Rolls-Royce: Goodwood started with a Phantom 🎥
REVIEW On January 1, 2003, Rolls-Royce delivered the first vehicle produced at the new Goodwood site to a customer - a seventh-generation Phantom - at a special ceremony.
Since that January 1, no fewer than twenty models and model variants have been created and largely hand-built at Goodwood. The Phantom and its two twins Phantom Coupé and Phantom Drophead Coupé were followed by the Ghost, the most successful Rolls-Royce model in the brand's history to date.
Other models launched were the Wraith in 2013 and the Dawn in 2016, and in 2018 the Cullinan joined the ranks, the SUV from the noble house.
Special Black Badge and EX models
With the exception of the Phantom, all models are now also available in the Black Badge variant, which was developed specifically for the brand's new, young clientele. Since its launch in 2003, Rolls-Royce in Goodwood has also produced numerous concept cars with the EX epithet. The 100 EX of 2004 featured a 9-liter V16 engine, the 101 EX of 2006 and the 200 EX of 2009 brought further new ideas to the table, as did the 102 EX of 2011 and the 103 EX of 2016.
New electric world of the noble brand
The first 20 years at Goodwood culminate in the new Spectre electric model. The 100 percent battery car marks the transition to the world of electromobility, in which only electrically powered models will be built at Rolls-Royce from 2030.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is part of the BMW Group and employs 2500 people at its site in Goodwood, West Sussex.
