The Rolls-Royce brand has been around since 1906, but it only became famous for its cars after 1973, when Rolls-Royce Motors separated from the main company. The world was introduced to the Silver Shadow and Phantom VI in the 60s, while the Corniche variants and Silver Seraph came many years later. However, the modern era of Rolls-Royce cars officially began in 2003, when BMW obtained sole trading rights to the brand name and logo. These luxurious cruisers are now among the most opulent in the USA, with price tags that only the 1% could ever dream of affording.

Ultra-luxury vehicles are not common, and to even be considered for this niche segment, a motorcar has to be truly exceptional. Few cars can compare with a Rolls-Royce, but there are a few that offer at least similar levels of performance, comfort, and craftsmanship. That being said, these are the qualities that make Rolls so hard to beat.
