ROLLS-ROYCE 100EX

(Redirected from Rolls-Royce 101EX)

The 'Rolls-Royce 100 EX' (EX stands for experimental model) has:

★ 9.0 litre V16 engine

★ 6 Speed automatic transmission

★ Dimensions: Height 1561 mm, Width 1990 mm and Length 5669 mm
The car was produced to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the meeting of businessman Charles Rolls and engineer Frederick Henry Royce. The figures speak for themselves but to get a better idea of the size of the car the solid silver Spirit of Ecstasy is seven feet (2.1 m) from the driver. The engine outputs are not stated by the company but the motoring press estimate about 700 bhp (520 kW) and 700 ft-lbs (950 Nm) of torque are close to the actual figures. Rolls-Royce originally said they wouldn't produce the car, but they've apparently changed their minds, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé made its debut in January of 2007.

In 2006 the 101 EX, a Grand Touring coupé prototype based on the 100EX, was presented at the Geneva International Auto Show.
The 101EX shares its aluminium space frame chassis technology with the Phantom, albeit in a shortened version. The car is 9.5 inches shorter than the Phantom sedan, with a lower roofline and shallower glass area. Power comes from the Phantom's 6.75-litre V12 engine.
