Rolls-Royce to invest £300m in Goodwood facility in readiness for EV future

Rolls-Royce has announced an additional £300m in funding for its Goodwood manufacturing site as it looks to broaden its bespoke facility and prepare the brand for future electric vehicles.

The investment – which is the largest single injection of cash into the plant since it opened in 2003 – will create extra room for the brand’s Bespoke and Coachbuild projects which allow customers to uniquely tailor their cars. During 2024 Rolls-Royce saw a 10 per cent increase in Bespoke content value per vehicle produced.
