The fuel consumption of the Rolls Royce Phantom is pegged at 15 miles for every gallon and these numbers just don't mix if you want to have a green car with low carbon emissions. Well this could change as the luxury carmaker plans to launch an electric limousine back. That's right. With nada, zilch, zero emissions.
Rumors have been circulating for the past few years that Rolls Royce is working on an electric model and recently, the car company has announced plans of testing an electric limo.
The super green Rolls Royce will be rolled out in time for next year's Olympics where BMW is ready to showcase its green technology to the whole world. Sports events are the perfect marketing location for the Rolls Royce electric car that will be used to transport thousands of VIPs to various locations.
Insiders admit that they are considering the plan but make it clear that Rolls Royce is looking at all options and is not in a rush to create a green car for the brand. The parent company, BMW has already produced the MINI-E which can be recycled.
Rolls Royce had a jump of 171% in sales in 2010. The big jump is because women will get smaller models. America remains Rolls Royce's largest market followed by China and Great Britain.
