Ultra luxury car maker Rolls-Royce have released the first official sketches of their new car - the RR4 sedan - despite the fact that the entry-level sedan won't be seen in showrooms until 2010 at the very earliest.
According to the press release, the RR4 will be smaller than the Phantom saloon and with power coming from a new engine unique to Rolls-Royce. The sketches reveal the styling of the RR4 will be in-line with the long bonnet and high-waistline design of the Phantom range.
The engineering development for the RR4 is now fully underway with the Goodwood manufacturing facilities completely undergoing reconfiguration to accommodate the production of the new sedan.
Chief designer, Ian Cameron, said:"Effortless performance and standard-setting levels of comfort and efficiency, executed with the utmost care and attention, remain fundamentals of Rolls-Royce design. The RR4 has a more informal presence than the Phantom models with a greater emphasis on driving. In design terms this is expressed through its slightly smaller dimensions and more organic form, yet with powerful, purposeful proportions. It is a true and uncompromising Rolls-Royce in every sense."
Further design and engineering details will be revealed over the course of 2009. With the release of the entry-level RR4, owning a Rolls-Royce may never have been this 'affordable'.
