Τον Φεβρουάριο του 2015, η Rolls-Royce ανακοίνωσε την ανάπτυξη μιας ολοκαίνουριας αλουμινένιας πλατφόρμας, στην οποία θα βασιστούν όλα τα μελλοντικά μοντέλα της εταιρίας, που θα κυκλοφορήσουν από το 2018, μεταξύ αυτών και το SUV.
Σήμερα, η βρετανική εταιρεία ανακοίνωσε ότι έχει ξεκινήσει η φάση των δοκιμών της νέας αυτής αρχιτεκτονικής, με διάφορα μουλάρια να δοκιμάζονται σε δημόσιους δρόμους σε όλο τον κόσμο. Οι μηχανικοί στη τρέχουσα φάση των δοκιμών έχουν ως στόχο να διασφαλίσουν ότι η νέα δομή παρέχει εμπειρία “μαγικ0ύ χαλιού” σε μια ποικιλία από επιφάνειες και ότι είναι ανθεκτική σε ακραίες καιρικές συνθήκες.

ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS ANNOUNCES FUTURE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENTS
In February 2015, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars announced the development of an all-new aluminium space-frame architecture that will underpin all future Rolls-Royce models arriving in market from early 2018. The company today announced that it has begun the testing phase of this new architecture, with early preparatory activity seeing new engineering mules tested in public around the world.
The Architecture of Pure Luxury
The future of pure luxury motoring is already taking shape as Rolls-Royce Motor Cars begins testing its new aluminium space-frame architecture which will underpin all future Rolls-Royce model lines. The architecture will arrive in market from early 2018.
Engineering mules will be assessed on public roads in various locations around the world. The current testing phase aims to ensure that the new space-frame structure perfectly delivers Rolls-Royce’s trademark ‘magic-carpet ride’ on a variety of surfaces and that it is resilient to extreme weather conditions. The assessment of the new proprietary architecture is the first stage of a development programme that will see a new generation of Rolls-Royce motor cars become available from early 2018.
“Since 2003 and the commissioning of the new Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has reset the benchmark for luxury motoring,” comments Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “Now it is time to take the next step in the luxury journey. This is why I am announcing today that on-road testing of our all-new proprietary architecture is beginning. This new architecture of pure luxury represents considerable investment in the future of our great brand.”
