 INTRODUCTION.
The Rolls-Royce 102EX, also known as the Phantom Experimental Electric (EE), is a one-off electric prototype version of the Rolls -Royce Phantom Vll. It was created by Rolls-Royce to gauge the response of customers and other stakeholders to an electric Rolls-Royce. The 102EX was unveiled in 2011.


SPECIFICATION

The 102EX is powered by two synchronous permanent-magnet electric motors mounted on the rear sub-frame. Each of these motors are power rated to 145 kW for a maximum system output of 290 kW (389 hp). Maximum torque output is 800 N⋅m (590 lb-ft). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels by a 1-speed Xtrac transmission with integrated differential.
 These cells are placed in the space occupied by a standard Phantom's engine and gearbox. Peak battery current is 850 amperes delivered at 338 volts (DC). The cells were manufactured by which Scottish firm assembled into a battery pack. Electric drivetrain integration was carried out by lotus engineering.
The battery pack is charged by 3 separate 3 kW charger units which allow for a minimum charging time of approximately 8 hours. Alternatively, the Phantom is also fitted with an induction charger which allows the car to be charged wirelessly.
The 102EX is differentiated from series production Phantoms visually. It is painted in "Atlantic Chrome" silver which uses ceramic nano-particles to increase the reflectivity of the paint. It is fitted with red "double-R" badges, which Rolls-Royce uses to denote its experimental vehicles. The Spirit of Ecstasy is made of Makrolon polycarbonate and is illuminated by blue LED light. The fuel filler cap features a glass window, allowing one to see the five-pin socket used to charge the 102EX. The interior and luggage compartment use "Corinova" leather. This is a type of leather that is vegetable tanned, as opposed to chrome-tanned like ordinary Phantom leather.

RECEPTION

The Phantom was well-received by automotive journalists. Reviewers praised the exceptional refinement afforded by the 102EX's quiet powertrain, while some also felt that ride quality had been improved over the standard Phantom.
Rolls-Royce revealed in 2012 that customer reaction to the 102EX had been lukewarm. While the 102EX's refinement had been praised, customers took issue with the car's limited range and long charging times. Some also felt that the absence of a V12 detracted from the car's specialness.

INTERIOR SPECIFICATION
Still considered an "experimental" car this Rolls, with the clear light-up hood ornament, is designed with high-end luxury in mind as well as sustainable features. Although it was created as a green alternative to the gas-guzzling Phantom, it's being shelved since it's unveiling in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show due to some major performance kinks that still need to work out. The main issue is its weight, coming in several hundred pounds heavier than the Phantom. It's also in need of some efficiency tweaks - with a 290 kW lithium-ion battery and two rear electric motors, the driving range is just over 100 miles before it's in need of an 8-hour charge-up. If these minor technicalities can be hammered out, there's no doubt the old-world glamour-meets-new school cool will surely become a persuasive purchase for sustainable-minded high rollers.
PRICE .
The Rolls-Royce 102 Ex price at rs 11,41,36,000.00Indian Rupee, 1.6 million USD.
