As explained earlier in other threads ...

RR4 (baby RR) rolling around as an original-body prototype ... heavily camoed. The LWB 7er with wider track CAR magazine claims it's baby Rolls it's actually (as also explained in the other thread) a mule for Gran Turismo (new 8er).

So ... do not believe car magazines or spy photographers ... Scott & Eni are here for you ... bringing you true & fresh internal BMW info. BMW CreativeMarketing TM.

More about baby RR later by Scott ...

It was the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw the pics too. Very nice move by BMW to put the next Rolls there in the middle

The Rolls-Royce prototype has just started development on the streets of Munich so the pictures should not be as far coming. Munich is just the beginning for this car. Which it will be developed in significant world wide markets so you could see one in a street near you.

And what a great looking model - If the Phantom is the modern interpretation of Rolls-Royce then the New car is the Future interpretation of the Brand. everything is sleek and advanced with classic overtures of RR. Even the engine (Phantom remains V12) will be significant to Rolls-Royce with a advanced turbo V10 - advanced Turbo charging will be the next innovation for BMW turbo charged engines - Beginning with the new V12 for the 7er.

Drophead Coupe and Cabrio models are also destined for this platform as is The Ambitious plans for a sleek four door Coupe. That seem to be gathering speed it would be the BMW CS for the super premium luxury stratosphere.

Both V10-turbo and V12-turbo coming? Nice!

Music for my ears! Thanks!

A pillars seems pretty much identical on both cars, do they share platforms ?

[vabboud]

so basically we can expect the V12 to introduce sequential turbocharging and camless tech coupled with 14v, technologies that just like direct injection and the current V12 will trickle through the entire range before the end of the F01 lifecycle

as for the turbo V10 i am expecting detuned to aroun 7000rpm, or maybe less, and output of around 550hp
