Rolls-Royce 101EX
Rolls-Royce 101EX
Rolls-Royce 101EX is the new experimental model brought to you by the great people at Rolls-Royce. The design of the 101EX was directed by chief designer Ian Cameron who says The design suggests tremendous effortless power
The 101EX is indeed a hand built beauty that is not only state-of-the-art but also has the same lightweight aluminum space frame chassis technology that other Rolls-Royce models have. These roots of the 101EX run deep and share a lot of its technology and design with that of the Phantom. Included in that list of things in common with the Phantom is the 6.75-litre V12 engine. The 101EX does however have a 250 mm shorter wheelbase and is 240 mm shorter overall then the Phantom.
Rolls-Royce says that at this time there are no plans to move the 101EX into production but is simply a chance to explore future design directions. In the words of Rolls-Royce the 101EX is the response to much interest by Rolls-Royce clients in a coupe.
The Rolls-Royce chief designer sums up the Rolls-Royce 101EX quite nicely in his own words:
101EX is a very modern 21st century interpretation of a classic Grand Touring coupé says Rolls-Royce chief designer Ian Cameron.
Comments: This driver s car as Rolls-Royce calls it is a very expensive Sunday driving type of car. I personally think Rolls-Royces are beautiful cars very sleek elegant and almost simple. However stately and beautiful these cars are they simply are not for me personally. I suppose if I won the lottery and had some extra money I would select a Rolls-Royce over a Maybach and even perhaps a Bentley but for now I will stick with what I have.
