Why Rolls-Royce Cars Are So Expensive | So Expensive

I have a Rolls-Royce. I customized it so that every single component was replaced with a component of a 2011 Honda CR-V. Very bespoke.

I drove a Rolls Royce as a bellman in college. I can say it was one of the most awe-inspiring experiences I’ve had behind the wheel… not because I found myself in one, but because of the way it functioned. While doing that job, I drove almost every supercar you can imagine and nothing else compares. The thing that strikes you first is how it goes into gear. Actually, it doesn’t. I wasn’t sure I was in drive because there was no click or lurch as the transmission engaged. It just… was in gear. As you hit the gas, it doesn’t jerk or anything… it just glides. And it’s so true that you do not feel any bumps or potholes. You feel like you are floating. I was so in awe of the engineering and how they were able to accomplish this in the suspension on such a heavy car. The video discusses sensory deprivation and I can completely understand this. I’m not sure I would ever own one because I like the experience of driving and in certain circumstances it’s crucial to feel the road. It’s certainly an experience I’ll never forget.

I saw on another YouTube video a guy who bought a Rolls Royce Phantom and broke down in the middle of nowhere. He called some local tow company to take him to a garage. The people in the garage diagnosed the issue but didn't have the part and called Rolls Royce. Rolls Royce sent a chopper with a couple technicians and a new part to replace it free of charge. Now that's first class service.

I was offered a 1967 Rolls-Royce about 20 years ago. The engine needed a lot of work but the interior was in amazing shape, all handmade red leather seats and real burled walnut dashboard. But the thing I remember the most was turning on the ignition and feeling the car’s hydraulic system engage, like an airplane about to take off.

It would have cost many times more to repair it than the asking price, so I said no. But now I sort of regret it. It could have been the ultimate weekend hobby project.

I don't usually care about luxury items because so much of it is BS, but the skill and hours that go into these is really impressive

I spent a week working on the Rolls Royce production line for "work experience" when I was at school in the early 90s. They are definitely built like no other car on Earth, but they did let me attach the brake cables to a couple of cars so probably avoid buying any built in that period! Every single car comes with it's own spec sheet as they are all individually specced - but one day I remember we had 8 or so identical cars come down the line, turned out it was a bulk order from some sheikh in Dubai.

There’s a parallel between the automotive and financial worlds. Millionaires tend to flaunt their wealth, while billionaires do not. Nearly every manufacturer today prides itself on having the biggest and best screens in a car. But if you look at truly top tier marks like Rolls-Royce, and Bugatti, they have little to no technology in the cabin. Technology is completely subservient to the character of the car. They don’t even have glass roofs. They’re rather standard cars with the emphasis on quality coach building. That’s what luxury is; timelessness.

I used to valet at a luxury hotel in Los Angeles and the times we got Rolls-Royce was always amazing. The cars were truly luxurious to drive.

Hi! I'm excited to be here in your channel and I'm interested in learning more about investing and saving up for my retirement but am a little confused about the whole process. Any advice or tips to get me started up would be greatly appreciated.

One of the hardest flexes imaginable. He's not _a_ coachliner, he's _the_ coachliner

"Alright sir, we have some very fine glitter in a wide range of colors"

It's incredible as much time as they span in the exterior you would think the safety features would be above and beyond all other vehicles.

So cool. I've always loved the Ghost. Good to see this craftsmanship still exists, even if it is out of reach for most people. Got to love British luxury. They set the bar for the best in the world.
