RELEASE:
ROLLS-ROYCE
ANNOUNCES NEW COUPÉ
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has
confirmed that a series version of the two-door, four-seat
experimental car, 101EX, will be launched in 2008. Production is
scheduled to begin next summer. It will be hand-built at the
company's manufacturing plant in Goodwood, England.
This model will complete the
Phantom family line-up alongside the Phantom, Phantom Extended
Wheelbase and Phantom Drophead Coupé.
The new car will be an elegant
two-door, four-seat coupe that builds on the extraordinary driving
experience offered in the Phantom and Drophead Coupé. It will use an
all aluminium construction similar to the rest of the Phantom
family. However, it will be a unique car in the Phantom family,
designed around the desire to create the worlds' foremost
transcontinental tourer.
Outright power will be identical to
the other Phantom models – an impressive 453bhp and 720nm of torque
– however the coupé will be subtly tuned with more emphasis placed
on the driver. The body will be shorter than that of the Phantom
sedan and there will be revisions to the suspension and chassis
set-up.
Rolls-Royce Chief Designer, Ian
Cameron, said, "With this car we wanted to emphasise the performance
potential of the 6.75litre V12 engine and the effortless experience
that it delivers. Whilst never overtly sporty, Rolls-Royce is a
brand that has always offered owners a powerful and refined drive
combined with, as Sir Henry Royce described it, a bit of fizz."
Ian Robertson, Chairman and Chief
Executive, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said, "This new model represents
an important milestone in the company's history. It completes the
Phantom family and judging by the customer reaction to 101EX, we are
confident of its success. Our challenge lies in meeting the
exceptional levels of customer demand for the Phantom range and in
preparing Goodwood to meet the needs of future new cars."
The new coupé will be priced
between the Phantom and Phantom Drophead Coupé. Further information
will be released in the coming months. |
