Rolls-Royce Just Revealed The Bonkers Vision Next 100 And We're Not Sure What To Feel

Looking like what Batman might drive in a Minority Report/DC Comics mash-up, this new concept from Rolls is certainly a distinctive thing...
Rolls-Royce Just Revealed The Bonkers Vision Next 100 And We're Not Sure What To Feel

Earlier this year BMW revealed the ultra-futuristic Vision Next 100 concept, and now subsidiary Rolls-Royce has had a crack at predicting what’s to come. It’s also called the Vision Next 100 - revealed today alongside the Mini Vision Next 100 - and it looks completely nuts.

There’s that weird pinched, depressed face, a swooping roofline and weird pod things which hold the wheels - it really is a feast for the eyes, and we’re not sure whether or not that’s a good thing.

Being a look at what’s about to come in the world of motoring, it is of course powered by an electric drivetrain (Rolls hasn’t revealed any details for exactly what kind of electric powertrain we’re looking at), and inevitably it’s also autonomous. Be warned, Parker: you might be out of the job before too long.

Naturally, since it’s autonomous, there’s no steering wheel or driver’s seat. Instead, there’s what Rolls-Royce describes as the “Grand Sanctuary”, where “our passengers step in unbowed, with consummate grace and dignity.” Quite.

The company also describes the space as having a “futuristic but handcrafted lounge atmosphere,” which is probably why a bloody great sofa has been dumped in the cabin. With no seat belts.

I think that looks better with a wider wheels without that box and make it non-autonomous. I like the look both from front and back.

I’m actually okay with it being self driving.

At least Bentley and Maybach have sane minds.

I imagine Rolls Royce could care less what we here think… None of us could afford it anyway. Lol

I’d risk the hydraulic issues and buy a 600 Grosser instead.
