Rolls-Royce Alpine Trial Centenary

This June completes a century since Rolls-Royce embarked on the Austrian Alpine Trials. The Austrian Alpine Trails are the most gruesome test of automotive endurance. Four silver Ghosts along with the Rolls-Royce Works Team and private entrant James Radley tackled over 1,800 miles of impossibly obstructed mountain terrain before the brand earned its title, as makers of the ‘Best Car in the World.’ Bet you didn’t know that!

Now, a hundred years later Rolls-Royce commemorates this moment in their history, by having the bespoke division develop an Alpine Trial Centenary Collection. It would be a first for a bespoke model to take its inspiration from a heritage Rolls-Royce. – Luxury Launches

The Rolls-Royce looks stunning in baby blue with a black grille and custom wheels.

The interiors hosts the bespoke story of the Alpine trials with the clock displaying the stages of the rally and timings, whilst inlays to rear picnic tables and the front fascia express the topography and distances of the Alpine route.
