Will Rolls-Royce Make An Electric Phantom?
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Green
It looks very likely that in the near future Rolls fans will have the option of owning an all-electric version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Tom Purves, the Rolls-Royce CEO, has revealed that he'd not only like to build an electric Phantom but thinks it would fit in perfectly with what a lot of Rolls customers are looking for. Thanks to the technology used in the new BMW Mini-E the hard part of developing an electric engine that measures up is already done -- it's really just about refinement and tweaking a few technology details.
No word yet on when an electric Phantom can be expected but it sounds like it could be as soon as the next few years.
