Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will celebrate the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed with a significant presence on the famous Hillclimb. Ghost Series II and Wraith will be on familiar turf, with Goodwood House within sight of the Home of Rolls-Royce.
Course Car. The Course Car this year will be a Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II, resplendent with LED race lights. The car is finished in Diamond Black, with the interior in Black and contrasting Hotspur Red leather and Black Stained Ash veneer. The contemporary design for the roof‑mounted race lights was handcrafted in aluminium at the manufacturing plant. The Course Car will be driven by David Monks, Chief Tester, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and the car can be seen on the course between each Hillclimb Run throughout the weekend.
Supercar. The ultimate gentlemen’s Gran Turismo, Wraith can be seen on the Supercar Run up the hill and in between Hillclimbs in the Supercar Paddock. The car presented is finished in Ensign Red with contrast silver, with the interior in Black, Seashell and contrasting Hotspur Red leather and a machined metal facia. The coach doors open to reveal Canadel Panelling in Tudor Oak, named after the famous Canadel cove in the South of France where Sir Henry Royce and his design and engineering teams spent their winters. Wraith will be driven by Joerg Weidinger, a champion mountain and hill climb driver and test engineer for BMW Motorsport.
Both cars were built specifically for the event and feature unique Bespoke treadplates that read: ‘Hand built in Goodwood, England for the Festival of Speed 2015’.
An exclusive fleet of Rolls-Royce motor cars will also be evident in the Goodwood area during the Festival of Speed, with invited VIP guests being conveyed in luxury from the Company’s manufacturing plant and head office on the South-Eastern corner of the Goodwood Estate.
