Ultimate Factories: Rolls-Royce (DVD)

The Rolls-Royce Phantom is the ultimate symbol of automotive luxury. The brand has been revived with a technological transfusion by new owner BMW, yet the Phantom model remains as British as the umbrellas built into its doors. That's right - each one comes with a Teflon-coated hide-away umbrella that can pop out with the touch of a button. Ultimate Factories goes inside the creation of this supercar to reveal all the extravagant touches you'd expect the sumptuous polished wood interior, a 15-speaker, nine-channel stereo system and the legendary whisper-quiet ride. It also has a mammoth V-12 engine capable of going from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. Then head inside three plants in England and Germany to see how an international team of skilled craftspeople perfectly weld, sculpt, laser-cut, paint and customize each one of these ultimate luxury cars.
