Eight allotropes of carbon: a) diamond, b) graphite, c) lonsdaleite, d) C 60 buckminsterfullerene, e) C 540, Fullerite f) C70, g) amorphous carbon, and h) single-walled carbon nanotube. Carbon is capable of forming many allotropes due to its valency.Well-known forms of carbon include diamond and graphite. In recent decades many more allotropes and forms of carbon have been discovered and researched including ball shapes such as buckminsterfullerene and sheets such as graphene.ight allotropes of carbon: a) diamond, b) graphite, c) lonsdaleite, d) C 60 buckminsterfullerene, e) C 540, Fullerite f) C70, g) amorphous carbon, and h) single-walled carbon nanotube.

For the current car manufacturers, see Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and Bentley. For other uses, see Rolls-Royce (disambiguation). Rolls-Royce Motors was created in 1973 during the de-merger of the Rolls-Royce car business from the nationalised Rolls-Royce Limited. Vickers acquired the company in 1980 and sold it to Volkswagen in 1998.
BMW bought Rolls Royce Motorcars Ltd. (RRM) in August 1998. It was the end of a weird story. Some years before, BMW and Rolls-Royce signed a contract about BMW providing engines, electronics and powertrains for Rolls-Royce. Everybody expected BMW to takeover RRM. In July 1998, all of a sudden, Volkswagen announced that they had signed an agreement with Vickers, the owner of RRM.
