Just like we told you before the 2009 Geneva Auto Show, Rolls-Royce is currently working on the production version of 200EX, the concept that was first unveiled to the general public during this event. Although many of the details that surfaced ahead of the show are actually true, the luxury car manufacturer today unveiled the first official specs of the so-called RR4 production model.
Awkwardly, Rolls-Royce says the production version of the car is the result of an impressive amount of positive feedback received after the Swiss show, despite the media reports published prior to the event which confirmed the RR4.
“There has been a great deal of interest in this car since we first talked about producing a new model series in the autumn of 2006 and the reaction 200EX received at its unveiling at Geneva was very positive. As we move another step closer to the start of production at Goodwood, it is exciting to be able to share some of the specific technical details with customers and the media.”
Getting to more technical stuff, the RR4 will be powered by a newly-developed 6.6-liter turbocharged V12 engine mated to an 8-speed automatic ZF gearbox. Obviously, the engine will be particularly interested in fuel economy and CO2 emissions, while overall output goes as much as 500 bhp.
"RR4 will deliver an authentic Rolls-Royce experience to owners, so expect peerless comfort and build quality. However, we have consciously engineered this car to be more involving and dynamic for those owners around the world that will wish to drive it themselves," he said.
