Rolls-Royce is set to reveal the 200EX concept at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The design study is a preview of a new car, codenamed RR4, first seen in sketch form in May last year. Smaller than the Phantom but larger than a 7 Series, the 200EX measures 5399mm in length, 1948mm wide, 1550mm tall and rides on a 3295mm-long wheelbase.
The exterior design - said to be "alluring, inviting, approachable," according to Rolls-Royce chief designer, Ian Cameron - is dominated by large surfaces, while sculpted horizontal l
ines add definition. In combination, the upward-sweeping sill line and low roof create a dynamic profile. The high shoulder line and flanks draw in to the tapered rear, narrowing as they flow from the rear fenders to the taillamps.
Access to the contemporary interior, by designer Alan Sheppard, is granted via rear-hinged coach doors as on the larger Phantom. It is finished in natural grain cr�me-colored leather, with cornsilk carpets and a cashmere blend headliner. Wood veneer features prominently on the IP, center console and doors. In the rear, 
the position of the 'lounge seat' behind the C-pillars emphasizes the intimate ambience.
