A truly electric experience
in a blue moon, you experience something so astonishing, so beguiling that it makes you question your senses.say they have no plans to put this most luxurious beast into production. But privately sources say that if the elite club of Rolls Royce owners see this as the future, then, who knows what might happenThey know owners are not particularly interested in proving their green credentials but they want to know that the marque has a future and this is Rolls proving they are thinking of alternatives to our very own black gold.
Under the bonnet, they have stripped out the engine and six-speed gearbox and slotted in the largest battery pack ever squeezed into a car lithium-ion pouch cells feeding two electric motors.Yes, you can plug it into the mains via a socket where the petrol filler cap would normally be but should RR ever commercially produce this, you rich types out there will no doubt prefer the Induction Charging Pack. Put simply, it a charging plate laid on the heated floor of your luxurious, tiled garage which automatically charges the Phantom via a receiver pad mounted on the underside of the car when you drive over the plate. Ingenious, simple and stylish.But on the other hand if you do have a fair bit more lawn mower to mow or if you need to do it every weekend you're going to need to get a better machine.But on the other hand if you do have a fair bit more lawn mower to mow or if you need to do it every weekend you're going to need to get a better machine.Many men still find it difficult to talk to their doctors openly about sexual problems, and of course for many other chinese sex You can imagine this clever charging system being picked up by the world big hotels, such as Hong Kong Peninsula, to impress its guests.
Inside the vehicle, the carpets have been stripped out to give it a Chestnut leather look in the footwell but it still boasts the most sumptuous leather armchairs to sink into. Its unique paint job, described as Atlantic Chrome, is layers of nano-sized particles. It is a beautiful vehicle. No expense is spared, with the normal silver Spirit of Ecstasy replaced with a polycarbonate version that glows a wonderful blue courtesyMany of those who acquire a Phantom would never dream of driving it preferring the view from the rear seat. But this is a driver car and I wasn't going to miss the chance of getting behind the wheel of the most expensive car I am ever likely to get my hands on.
I have to say I have never really been won over by the prospect of an electric car. The power still has to come from somewhere and, ostensibly, that still means coal, oil or gas at present. But this exercise in ingenious engineering had me drooling. It was fantastic to drive; although its sheer size had me perspiring with nervous energy. There is a gentle hum once you accelerate away but it is almost ghost-like in its silence. It is a beautiful creation.The only quibble while driving was the need to depress the handbrake, before poking the accelerator to get over the lag when starting on an incline. But that minor niggle is something the engineers at Rolls already have their eyes on. The mile limit before you need to give the batteries a rest is never likely to be a deal breaker for Rolls, because the average driver would never dream of going that far in it on any given run.
