Thumbs up Codename RR04

well I recently went down to Newport European Motorcars Ltd. and I interviewed the General manager of Rolls Royce down there and during the coarse of the interview he had told me about the Rolls Royce codename RR04

and all he could tell me was:

it will have the coach doors (suicide doors)

it will be here in 2010 with a debut at the Geniva autoshow

and it will have a twin turbocharged V12


I find myself to be honored to be told about "top secret" projects.

You talking about this one?
2010 Rolls-Royce RR4 Features and Specs

There is quite a lot out about the car. Hard to get a real good idea of how the car looks from the photos of the test car but in the photo above it looks a lot like the Chrysler 300 with a higher roof line.

Like I said there is a lot out on the internet about it, google it! That is just a pic I ran across of the test mule. I can use photoshop and move the door handle to the front of the rear door on that photo if that would help.

It will look a lot better once the rear door handle is moved to the front of the door.
