Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has confirmed further details about the production version of 200EX, the luxury concept car shown at this year’s Geneva motor show.

200EX is on world tour and currently in New York being shown to potential customers.

Rolls-Royce CEO, Tom Purves announced more details about the 200EX at a press conference in New York.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Purves said, “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.”

He also added that production model will deliver an authentic Rolls-Royce experience to owners, so expect peerless comfort and build quality. It is also more involving and dynamic for those owners who wish to drive it themselves.

RR4/200EX will be powered by a brand new 6.6-liter turbocharged V12 engine that develops 500 + horsepower. The engine will be combined with an 8-speed automatic ZF gearbox. This new drive-train will significantly improve fuel and CO2 efficiency over the already class leading Phantom series of cars.

Production version of the 200EX will very likely be called Silver Ghost and will also come as a coupe and cabrio.

More details will be released over the coming months. Stay tuned!
