Chapter 536 Ten Million Pounds Luxury Car
Susan got the plane done and flew to the south of Britain again, her target being the Rolls-Royce headquarters.
Wang Ye was going to buy a few more cars this time, and the first thing he thought of was a Rolls-Royce.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom he is sitting in now, Wang Ye said that he is very satisfied, as for supercars like Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti, etc., Wang Ye does not really want to buy.
He rarely has the opportunity to drive on his own now, and even if he does drive for a ride once in a while, he pays attention to comfort, and as for performance, he doesn't care very much.
There are many cars everywhere in China, and no matter how strong the performance is, it can't be played.
Even the Aston Martin ONE 77 rarely has a chance to exceed 120 mph, and Wang Ye is a good law-abiding citizen.
Therefore, when buying a car again, it is still based on comfort and luxury, so in this case, there are not many brands to choose from, and Rolls-Royce must be in the first place.
Rolls-Royce, a brand owned by BMW, has long been acquired by BMW.
However, the headquarters and factory are still located in the south of Britain and have never been moved.
Although BMW is also a high-end car, if you put the Rolls-Royce on BMW's production line to assemble it, it is estimated that few people will buy it again.
It's not that BMW's production line technology is not advanced enough, and the assembled cars are not high enough.
Rich people just pay attention to style, and what they pursue is to be different!
Why can Rolls-Royce sell so expensive, because this car is all in its original factory, all hand-assembled, which is "ingenuity"!
Because of this, everyone is willing to pay millions of ultra-high prices for it, in fact, in terms of cost, the cost of this car is not much higher than that of a million-level supercar.
……
The reason why Wang Ye asked Susan to run the Rolls-Royce headquarters this time was that he didn't want to buy a finished car, he wanted to customize a Rolls-Royce sports car of his own!
This is not a privilege, Rolls-Royce can indeed be customized, from the paint to the car's various spare parts, including the interior, seats, and starry sky ceiling lights, they can be customized.
Rolls-Royce doesn't claim to be "two Rolls-Royces that are never exactly the same".
However, this time Wang Ye's customization is a little different from the past, because not only the spare parts, but also the entire body shape, he plans to change it.
Because of the Rolls-Royce sports car, he didn't feel too good-looking.
Rolls-Royce has a total of two models of sports cars, one soft top and one hard top, which is actually one model.
The hard top is called "Phantom", and what Wang Ye wants to customize is to improve it on the basis of the Phantom.
……
Rolls-Royce headquarters, the person in charge of reception, couldn't help but be stunned after listening to Susan's request.
Although they claim that the car can provide full customization services, this customization is too thorough.
If you do what Susan asks, you will have to adjust the production line and re-produce a new model.
Of course, the chassis engine does not need to be changed, the main change is the body shape and interior part, but in this way, it is also very, very troublesome!
That is, here at Rolls-Royce, they use more manual procedures in the assembly process of the car, and it is possible to be fully customized like this.
If it is a large factory like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, it is impossible to adjust the production line for a customer, because the cost is too high!
The person in charge who received Susan was an old traditional British man in his fifties, the kind of person who looked personable and had the so-called gentlemanly demeanor.
He looked at the requests he had jotted down from Susan.
……
The front face is outlined in brushed aluminum, and it is required to be hand-ground to create a mirror effect.
The iconic Parthenon grille with retro round headlights gives people a sense of not being angry, which is a natural must-have.
The standing Celebratory Goddess logo requires a relatively rare light blue pure natural crystal material, and it also has a luminous effect at night.
If the little gold man on the front of a normal Rolls-Royce car is lost, the price of the accessories is 240,000 yuan! With this one logo, you can buy a good B-class car. As for the pure natural crystal material that Susan requested, the price is even more unimaginable.
In addition, the Rolls-Royce custom department also has to inlay the royal industry's noble badge directly on the grille, which does not need to be installed separately, which not only ensures the beauty of the front of the car but also highlights the identity of the car's haute couture!
The side of the car is still a two-door coupe styling, with a two-seater design that allows for more storage space in the rear, while the carriage-style doors that are unique to the Rolls-Royce family will continue to be used.
Speaking of Rolls-Royce's carriage doors, in fact, at the beginning, it was not the only one, and in the earliest days, Bentley was also like this.
At the beginning, the British aristocracy was popular with horse-drawn carriages, and the design of the door was also to allow the nobles to get on and off the carriage instead of getting into it but to sit in, and the horse-drawn carriage door was also a symbol of the status of the British nobility at that time, and later their cars were replaced by cars.
Rolls-Royce and Bentley also use horse-drawn carriage door design, in fact, the earliest Fangs-Royce and Bentley are one, and later Bentley was acquired by Volkswagen, Fangs-Caisi was acquired by BMW, Bentley's side-by-side door has not been retained, but BMW has retained the Fangs-Royce side-by-side door design, making it a classic feature of Fangs-Royce.
The tail styling should be based on the swept tail design of some custom Rolls-Royce models in the 30s of the 20th century, and incorporate the yacht styling style, and the whole body, if you look down from above, is a yacht. The roof is covered with full glass to create the perfect panoramic canopy effect!
Inside, the overall layout is not much different from the normal Phantom, but in terms of materials, Susan has asked for a more luxurious touch, with large areas of tinned ebony and walnut accents that retain natural textures, while champagne and wine glasses hidden in the central armrest further emphasise the car's luxurious atmosphere.
……
"You...... It's a car redesigned for us. The head of the customization department said with a difficult face.
"Can't you?" asked Susan rhetorically.
"Yes, it can be done, but the cost is too high......"
"Then do this, how much money you quote directly. Susan said happily.
Seeing Susan's resolute attitude, the head of the customization department could only get up and leave first, and go to the technical department to check how much it would cost if he followed Susan's requirements.
Susan didn't have to wait long before she got an offer.
A whole ten million pounds!
Converted into RMB, that's 85 million yuan!
