The Rolls Royces body is mainly made out of aluminium and its chassis platform is exceptional. The interior, the body, the paint and the leather work are all specifically chosen by each customer in the Rolls Royce plant based in Goodwood (West Sussex).
The Goodwood based plant only has 2 robots in their factory, they are used to paint the cars body; after the machines paint the cars body, the paint gets hand polished. The rest of the work is all made by hand to give every car the Rolls Royce feeling and to keep this tradition alive.
