Cheap Rolls-Royce? Is it possible?

eb1eb876bc9d9662f43089365cbbfc1c_mediumCheap Rolls-Royce. Agree, sounds wildly, even in times of crisis. However, the fact remains - the famous British company decided to release «popular» car, which will help Rolls-Royce to survive difficult times. In addition, do not think that the Rolls-Royce, even the smallest, will be really cheap. According to preliminary data, the price will be about $ 300 000.

Let me just mention that at the Geneva Motor Show Rolls-Royce has shown no production model, a concept called 200EX. But this is quite enough to bring to the stand Rolls-Royce huge amount of audience - before, when Rolls-Royce brought to the exhibition, only the standard Phantom, people were much smaller.

What is a Rolls-Royce 200EX? Compared to the Phantom is really small cars (length - 5399 mm). 200EX is shorter than its «big brother» almost half a meter! However it is necessary to put the 200EX with the BMW 7-series, all will become clear. After all, the new «Rolls» noticeably larger «G».

Compare Rolls-Royce 200EX to the BMW 7-Series is made not only because of the Bavarian company owns the brand Rolls-Royce. In a 200EX, as it turns out, is the platform of the «G»! But soon it must be said that tupogo transferring new body on an old chassis was not the case. Rolls-Royce 200EX received only 20% of elements from the BMW 7-Series. Yes, and it mainly deals with pneumatic suspension and electronics. But the engine is new. He has a formula for V12, but its volume is 6.0 liters. How much he gives, in the company of Rolls-Royce has not yet spoken. Apparently there remember the old answer of British engineers on such silly journalistic questions about the number of «horse» - formerly the British always said «cars Rolls-Royce power sufficient».

Regarding the design, it is simply amazing. Believe me, this car must be seen «live», in order to understand all of its force. It is impossible to pass by and the company «chips» the latest Rolls-Royce - the rear doors are open toward the fly movement. This is done specifically to make it easier for passengers to sit in his place.
