Pepper, BMW AG is the parent company of the current iteration of the Rolls-Royce entity. I'm pretty sure the engine in that Wraith is a BMW Twin Turbo V-12.

There is a really interesting story about rolls Royce/Bentley and the purchase by bmw & Volkswagen. Anyways. Volkswagen gave up complete rights in 2002. While the twin turbo engine is built by bmw with some tweaks, rolls Royce cars are handbuilt by the English in England. Nobody does it with more class and style than the English: rolls, Bentley, aston, and maybe Jag.:)

did tibby say something?;)

Good evening Snails :)

I wouldn't mind driving the Rolls, an MP4-12C, or even a Bugatti Veyron, but wouldn't want to pay for gas, the sticker price, or insurance on one :D Can I just borrow yours for a few hours Pepper? :D
(The only color I just can't handle is bright yellow)


EDIT: "Like" is working for me....I just "Liked" Fran :)

I believe the old adage goes, if you can afford to buy it, you can afford the upkeep.:)

I have serious consider renting a Ferrari while out in Vegas to use on the track... they usually have deal for $200 for an hour or so.

Yeah, I go to the NY Auto Show every year. Last year, I almost joined one of the "Auto Clubs" where you pay a yearly fee in return for a limited amount of drive time with a stable of exotics. I talked myself out of it...the reasoning was how much fun would it be to drive an exotic in the horrible traffic and road conditions of NYC?? I would be more interested in checking out the Vegas option.

LOL, Haze :laugh:
