What makes rolls royce so expensive

Sometimes buyers want their car to have the color shade of the most extraordinary things, for example, the color of their pets' fur. In that case, the color shade is produced using DNA material to get the exact variant. Even in the color coating process, seven coats of colors are used.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom comes with a dashboard that can be a gallery of artwork as wished upon by the buyer. In this case, too, the DNA of the buyer can be coordinated to produce expected results.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom model's dashboard has been curated by famous artists who the buyers had commissioned. From gold-plated artwork to 3-dimensional printing on stainless steel, custom designs have been produced using the buyer's DNA replica.

Another area of customization in the Rolls Royce is the embroidery in the upholstery. Customers have been experimental in this sphere as well. But the most successful product is considered to be the Rolls-Royce Rose Phantom with its stunning embroidery work.

There are various steps of hard but intelligent work that the embroidering procedure involves. Far from being just about turning a print into a stitch, it is about more technical aspects like the reflection of light and the stitch's angle. Rolls-Royce cars come with star-studded headliners designed to create an exquisite ambiance. These starlight headliners are made by perforating more than holes with fiber optic thread, and it is undoubtedly a lengthy procedure.

Most buyers tend to customize even this part of the project. Sometimes, they ask the creators to create particular constellations or shooting star effects.

Known for producing hand-crafted automobiles that promise a seamless "magical carpet ride" for its customers, a Rolls-Royce car does not come cheap.

These are some of the best-selling Rolls-Royce models, and these are their entry-level prices. But with virtually unlimited optional extras, upgrades, and customizations, the true cost of a bespoke Rolls-Royce has no limits. In fact, Rolls-Royce refuses to even discuss its base prices. In fact there isn't really a specific base price which we would discuss because it depends on each customer as an individual and the bespoke options, which they like to design and develop with the Rolls-Royce bespoke team.

In fact, Rolls-Royce refuses to even discuss its base prices. Rhodri Good : There isn't really a specific base price which we would discuss because it really depends on each customer as an individual and the bespoke options, which they like to design and develop with our bespoke team. Narrator : So, what are some of these bespoke extras?

And is that what makes Rolls-Royce so expensive? David Dean : One of the first obvious starting points probably is the color. We have a palette of 44,plus colors. We replicate people's lipsticks, something from your house, something you own, something you've seen. Even we've done the dog of an owner, a red setter. So we exactly replicate them, whether it be by the DNA, the chemistry, or whatever.

For us, it's unique. It'll be registered as your color, and you can give it a name, and it's yours. And if someone else has seen it and wants to use that exact finish, we have to go to that person and ask their permission. When we go to the paint shop, you'll see it's called the Surface Finish Centre, because it's a bit of an insult to say, "We're painting the car. You're going to have at least seven layers of coat. There's primers, there's base coats, there's color, and, unusually, we put on two clear coats of lacquer.

But you could have up to 23 layers of coating, which we've done before, equating to about 45 kilograms in weight just of coat. Narrator : In addition to the endless variations of color, Rolls-Royce customers can infuse their paint with materials to create special effects.

One particularly wealthy customer went one step further, requesting the addition of 1, diamonds. Dean : He wanted a bit more sparkle in the finish, so he gave us a bag of diamonds. We crushed them. They were infused into the paint Sun King Diamonds sourced and crushed the diamonds and delivered the final product.

Narrator: Remarkably, the detailed paintwork on Rolls-Royce cars is done by hand by just one person. A coachliner means that I am able to put this pinstripe onto the side of the car. The uniqueness is the fact that I do it completely freehand, and I'm the only one within Rolls-Royce that can do this. So, the brushes I use is made of squirrel hair.

We found that most brushes nowadays are man-made, which tends to leave brush marks within these lines. This is a natural hair, and this natural hair tends to leave no marks at all. So, we work to one standard, which is a higher standard, so we use one that leaves no brush marks at all.
