Rolls-Royce Celebrates 112 Years Of The Spirit of Ecstasy
Rolls-Royce celebrates the anniversary of its Spirit of Ecstasy, first registered as intellectual property of Rolls-Royce in 1911. The Spirit of Ecstasy is one of the most recognizable hood ornaments in the automotive world and has come to represent the pinnacle of quality and sophistication. The hood ornament depicts a woman with her arms outstretched, symbolizing the thrill of motion and freedom.
The Spirit of Ecstasy celebrates her anniversary in her most streamlined and athletic guise, having been specially recreated in 2022 for the all-electric Spectre. She’s also truly ageless: today, she more closely resembles the original drawings made in 1911 by her creator, the illustrator and sculptor Charles Sykes, than she’s ever done.
