Rolls-Royce With Chauffeur Driver in NYC

BMW North America Chairman to become Rolls-Royce CEO  Filed under: Hirings/Firings, BMW, Rolls-Royce Tom Purves, Chairman of BMW North America, is getting a new desk — one that is adorned with a silver Flying Lady. As of July 1, Purves will take over as the CEO of BMW’s Rolls-Royce brand in Goodwood, England. Replacing Tom Purves as the CEO of BMW’s North American Unit will be Jim O’Donnell, who has occupied the No. 2 seat since the beginning of this month. Purves is no stranger to Rolls-Royce. He spent the first 17 years of his career there occupying several different management positions. The timing for his departure from BMW is interesting, though. BMW has a mandatory retirement age of 60. Coincidentally, that just happens to be the age Purves will celebrate on his birthday this November. Rolls-Royce, one of the most prestigious automakers in the world, doesn’t have a mandatory retirement age. [Source: Automotive News, subs. req'd]   Permalink | Email this | Comments

OrnaMental: NY dealership commissions $200k diamond Rolls-Royce hood ornament  Filed under: Aftermarket, Rolls-Royce As far as hood ornaments go, it’s hard to top the Rolls-Royce “Spirit of Ecstasy”. The flying lady is so highly valued, that on the latest models, the ornament can electrically retract into the top of the grille. But you know how it is; for some, enough is never enough. Count among them Manhattan Motorcars, as the New York dealership commissioned this $200,000 diamond-encrusted ornament. To create it, jewelry designer Jean Kemanjian used 150 karats worth of VVS1-quality, D-color diamonds and a handful of yellow diamonds for the wings, all laid down in pavé style over platinum for a smooth surface. Although the designer says it’s not for sale or reproduction, somehow we doubt that the financially-enabled would have trouble getting one made. Until then, the Manhattan Motorcars has the only one in existence, and put it on display at its booth at the New York Auto Show.

Spy Shots: Rolls Royce RR4 – the Baby Rolls  Filed under: Spy Photos, Sedans/Saloons, Rolls-Royce Click above for high-res spy shots of the Rolls-Royce RR4 We’ve shown you spy shots before of the upcoming “Baby Rolls”, dubbed internally by Rolls Royce as the RR4, but none as good as these. Caught in clear view by KGP photographers, the upcoming “entry level” car by Rolls Royce that’s based on the same underpinnings as the next BMW 7-Series looks for all the world like a little Phantom, just wearing less conspicuous consumption on its sleeve. What we have here is a Rolls Royce that should more of a driver’s car than the Phantom, a true chauffeur-driven chariot if ever there was one. Like Bentley has its Continental line for the up and coming super rich who care about driving dynamics more than lineage and pedigree, so too will the RR4 reach out to those who don’t care about monolithic grilles (it’s still got one as you can see through the covering) and 2-inch thick carpeting. We do notice, however, that the RR4 appears to be sporting rear suicide doors, which is a nice touch that links the smaller car with its big bro’. A range of engines have been rumored that include all manner of V12s and V8s, as well as a diesel. Time will tell, but for now we’re day dreaming of an epic comparison test between a Bentley Continental Flying Spur and the RR4. Check out more pics in the gallery below.   Gallery: Rolls Royce RR4 – spy shots [Source: KGP Photographers]   Permalink | Email this | Comments
