What is the Rolls-Royce Camargue?
The Camargue is a two-door luxury coupé with a spacious cabin and room for rear passengers. It offered a more personal take on Rolls-Royce’s formal style, with distinctive bodywork designed in collaboration with Italian design house Pininfarina. Launched in 1975, it remained in production until 1987; the United States model-year listing covers 1984–1987.
Inside, the Camargue paired traditional Rolls-Royce details with a more modern, cockpit-inspired arrangement of instruments and controls. Its tilted grille and sharply defined lines made it one of the marque’s most distinctive designs.
