Official sketches of Rolls Royce RR4 sedan

May 28, 2008 by Paul Maric  




A $250,000-300,000 Rolls Royce? According to rumours from within, the next Rolls Royce – the RR4 sedan – set to be released late next year could be the most affordable Rolls Royce ever built, targeting a segment the luxury marque has never ventured into.

A second assembly line, along with new wood, leather and paint shops are currently being configured at the Goodwood plant. The new model is set to double Rolls Royce’s yearly production to 800 units per year once the RR4 sedan is released.

The RR4 sedan is expected to be smaller than the current Phantom and will feature a new engine. Some sources suggest the RR4 sedan will share many components with the new BMW 7-series, but the engine, along with the platform will be unique to the new Rolls Royce.

    Pretty sure the rich still enjoy WINDOWS in their luxury sedans…lol

    The funny guy’s right, and it’s true that these styling sketches will translate into something that’s actually practical, but the proportions are fantastic.

    I dont think this is a good thing. I like the fact that I see 2 or 3 Rolls Royces a day if that. BMWs used to be prestigous and rare now I see more 3 series than Mondeos on the road! Rolls Royce are rare and I dont think that they should be in BMW 7 series price range because the only people that will buy them are wanker business executives. And of course youll look pathetic when a Phantom pulls up next to you at the lights…

    Does/or will this mean this will effect the Rolls Royce brand as it used to be the 1 million dollar land yacht?

    Is Rolls Royce trying to look for better ways of selling more cars which means more money, are they in strife?

  5. Chucky says:

    $250k-$300k for a Rolls Royce? Keep dreaming! With only 400 of these babies to be produced each year Im guessing it would be priced closer to the Bentley Continental which is in the high $300ks.

    What not a big gaudy square box anymore?

  7. o says:

    hmm with all the tax added on i can see it at about 500k

  8. acfsambo says:

    Alex, u see 2-3 every day, im lucky to see one at all, ever.

    Looks like a Matchbox version of a Rolls.

    major hack of thread.. but Aussie Top Gear presenters have been finalized.. POST it up already!! :D

    I live in central London. There are alot more here. Also, I have heard prices more along the line of 250,000 POUNDS not dollars. I think it must be a bit less than that because a Phantom is about 260,000 pounds but it wont be far off. With import, that will be about 7 – 800k for you guys on the road. Also, I have since heard that it will be more driver orientated so im now not as fussed. Might start saving actually! I actually think that the Phantom is a bit boring looking! Fantastic car and great to be driven around in but a bit boring to look at. It does have ALOT of presence though. This one will look better I think.
