The Rolls Royce 100EX convertible hasn’t even entered production yet, and already is sold out for the first two years, according to a report by AutoTelegraaf. According to the report, the first trial production run at Goodwood went perfectly to plan. The first 100EX convertibles are expected to roll off the line in the middle of next year. (Pictured right in Jay Leno riding in the 100EX prototype).

What an obnoxious car. I’m a RR and B fan, but not one much for their ragtops. V16? Thats crazy! Will the production version have that engine? and will it be shared with any other car?

Is it just me, or does Jay Leno’s body look really tiny in that car? The thing must be the size of a greyhound bus.

The proportions struck me too kelly.
Leno will buy one to disguise the size of his chin!

The Beverly Hills Police Department has already been put on alert. Zsa Zsa Gabor may be in line to buy one already and we want to be prepared.

OK heres more envious comments on rich people. Most of the rich people were smart straight A students who didnt enjoy themselves as much in school as the other students who werent very smart but popular. Thier hard work paid off, so now they have every right to enjoy the money they worked so hard for.

I like this muscle-bound car… I wonder why other automaker make minute cars for poor people so that they have more of a chance of dying in an accident as oppose to the affluent person with the muscle-bound car…

All cars on the road should be this size…

You’re an idiot Maj. The only safety advantage huge cars have are when they collide with smaller cars. If all cars were the same size and weight as that thing, there would be no safety advantage, and there would be more accidents because heavier cars don’t handle or brake as well, making it less likely that people will be able to avoid an accident. And let’s not forget the massive increase in fuel consumption that would ensue.

X is right, Maj you are an idiot. Plus, the fact that an 8.0-liter V16 is going to suck up a huge amount of gas is also detrimental to the environment.

Well, Patrick, seeing as I live in an area where I tend to see at least one Bentley everyday, at least one RR every week, and the most common cars on the road are MB’s, BMW’s, Lexus’, Audi’s and the like, I have more than enough experience as to which cars tend to be used everyday and which don’t. And trust me, there are people that use their Bentley’s / RR’s / Ferrari’s, etc… everyday.

Regarding my age, I am old enough to know that properly speaking to others without pointlessly degrading others is a basic necessity of a proper education, something which does not always that goes hand in hand with the amount of money you posses.

Wickedated,

The problem isn’t the price of gas; it’s the amount of gas an 8-liter V16 engine uses.
