2009 Rolls-Royce Small Sedan

Shown above is a smaller, more affordable member of the Roller family based on the next BMW 7-series. The $250,000 sedan will use a modified and possibly twin-turbocharged version of the 6.0-liter BMW V-12 rated at nearly 550 hp. According to Rolls-Royce, the company aims for holes in the market, not its competitors, and the marque intends this car to fill the sizable space between Bentley's Continental Flying Spur and the Maybach 57. R-R hopes to move 3000 examples each year when it goes on sale in 2009.
