About the Rolls-Royce Camargue
Launched in 1975, the Camargue was the first post-war Rolls-Royce to be designed by an outside styling house, Pininfarina. Its sharp, angular lines by Paolo Martin were a radical departure from the marque's traditional curves, making it one of the most controversial designs in automotive history. Beneath the Italian coachwork, it shared the Silver Shadow's floorpan and 6.75-litre V8, though it featured a more sophisticated split-level climate control system that took eight years to develop. Despite its immense price tag—nearly double that of a Silver Shadow—it remains a significant milestone as the first Rolls-Royce designed to metric dimensions.
