Rolls-Royce RR4 baby Rolls spied
October 16, 2008 by George Skentzos
These exclusive spy shots provide our first clear look at the upcoming baby Rolls-Royce RR4 which will take its position as the new entry-level model for the ultra-luxury marquee.
The CEO of Rolls-Royce Ian Robertson has said the introduction of this new model would see the brand’s annual production double to 1600 units.
Robertson’s only description of the new baby Rolls to reporters at last year’s Geneva Motor Show was that it would be “unmistakably a Rolls-Royce”.
This is certainly the case, with the camouflaged model in these images boasting the chiselled lines of the Phantom saloon.
To reduce development costs and save time, Rolls-Royce engineers will use many electronic components from BMW’s long wheelbase 7-Series.
However its engine will be completely unique to Rolls-Royce and “will have the attributes and behaviour of a Rolls-Royce” said Robertson.
Print it: 
With all that camo, it looks like a crappy Rover 75 or something.
Would you take a baby Roller or a 4 door Aston?
Exactly my thoughts…a rebadged Rover 75 (probably still with the piped leather and baby-turd interior)
Even further dilution of the RR brand. Coming to a woolies carpark near you.
Why don’t bmw just get a i30 and use all the parts bins stuff from that. At least when korea buys RR from bmw all the hard work will be done……………..
Just to say, people do realise that RR dont have ANYTHING to do with Rover, dont they? It does look a little bit like a 75 with the camo. but it wont when its done. I think this will just be a car that says “Nope, sorry, I just cant afford a Phantom right now.”
The unanswerable question is – Why????
