THE ROLLS-ROYCE FROM THE FUTURE
  • Revealed in 2016 as a vision of 2035
  • Fully electric with autonomous driving
  • Where luxury meets modern technology

The Rolls-Royce Vision 103EX is a concept car created to show what luxury travel could look like in the future. At 5.9 meters long, it has a huge presence, with 28-inch wheels, a glass canopy, and a striking futuristic shape.

NO DRIVER NEEDED The 103EX was designed as a fully autonomous car, so there is no steering wheel or traditional driver's seat. Instead, passengers sit on a large sofa-style seat surrounded by luxury materials such as wool, silk, and wood.

Its AI assistant, called Eleanor, was imagined as a digital chauffeur that could plan journeys, managed appointments and provide information during a trip.

ELECTRIC FUTURE While many brands seem to reject electric cars, the British marque seems to be embracing them. They argue that electric vehicles offer greater comfort and produce less noise, making for a more enjoyable luxury experience. Much of the 103EX's technology later manifested itself in the Spectre, their first fully electric car.

Ten years on, the Vision 103EX remains one of the coolest Rolls-Royce vehicles ever produced.
