The first Rolls-Royce car, the 10 hp, was produced in 1904. The car was well-received by critics and customers alike, and the company quickly established a reputation for building reliable and luxurious vehicles. In 1906, Rolls-Royce introduced the Silver Ghost, which is considered to be one of the finest cars ever built. The Silver Ghost was known for its smooth ride, quiet operation, and powerful engine.
During the early 20th century, Rolls-Royce continued to produce high-quality cars for the wealthy and elite. The company also built engines for aircraft, and during World War I, Rolls-Royce engines were used in many British military aircraft.
After the war, Rolls-Royce continued to build luxury cars and aircraft engines. The company also diversified into other businesses, such as marine engines and industrial engines. In 1971, Rolls-Royce was nationalized by the British government, but it was privatized again in 1987.
Today, Rolls-Royce is a global company that employs over 50,000 people. The company manufactures luxury cars, aircraft engines, marine engines, and industrial engines. Rolls-Royce is headquartered in London, England.
