Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has come out with more details about the production version of 200EX, the experimental car shown at the Geneva motor show early in March 2009.

The 200EX is currently being shown to potential customers on the first leg of a world tour in New York, where Rolls-Royce CEO Tom Purves spoke about the sedan known
at Rolls' Goodwood headquarters as 'RR4'.

“There has been a great deal of interest in this car since we first talked about producing a new model series in the autumn of 2006 and the reaction 200EX received at its unveiling at Geneva was very positive,” said Purves.

“As we move another step closer to the start of production at Goodwood, it is exciting to be able to share some of the specific technical details with customers and the media.”

“RR4 will deliver an authentic Rolls-Royce experience to owners, so expect peerless comfort and build quality,” he continued.

“However, we have consciously engineered this car to be more involving and dynamic for those owners around the world that will wish to drive it themselves,” he added.

RR4 will be powered by a brand new 6.6 litre turbo charged V12 engine unique to Rolls-Royce. The engine will be combined with a new 8-speed automatic ZF gearbox.

This new drive-train will significantly improve fuel and CO2 efficiency over the already class leading Phantom series of cars. Engine power will be upwards of 500 bhp.

Further details about RR4 will be released over the coming months, a statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
