BMW Group and Rolls-Royce have brought the new “baby-Rolls” at the Geneva Auto Show. The concept, named EX200, was unveiled less than two weeks ago and it was expected to make its world debut in Geneva.
The new Rolls-Royce EX200 shares the same platform with the new 7 Series and it imports some design elements from Phantom and Drophead Coupe, but fit into a shorter wheelbase. The EX200 has a very modern, round design and people that saw the car yesterday were impressed by how much smaller and sportier it really is.
Of course, it is still larger than most luxury sedans, at 212.6 inches long, 83 inches wide and 61 inches tall. To sweeten the deal -if you can call it this way- the Rolls-Royce EX200 will be powered by a V12 engine not seen before on any BMW Group product.
If you’re worried about the naming convention, you can breathe now, as with the previous models, when the 200EX enters production, it will lose the traditional Concept name tag in favor of something like Silver Cloud.
Pricing? Still unknown, but do expect to pay an arm and a leg for such a luxurious ride.

I just love what BMW has done with the RR brand. Their cars have become real, well-engineered machines, when previously they were hardly much more than tarted up ’60s clunker with a six-figure price tag.
The EX200 is an exquisite car. If I could write a blank check for my daily sedan, it would be between this car and the Lambo Estoque.
Wow!! Excellent appearence, this car is an output of real well engineered machines with all luxury tucked in. This car really tempts me.. but now I am not finacially sound,If anybody wishes to buy a gift for me I will go with this car
Anybody there…..???
Very nice.
Love it, I totally dig the whole RR line-up! Especially the coupe, I’d have mine with the brushed ali bonnet and pillars!
First time I saw a Phantom was at the Goodwood festival of speed, tanking down the hill at speed (yes I mean down, and I mean speed!)
who ever came up with this silver bonnet should get fired
@bmwe34: I think you can get a carbon one aftermarket, if you like
Also, I’m not sure what was meant about the v12 “not seen before on any BMW Group product”. The 850, 750/760s have had v12s, and RR has previously used BMW v12s. Afaik.
@Doug: The engine used in the 200 is not one that is used in a BMW brand product, but yes you are obviously right BMW have used V12’s before
@Doug: It’s a brand new engine, 80% of it at least. Sorry I didn’t mention it again, I wrote that in a previous article.
nice design
@Horatiu B.: Ok. I thought I had you on a technicality!!
Of course, that begs the question of why they would develop a new V12 considering 1) the production quantity will be so low, thus expensive 2) many other suitable alternatives exist 3) BMW’s aim to reduce cylinder count and increase efficiency on *all* cars. I thought that the V12 was gone for good at BMW.
It will the same engine that the 760 is going to have??
