Rolls Royce 200EX concept

Rolls will be showing this 200EX concept car at Geneva but it’s pretty much a production car.

It’s a Rolls for the masses – or the masses that have around £170k to spend. Still, it’s cheaper than the Phantom. Shorter and smaller, too.

The four-door 200EX uses many components from the new BMW 7-Series including its front and rear crash structures and unlike the Phantom it will be made of steel instead of aluminium.

Power comes from a V12 engine. The most interesting feature is the rear hinged doors, as used on the Phantom.
