Rolls-Royce to reveal its first ever concept car in June

As part of the BMW Group's centenary celebrations, Rolls-Royce will reveal its first concept car in its history. The concept will be called Rolls-Royce Grand Sanctuary and is one of four BMW Group concepts planned for this, joining the recently unveiled BMW Vision Next 100, and Mini and BMW Motorrad concepts due later this year.

The Rolls-Royce concept car is likely to make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, that'll be held from June 23-26, 2016 in London. The festival will host the UK leg of the BMW Group’s world tour. For now, BMW has only confirmed that the concept will be unveiled between June 16 and June 26.

Besides the dates, BMW has not disclosed any information on the car.

The Mini concept car will also be showcased alongside the Rolls-Royce, and will exhibit the brand’s upcoming schemes for vehicle customisation.

The BMW Group’s centenary world tour will begin with an Asian leg hosted in Beijing from May 5-15, followed by the UK leg, and will end with the North American leg which will be held in Los Angeles from October 11-16, 2016.
