2009 Rolls Royce 200EX Concept

ROLLS-ROYCE 200EX CONCEPT

Since Rolls-Royce fell under the umbrella of BMW, with most of its range was in derivatives of the imposing Phantom. The 200EX Concept presented in Geneva, the precursor Baby Rolls required to "democratize" the offer of the manufacturer of prestige.

Based on the same platform as the new BMW 7 Series, the Rolls-Royce 200EX Concept is timely to diversify the manufacturing history of Crewe. One to be called Silver Ghost when marketed in memory of the legendary English limousine that carried the great of this world of Edward VII to Tsar Nicolas II, should be provided around 200,000 euros.

The bow, stern doors and antagonists of this study clearly play Rolls-Royce on the relationship with the Phantom. However, the flag stands out more clearly in here and there with the airs of Audi A8.

On board the presence of precious woods and Baroque clocks remind you that you are sitting in a limousine to really share that would not disgrace the streets of Kensington. Under the hood, the customer will be offered a unique V12 that will be also boarded the 7 Series, but with an engine and power are still unknown.

I bet that the Silver Ghost portfolios that will delight too lost in the stock market in order to still afford a Phantom. This type of car is usually driven by chauffeurs, they should not complain about a limousine to the template less imposing than its big sister and so much more manageable on the ledges of Monaco or parking of Geneva. With about 5.40 m, the 200EX Concept is indeed remarkably shorter than the Phantom and his 5.84 m 6.09 m without mention of version limo!
