Rolls Royce 200EX Concept Live From Geneva Show Floor

 Rolls Royce 200EX Concept Live From Geneva Show Floor
Rolls Royce 200EX Concept in Geneva 2009

Rolls-Royce brought out the new 200EX concept as expected. If produced, the £180,000 saloon has the same level of luxury as a RR Phantom, but at a significantly lower cost.

The 200EX keeps passengers riding in comfort on the same wheelbase BMW uses on the 7-Series. The two vehicles will share several build characteristics as a result. Similar air springs to the ones found on the Phantom will be used to keep that same "waftability" the label is known for. Body will be constructed mainly from steel, likely making the car a bit safer in side-impact crashes.

Passengers in back will have quite a bit of legroom, thanks to the 5.4-meter overall length. They will use the BMW V12 engine mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. An infotainment system will likely wind up on the car should it go to production.

I'd take this over a Bentley Flying Spur for sure! Great business move.

180,000 for a 7 series... better be a damned good 7 series to command that price in the recession

No offense, but looks a little boring to me; something that we would've seen come out a couple of years ago. Nice design though.

This is probably a brilliant car but you couldnt own one without feeling last at the lights when a real Roller pulls alongside

Whats up with the silver windowframe, do they want it to look like a convertible? Let the big one have the two tone colour.
