Rolls-Royce: The Icon Tour
"A Rolls-Royce evokes an unmistakable reaction to its effortless power and presence. The exterior merely hints at the real luxury within. A cocoon that envelops with refinement and comfort, with an attention to detail that is simply unrivalled. Every Rolls-Royce is painstakingly handcrafted to create the best car in the world." - as quoted from website.
The Icon Tour, catering to a very niche audience, arrived in Flower Dome Gardens by the Bay, Singapore, (Tokyo, Hong Kong and Seoul thereafter) as part of its Asian tour and left in a matter of two days. It is an extensive $1-million exhibition to commemorate its rich 110 years of iconic motoring and contemporary luxury history. A one-of-its-kind exhibition that takes you on a journey of timeless design, exquisite craftsmanship and visionary engineering of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
