What car brand does the double R emblem represent?
1 Answers
The double R emblem represents Rolls-Royce, a luxury car brand from the United Kingdom. The double R logo stands for the initials of its two founders, Charles Stewartrolls-Rolles and Henry Royce. Rolls-Royce adheres to the philosophy of "Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it." Here is some information about Rolls-Royce: 1. The famous Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament was inspired by a 2,000-year-old statue of the Winged Victory of Samothrace in the Louvre Museum in Paris. When automobile art master Charles Sykes was commissioned to design the emblem for Rolls-Royce, he incorporated the Winged Victory into his creative inspiration. Thus, a graceful goddess with outstretched arms and flowing robes emerged, officially becoming the Rolls-Royce emblem in 1911. 2. Rolls-Royce was officially established in the UK in 1906. In 1907, it launched its first car, the Silver Ghost, which was hailed as "the best car in the world." In 1997, the Rolls-Royce Group announced the sale of the Rolls-Royce brand, and in 1998, German automaker BMW acquired Rolls-Royce. 3. The Rolls-Royce Phantom was the first product launched after BMW's acquisition of Rolls-Royce. Thanks to its all-aluminum body design, the massive car weighs less than 2.5 tons. Paired with a 6.7L V12 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, the Phantom accelerates from 0-100 km/h in under 6 seconds. 4. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is the brand's first SUV model. Externally, the Cullinan resembles a taller Phantom, but the company prefers to refer to it as a "high-bodied vehicle" and an "all-terrain vehicle."
