Rolls Royce Motors Ltd unveiled its experimental car the 200EX at the
Geneva Motor Show on 03.03.09.The exterior has interrupted surfaces.
Due for production in 2010, the exterior is dominated by
large, uninterrupted surfaces, while finely sculptured horizontal lines add
definition and geometric precision. At the front, a pair of LED headlamps flank
the latest evolution of the world’s most famous grille. The exterior is
finished in Darkest Tungsten, which contrasts with the silver satin finish
applied to the bonnet and A pillar. Seven spoke, 20 inch wheels complete the
visual impact of the exterior.
The dash which is spacious in design, has been kept
deliberately clear. Controls are neatly sculpted with important functions emphasized
by accents of chrome.The soft light of he instrument panel glows through the
familiar black rimmed steering wheel, which itsef incorporates a number of
violin keys as well as ergonomic roller-ball control.
Natural grain crème-light leather with Cornsilk carpets and cashmere blend
headliner are used for interior finish.The featured wood veneer is Santos
Palissander, chosen for the contemporary look and striking grain.
Substantial doors and a high shoulder line ensure that
occupants feel cosseted and protected. At the rear, the intimate ambience of
the lounge seat is emphasized by its position behind the C - pillar, heightening
the sense of privacy.

expression broaden the appeal of the car, making it more appropriate
for a wider range of circumstances.
"200EX is a touring saloon with more than
a little panache and perhaps more bravado than one might have expected
from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars," said chief designer Ian Cameron.
"What you see is a modern car that is
immediately recognisable as a true Rolls-Royce, even from angles that
obscure the grille and Spirit of Ecstasy.
"Design elements such as the
elevated prow, long bonnet, short front overhang, sharply raked
A-pillar and elegant tail give 200EX an air of informal presence -
powerful but unobtrusive."e exterior design is dominated
