who owns rolls royce
No they are not the same. SECOND ANSWER When the actual rolls royce company sold off the car division, it sold the naming and badge rights to BMW (producers of modern rolls râ¦oyces) but sold the parts, designs and manufacturing machinery to Bentley. So, in some ways, Bentleys and Rolls Royce cars are the same thing.
Volkswagen CEO Ferdinand Piech was confident that his engineers could replace the BMW engines with own engines in a short time. On the other hand he was in a difficult situation, because Volkswagen had also acquired Bentley, which was owned by Rolls-Royce before and was fully dependent on Rolls/BMW technology.
