No other vehicle turns heads quite like a Rolls-Royce, even in a city like Miami, where ultra-luxury and exotic cars abound. The brand is synonymous with opulence, a quality that captivates consumers and other automakers alike.  In 2016, Rolls-Royce redefined the luxury automobile market by introducing a new level of rarified vehicle expression, Rolls-Royce Black Badge. The debut of the now iconic Black Badge range of models was a nod to the brand’s spirit of innovation and disruption and brought about a new demand from the next generation of luxury enthusiasts. Why Black Badge vehicles are so desirable Rolls-Royce states: "Black Badge is for those who reject conformity and live on their own terms. It's for the innovators, trailblazers, rule-breakers — and above all — those who dare." Indeed, the special edition vehicles seamlessly marry Rolls-Royce's si

A Tribute to the Rare Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe

Image
  As I turn on McFarlane for a lidless drive up Bayshore Drive, I’m greeted by a quad of jaywalking onlookers just past my favorite South Beach coffee spot. We trade smiles while I pose for an impromptu photo. “Sweet ride,” one hollers; his words nearly rebound into the ether by the forcefield of cool jazz I’ve treated my ears to. Once they clear out, my heel finds its natural place, and I zip off. Such is the life of your typical Rolls-Royce Phantom owner. This two-door Phantom – a mesmerizing Drophead Coupe Convertible – is anything but typical, however. At the time it was discontinued in 2016, the Drophead Phantom was deemed the most expensive Rolls-Royce in the British company’s history. In fact, the first model to arrive in the States was auctioned off for $2 million in nearby Naples, FL, and only an estimated 2000 models were sold globally, certainly making this Phantom convertible one of the rarest cars in the world. So, could it have all been just a dream? Was I merely salivati

(That means it’s built all-new from the ground up.) Take a closer look and you’ll see that it’s a larger, wider luxury car that sits atop a modular Architecture of Luxury platform and features a fully reimagined and refined cabin.

Face it: You want to know more. Here’s what you’ll find when you get behind the wheel of the new Rolls-Royce Ghost. A 6.75-liver Twin-Turbo V12, At

021 Rolls-Royce Cullinan: All-Terrain Luxury SUV

    Welcome to Luxury Reimagined The Sports Utility Vehicle. Darling of the soccer-mom set. The do-anything, go-anywhere Swiss Army Knife of family conveyances. The vehicle of choice for four-wheeled, off-road adventures. A cavernous, carryall that swallows just about everything from kiddies and camping gear to metric tons of luggage. Hardly the image of an ultra-lux vehicle designed to cocoon its occupants in quiet, sophisticated, and palatial comfort and world-class finery. Thus, it may be difficult to wrap one’s head around the rather novel notion of an SUV hand-crafted by the world’s premier luxury automaker, whose storied marque is synonymous with the supreme expression of automotive prestige and pedigree to which all others aspire. A Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV. Say again? Surely the Automotive Gods are smiling at that one. But, in 2018, the master craftsmen ensconced in Roll-Royce’s Goodwood, UK design center had indeed birthed just such an astonishingly unique vehicle. It’s called
