Red Dot design award honors Rolls-Royce Ghost, others

Filed under: Europe, Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce, Peugeot, Design/Style

Still thinking of the Rolls-Royce Ghost as a mini-me Phantom? Think again. The design is apparently standing on its own merits, and has won the praise of the Red Dot jury. Considered one of – if not the – definitive awards for superior design, the Red Dot is awarded every year to an array of products, from furniture and office supplies to electronics and passenger vehicles.

This year the award was given to a wide range of automobiles, including the Skoda Yeti and Superb Combi, BMW 5 Series and X1, Volkswagen Polo, Kia Venga, Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet and Opel Astra. The “best of the best” designation, however, was reserved for the Rolls-Royce – which follows the prize awarded to the Phantom Drophead Coupe two years ago – along with the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and Peugeot RCZ. Follow the jump for more details.
