About 100 Rolls-Royce vehicles will take part at the ceremony, the date being choosed as in the same day back in 1911 the Spirit of Ecstasy badge was choosed. Rolls-Royce also decided to add the “Spirit of Ecstasy Centenary-2011” inscription on each model which will exit the gates of the factory this year.

The Spirit of Ecstasy has a very interesting story, Charles Syker, a British sculptor deciding to put it in a statue. The British people from Rolls-Royce plan to organize more events of this kind this year for the same purpose, to celebrate the current Rolls-Royce badge.
