TV comedian and car aficionado Jay Leno took Jeremy Hart of TopGear for an exclusive drive in the one-off V16 Rolls-Royce 100EX. The concept car is the basis for the forthcoming Phantom convertible, which was confirmed during a press conference at the Detroit auto show in January. Apparently, no one outside BMW — the parent company of Rolls — has driven the 100EX, until now. Even rapper 50 Cent is anxious for a production version of the car. Apparently he is still seriously thinking of lopping the top off his Phantom — as some customizers have already done — in order to get a drop-top Rolls ahead of the curve.
