The Rolls Royce 200EX that you see above was supposed to be revealed for the first time two weeks from now at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, but thanks to the London-based Telegraph we are able to show you the full car. As we mentioned early today, the new baby Rolls is based off of the newly released fifth-generation BMW 7-Series but will carry slightly larger dimensions all around, though its still smaller than the Phantom by 18 inches. Rather than utilizing the 6.75 liter V12 from the Phantom, the Rolls Royce 200EX will feature an all-new 6.0 liter V12 that shares its architecture with the 4.4 liter turbocharged, direct-injected V8 from the 750i.


The Rolls Royce 200EX previews the upcoming as-yet unnamed baby Rolls that will make its debut later this year at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Bentley Flying Spur buyers probably

but then again these r small grp..
if they spend millions to creat "baby" it should be cost-low for 7 or S80 guys to consider..maybe S$300~400k level...mm-sa-mm-sei level..

but Rolls is always a Rolls...I recall i saw a documentary many years back..someone put a coin on top of bonnet with both coin faces standing up...a coin didnt move/drop back!
who can beat that?:yikess:

200EX sound like 2000cc - but RR hard to believe driver is owner.

i think the option list will cost more than an S80. Target group is probably bentley drivers. Since phantom >$1.5million, they just need to sell this at anything between 800k-1m to qualify it as 'baby'. Will definitely cost much more than the upcoming 760Li so as to protect the exclusiveness of RR.

if they ever were stupid enough to price it at 300-400K and go near S-class/7series/S80..they can be prepared to kiss a huge chunk of their phantom buyers goodbye..!!!

it makes absolutely no sense at all to dilute the exclusivity so dramatically, im pretty sure they will price it around the conti gt/flying spur level, and then perhaps add a 15% premium in (list)price.
