New baby Rolls

[chrisfoxon]

At a private function at the Paris Motor Show yesterday evening, Ian Robertson, Chairman and Chief Executive of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, confirmed that work has begun on a new model series. It will be launched within the next four years. The new car will be smaller than the Phantom (pictured) and cost between 200,000 Euros and 300,000 Euros before tax. Planning permission has been granted to expand business operations at Goodwood. Further details will be announced in the near future.

How on earth can they give such a broad price prediction?

Thats between £160,000 and £235,000 (inc VAT) - quite a wide scope there!!!

And if it goes to the £235,000 end, isn't that a bit close to the Phantom price?

New model series.....From that I take it that there will be several(probably 2 or 3) variants hence the price range. Take a look at something like the Range Rover sport and there is around £25k difference between models so % wise it's about right. I would expect to see a Coupe, Saloon and Cabriolet......And the way things are going in the car market I would not be suprised to see an MPV, Station Wagon and a 4x4!!!
