Since the inception of Rolls-Royce and the start of Bentley a few years later, the two English brands have been rivals. They all focus on the top class of the automotive industry and manufacturers do it with their own models.
How different it was until twenty years ago. Although different chassis layout and character, the products were twins. They actually eliminated the same production method. Why did two luxury brands split?
The separation of Rolls-Royce and Bentley
Sjoerd answers that question in this episode. He explains how two prestigious car manufacturers came together, but above all, they broke up. What was the basis of the divorce? Why couldn’t the two continue their lives together? Why didn’t the German government of all people want a bumblebee? And how was the divorce implemented suddenly?
Sjoerd answers these questions and more. He takes you to a special page from the history book of Rolls-Royce and Bentley.
The story is told around the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph and the Bentley Arnage. During the storytelling you will see both examples in detail. Pay close attention to the difference between the two luxury limousines. Sjoerd also explains in the video what each model has. If you want to know more about the power center in Arnage, be sure to watch episode 191.
