Rolls-Royce 200EX

The Rolls-Royce 200EX was an experimental car unveiled by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars at the Geneva Motor Show on 3 March 2009, presented by chairman Ian Robertson. It was a design study for a contemporary four-door saloon and showed the direction of RR4, a new model series due for production in 2010. It followed the 100EX of 2004 and the 101EX of 2006 in the company's line of experimental cars, which are fully working vehicles rather than clay and foam models. Chief Designer Ian Cameron described it as a touring saloon that is less formal than earlier models. It has rear-hinged coach doors that open through 83 degrees, LED headlamps either side of a grille shaped more like a jet intake, seven-spoke 20-inch wheels and a Darkest Tungsten finish. The table lists a V12 engine, a length of 5399 mm and a wheelbase of 3295 mm. Interior designer Alan Sheppard used Creme Light leather and Santos Palissander veneer.
