Rolls Royce 100EX

-- ROLLS ROYCE EXPERIMENTAL AUTO -- The 100EX is the first Experimental auto to be created by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars since BMW Group purchased the company in 1998 and launched the all-new Phantom in January 2003. Built on an aluminum frame, the 100Ex features a large four-seat two-door configuration. Rolls Royce 100EXThe car celebrates the 100th anniversary of Rolls-Royce, and there currently is no plan to produce this as an actual production release model.

Much of the design aesthetic behind the new car is meant to pull from a nautical theme. The teak wood that can be seen throughout the interior/trunk of the car along with the polished metal make the 100Ex seemRolls Royce 100EX more like a boat than anything else.

Measuring 5669mm, the 100Ex is only about 6.5 inches shorter than the Rolls Phantom. Rolls also decided to drop the coupe convertible by about 3 inches in relation to the phantom. When the Phantom was publicly debuted, there was a lot of buzz around the suicide doors.

The two coach doors of 100EX demonstrate the marriage of form and function throughout the car. They are large enough to allow exceptional access for rear-seat passengers, hinged at the rear in the style of many exceptional pre-war touring cars and like the rear doors of the new Phantom.

Even though Rolls-Royce has publicly said this car wont make it to production, we think that the warm reception its received make it more likely that we might see this car in the streets at some point. ~ Hope you enjoy!
