The iconic Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament has been given a refresh by the brand after being used for 111-years to help update its aesthetic and ready it for the next century. The hood ornament emblem maintains the aerodynamic design of the original but with a lower stance along with one foot braced to the wind. The emblem thus appears even more graceful than the original and will help to further set the vehicles apart from others on the road now as well as into the future.
The Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament stands slightly lower than the original at 82.73mm versus 100.01mm and is expected to start showing up on upcoming vehicle hoods soon.
