Chinese Geely GE – Rolls Royce made in China


A flying lady mascot on the bonnet with unique radiator and that is the classy Rolls Royce. Get in, and you will see plush interiors with huge seats, wooly carpet a wine cabinet to add that elegance. However, the car we are talking about here is not the £250,000 original Rolls-Royce Pahntom. It’s the Geely GE a china made look alike of the classy car. Ask the price of this RR look alike it comes at £30,000.


A price of £250,000 the original Rolls-Royce Phantom is a car for the privileged few. But the Chinese Geely GE claims that it is a re-invented classic. Costing just £30,000, the Geely GE, which stands for Geely Excellence, looks like it is a good attempt to offer a palace on 4 wheels. Chinese car companies have a reputation (ill I mean) for copying foreign classics – and making rip offs, sometimes prompting to severe legal action.

So, the original makers are contemplating on filing a suite. Geely GE made its first presence at the Shanghai Motor Show, which was displayed in close proximity to the Rolls Royce Phantom.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has great concern over protecting its brand image and it will go to any extent to curb such brand ruining attempts especially mimicking its product portfolio.
