Rolls-Royce 102EX
Encyclopedia
Rolls Royce 102EX; is an experimental Rolls Royce. Primarily designed to spark debate about whether luxury car manufacturers could and should provide cars which use electric, or other alternate drive-train technologies. Its secondary function is to allow Rolls Royce to gain insight into the workings of possible future electric Rolls Royce cars.
One of the notable features of the Rolls Royce 102EX is that the figurine on the hood is clear and lights up.
The Rolls Royce 102EX uses a 96 cell lithium-ion battery instead of the 6.75 liter V12 petrol engine used in the Phantom. This battery system is used in conjucntion with two water-cooled motors and 3-phase battery chargers. In contrast, the interior design is largely the same as that used in the current Phantom model. A twelve month world tour to show off the car and test it in different conditions around the world, will terminate in 2012. Rolls-Royce have stated that there are no plans to create a consumer model based on the 102EX at this time.
