Rolls-Royce Motor Cars exhibition

#rollsroyce #motorcars #car #bmw #museum #manufacturing #auto #automotive #engineering The first-ever Rolls-Royce Motor Cars exhibition at the BMW Museum in Munich officially opened on 20 March. The Strive for Perfection exhibition celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Rolls-Royce marque being owned by the BMW Group; it also commemorates the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sir Henry Royce.

Covering more than 1,000m2 over five floors, the exhibition includes 15 original Rolls-Royce motor cars dating from 1907 to 2012. These include the 10EX, which is considered to be one of the most significant experimental cars in the world; it was built in 1926 to demonstrate the performance potential of the ‘New Phantom’. Sir Henry engineered and drove the 10EX himself.

Torsten Müller-Ötvös, the CEO of BMW, said: “Our contemporary motor cars present a unique blend of German expertise and technology with outstanding British craftsmanship and design.

“It is therefore appropriate that this key moment in the story of this Great British manufacturing success is told in the BMW Museum — an iconic location which is both the ‘soul’ and the ‘memory’ of the BMW Group.”
