The '''Rolls-Royce Camargue''', considered by many automotive enthusiasts to be the most distinctive [[Rolls-Royce Motors|Rolls-Royce]] vehicle ever produced, is a two-door [[coupé]] that was introduced in March of 1975. The Camargue's body, built in [[London]] by Rolls-Royce's coachbuilding division [[Mulliner Park Ward]], was designed by [[Italy|Italian]] automotive designer [[Sergio Pininfarina]] — the Camargue was Rolls-Royce's first post-war production model not to be designed in-house.

When it was launched, the Camargue, which was the flagship of the Rolls-Royce lineup, was the most expensive production car in the world, selling for approximately [[US$]]147,000, or [[Pound sterling|£]]83,000 (which adjusted for inflation, would be [[US$]]550,604 in 2005 dollars). The car was sold in very limited numbers in [[Europe|European]], [[United States|American]], [[Canada|Canadian]], [[Australia|Australian]] and [[Asia|Asian]] markets. It was named after a renowned breed of horses from the southern [[France|French]] province of [[Camargue]].

The Camargue shares a platform with the [[Rolls-Royce Corniche (1971)|Rolls-Royce Corniche]] and [[Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow|Silver Shadow]]. It is powered by the same 6.75 L [[V8]] engine as the Silver Shadow, though the Camargue is slightly more powerful. The transmission was also carried over — a [[General Motors Corporation|General Motors]] [[Turbo-Hydramatic]] 3-speed [[automatic transmission|automatic]].

The car, which is large for a coupé, sits on a 3048 mm (120 in) wheelbase. It was the first Rolls-Royce automobile to be designed to [[Metric system|metric]] dimensions, and was the first Rolls-Royce to feature a slanted [[grille]]; the Camargue's grille slants at an inclined angle of seven degrees. It was also the first vehicle in the world to offer completely automatic split-level [[climate control]], a system that reputedly required 8 years to develop.

The Camargue's design is unlike that of any Rolls-Royce before or since. The car's lines are angular and sleek, typical of an Italian luxury sedan. The car's body is long and wide, but unmistakably that of a coupé. The wideness of the body is further emphasized by a wide grille, [[headlight]]s and tail lights.

The first 60 Camargues produced used [[SU carburetor|SU]] [[carburettor]]s, while the remaining 471 used [[Solex]] units. The Camargue was fitted with the Silver Shadow II's power rack and pinion steering rack in February 1977. In 1979, it received the rear [[independent suspension]] of the [[Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit|Silver Spirit]].

Production of the Rolls-Royce Camargue ended in 1986. During the car's 11-year production run, 530 Rolls-Royce Camargues were built, as well as one specially-ordered [[Bentley Motors Limited|Bentley]] Camargue.
