Uber luxury, The Rolls Royce RR4 Spied in Munich





Rolls Royce RR4 “Baby Phantom Spy Photos”
Our spy in Germany was cruising in Munich when his camera came across one serious prototype test car: the “Baby Rolls Royce Phantom.” These are the latest snapshots of the blacked out and camouflaged baby Rolls. Codenamed the RR4, it is sure to be the hottest luxury vehicle to hit the streets. Imagine the current Rolls Royce Phantom and then shrink it down to size and you have the new Rolls “RR4.” Actual dimensions of the new vehicle are unknown at this point.

Lets be clear though that there is nothing baby about the price of this vehicle as it is speculated to be priced between the yet to be released, redesigned BMW 7 Series and the Rolls Royce Phantom. Edmunds.com has noted that the price will come in between $250,000 and $280,000 via information given out by Rolls Royce executives. There is still not much information out there on this new Rolls but we have heard that its platform will be based on the new 7 Series that is currently in development. In that price range you can expect the Rolls Royce to be in direct competition with the Bentley Continental Flying Spur. Speculation in regards to engine details points to the possible dropping of the twin turbo V8 being launched in the upcoming BMW X6. We are not sure what we are more excited for, the new BMW 7er or this RR4.

Rolls-Royce is currently developing a new entry-level model for launch in 2010, which is expected to double the number of vehicles built by the ultra-luxury carmaker each year. The new car carries the internal name ‘RR4’ and has been spotted testing both in the UK and Germany.

Former Rolls-Royce CEO Ian Robertson has previously mentioned the carmaker would add a second shift to its Goodwood, UK, plant to build the new car and that up to 800 units per year would be built. Last year, RR sold 805 cars world-wide, so the new model would effectively double the luxury carmaker’s sales.

RR4 will share much in common with parent company BMW’s long-wheelbase 7-series and will be roughly the same size as the German limo. However, the platform and engine for the car would be unique to Rolls-Royce. Most of the shared parts will include various electronic components but the car will have the attributes and behavior of a Rolls-Royce.

The heavy camouflage hides most of the details about the car’s styling but we do get a good sense of the its proportions on the road. As expected it will feature a long hood and short rear decklid like its big brother – the Phantom saloon. The rendering give us a glimpse at a possible design for the new baby Rolls and shows that designers will likely stick with the chiseled looks of the Phantom as well.

RR4 is tipped to enter production late next year and final pricing should fall between $250,000 and $300,000.

the funny thing is that it doesn't take a phd in nuclear physics to see that the RR4 has suicide rear doors, yet all photoshops indicate otherwise!

What a blunder eh!

This car just looks stunning in proportions in the spyshots. Everything looks harmonically designed. Can't wait to see finished product.

As with all Royce Royces to me, It is the interior that I am most looking forward to. I wonder if they will go ultra modern or stay classical?!?
