Some cars leave a paper trail; the Rolls-Royce 102EX left a name, a year — 2011 — and a place in Rolls-Royce's list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it.
The story
The Rolls-Royce 102EX, also known as the Phantom Experimental Electric (EE), is a one-off electric prototype version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII. It was created by Rolls-Royce to gauge the response of customers and other stakeholders to an electric Rolls-Royce. The 102EX was unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.
Its place in the line
On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Lamborghini Aventador, the Mazda CX-5, the Nissan Leaf. Nearby in the Rolls-Royce catalogue sit the Rolls-Royce 100EX and the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé.
