Rolls-Royce 102EX, 2011

Rolls-Royce 102EX, also known as the Phantom Experimental Electric (EE), is an experimental Rolls-Royce car, 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 the company to gain insight into the workings of possible future electric Rolls Royce cars. One of the notable features of the 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 litre V12 petrol engine used in the Phantom. This battery system is used in conjunction 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 to test it in different conditions around the world, ended in 2012. Rolls-Royce has stated that there are no plans to create a consumer model based on the 102EX.

Glad I searched this before suggesting :D Great for 2 reasons : One, its a Rolls, which we really need to see on GT, and two, its electric, and we don't have anywhere near enough of those in the GT franchise so far. Full support - drive on Jeeves! :D
 
..........I like it, this idea of electrified Roller. I mean, a Rolls Royce is pretty darn serene cruiser, so a near silent electric motivation is exactly what the doctor ordered. Probably.
