Britain's AutoCar spies Rolls-Royce's RR4 prototype

rolls

This is one of the first full-bodied prototypes for the car known internally at Rolls-Royce as ‘RR4,' according to British car mag AutoCar. The smaller saloon is due to go on sale in 2010.

Our spies have exposed the new smallest Rolls-Royce in its entirety for the first time.

These shots, snapped recently in Munich, show how faithfully the new car will adopt the Phantom’s design language (reference the car’s thick C-pillar and suicide rear doors).

However, it’s also significantly lower and shorter than a Phantom, has a shorter bonnet, and a much less upright grille, than its bigger sibling.
