'''ROLLS-ROYCE : 

THE MOST LEGENDARY-CAR MARQUE!!!'''

When Rolls met Royce in 1904, the two men agreed that their cars ''should be like no other''

For its centenary year, Rolls-Royce could have rested on its fantastic laurels. Instead the company set about building a work of art, rather a true legend for the future.


BMW, fresh and brimming with cash, after recreating Britain's best loved car, the Mini, set about doing its very best, for its best-loved big car, the Rolls-Royce.


When the massive new Phantom eased onto the streets, its Panzerish proportions and giantneo-classical grille, re-established Rolls-Royce as the luxury motoring Icon.
Without a murmur or a doubt, Rolls-Royce will rule the posh side of the street.


BMW asked the Phantom's exterior designer. Marek Djordjevic to come up with an ultra modern convertible. The 100EX -named in accordance with Roll's proud history of experimental cars -is one off concept.
Djordjevic cast off the formality of the Phantom in favour of a sporty, contemporary aesthetic. The grille curves gently back into the bonnet. The wraparound LED and xenon headlamps are 1, Robot-modern. From the sides, the lines are high and muscular while the undercut scoopshard into the flank, creating a shark like profile.


In the cabin, the Phantom's walnut and cream leather is replaced by purple black calfskin, offset with burnt-orange inserts. An aircraft style ring of brushed aluminum runs from the giant windscreen surround to the rear, and the fascia is topped off with titanium. But the interior still retains the traditional Rolls romance.


It may look radical bur the 100EX, which took £4million to build retains the technical excellence and craftsmanship that earned the Rolls-Royce its reputation as the finest car maker in the world!
Just imagine that the windscreen surround is milled out of a single 2.5 tonne block of aluminium alloy, while the top of the swooping bonnet is brushed by a single craftsman for almost a month until it is thread-perfect.


Beneath the hood, the 64 valve, nine-liter V16 engine delivers 0 to 60mph in around five seconds. The overall result is a remarkable blend of craftsmanship, romance, performance and grace. I must also mention that this is the actual triumph of a few men and women doing the best engineering and design job they can!
Rolls-Royce 100EX is one beauty to behold! Probably the finest car ever to bear the Spirit ofEcstasy mascot, and, therefore, the best luxury car ever!!


With respectful dedication to all the Car lovers of the world!

Good Night & God Bless!
