Rolls Royce has really mastered a royal majestic presence in their designs.
This is something Maybach has yet to master. This car is very much fit for a King The Phantom has the same presence. I honestly don`t think we can say that about the Maybach. A Maybach coupe might be a little different but as I said before the Maybach design theme is a little too trendy.

trendiness grows old, it`s only a matter of time. Theres nothing trendy about this Rolls coupe. This design will look good 50 years from now.

This is an awesome shot!!

That is a very good point GTA7.5...and you are of course absolutely correct.

It will be interesting to see how the production model looks - that polished aluminium will not be on the production vehicle...I'm sure about that, it is just too impractical.

I really do believe Rolls will produce this car even though thay say there are no plans. It`s just like the Corniche with a hardtop. I agree the aluminum won`t make production. I`ll bet thats where the two-tone paint scheme
will come in. That would still look awesome!

It's a shame this is only a concept/experimental vehicle. I really would have loved it if that polished aluminium made into production because it so beautifully and elegantly blends the characteristic Rolls Royce grille with the rest of the car.
The key characteristic and the one of the main reasons why the RR Phantom has so much presence is because of that big, shinny and in-your-face grille. It's amazing how the 100/101EX attain the same level of presence without having that big grille standing out like the Phantom. It's more the whole package. The size of the car ofcourse, but its stance is elegance personified...and the interior...well, it's superb in every aspect. There may be those who aren't big fans of the old-school interior of the Phantom, but the quality, craftsmanship and the execution of RR's interior design philosophy is just impeccable.

Just two little things though. Those wheels, they look identical to stock rims on the Bentley CGT...and the exhaust tips looks very MM 57S. Other than that, everything here is characteristicly Rolls-Royce. Elegant, Exquisite, Enchanting..and Everlasting.

Stunning.

I am interested in that roof of the 101EX ...they way it is connected to the A-pillar is designed like a retractable roof -- this makes me wonder of the possibility that the new Corniche might have a hard-top like the new BMW 3er Cabriolet -- just a thought.
