I had the chance to sit in a couple of prototypes while I was working at BMW and can honestly say that it felt like a sensory deprivation tank inside. Amazing vehicle!

[@Cloxxki]

Curious that they go for 23 inch wheels. Doesn't that make the tire sidewalls uncessarily low profile, creating sound? It doesn't seem to be an issue with the way they isolate the cabin, but the drivetrain gets it further with taller sidewalls as well.

[@pumpuppthevolume]

@@Cloxxki will they offer it just with 23 inch wheels ....also the 23 might have foam inside or whateve else reducing the sound

[@Mike-1000]

@@Cloxxki Tyres are lined with the finest feathers from the rarest birds in the world.

[@creyetivemedia]

I was thinking it may be like a sensory deprivation capsule. Could you hear your heartbeats?

[@FirestormX9]

@@creyetivemedia No, they legally cannot make it that silent. There has to be at least some sound permeation into the cabin for horns, sirens and such. That is why it is more difficult for them to engineer it like that.

[@budja1501]

Electrification and Rolls-Royce is just a match made in heaven on so many levels for the company. Don't get me wrong, nothing will ever really be able to replace a V12, but Rolls is one company in particular that just so happens to have a skillset that aligns with EVs.

[@trisfen9840]

Completely agree

[@amazin7006]

yeah I was thinking about this too. I wonder if it's possible to downsize the v12 to use as an onboard charger.. weight could be an issue though.

[@Simon-dm8zv]

@@amazin7006 Why would you? The whole point is to get rid of the combustion engine.

[@ronburgundy4375]

[@ronburgundy4375]

@@Simon-dm8zv yea get rid of that so we can burn 100x fhe fossil fuel to run electric cars that are more hazardous to the environment lmfao 😂

[@carfan3762]

I share your point of view : a RR has always aimed at being the quietest car ever. So electrification absolutely befits it. The huge torque will doubtless compensate the impressive weight of the car. Remains to see what autonomy this RR will provide. Should be - reletively speeking - a huge success !

[@carholic-sz3qv]

They need to go full aluminum and carbon fiber construction on that car! No more steel.

[@sexpistill]

It already has autonomy it is called a chauffeur.

[@mistermood4164]

This is such a game changing media strategy coming out of an established manufacturer. Goes to show how much the world has changed. So privileged to witness this. Thanks for taking us on this journey James.

[@MrJWW]

Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed!

[@superchickensoup]

We are only taken on this journey because there is profit involved in it 🤣 It's like thanking someone for making money out of you. You feel privileged very easily 😂

[@niptodstan]

I'm 63 and have worked hard all my life and hate that I've never even sat in a Rolls. I'd love a drive in this. I was a chauffeur for 8 years, so drove large Daimlers etc. I'm not afraid of size and love big cars. So this would be heaven to drive.

[@stephaneaderca7948]

Go to the Rolls-Royce Enthusiast Club Annual Rally next year, there will be a way for you to sit in a Rolls. There are plenty of affordable RR - Silver Shadow and Silver Spirit - around. Real hand-built British RRs, not an RR-branded BMW.

[@NicholasTJR]

I am 31 (nearly half your age) and have driven pretty much all the Rolls Royces models starting from 2007 to 2022, from ghost, cullinan, phantom, dawn and wraith. Honestly, they're not that great to drive... They defo get alot of attention and you feel untouchable on the street..But they're not as good as they claim to be. The built quality isn't great. The car isn't as comfortable as say a Maybach or a Toyota Century. They have terrible brakes that can't hold the weight of the car.. and they're just not that great to drive fast or slow.. again, I love Rolls Royces..But I don't like them as much as I would love to.. The suspension, steering, brakes and built quality needs alot of work to make it what they claim it to be..

[@warreng5257]

@@NicholasTJR if they're so bad and you don't like them, why do you continue to drive them every year since 2007 to now?

[@warreng5257]

@@stephaneaderca7948 All the real RR stuff got bought by VW and then VW sold BMW the RR badge. That said, BMW has done a gold job to build RR back up from nothing.

[@MrJWW]

Yeah the air-con was louder than the road noise 😂👍🏻 quite amazing

[@antonoat]

When I was into optimising car stereo the most important gains were in reducing noise and not as many assumed increasing power of the audio equipment! 😀👍

[@bentleyspotter]

Very interesting to see this early protope. Also cool to see the new seat design uncovered. looks great

[@pagets-gadgets]

Love your videos Mr. JWW. My Instructor at Georgian College in Barrie Ontario Canada worked at Rolls Royce. Told us that once you have a job there you have one for life even if you leave for years and come back. What a company.

[@sorenklausbo5685]

Fascinating! Thanks for showing us 🙏🏻 Keep it coming 👍🏻

[@KevinG-hi9cv]

Wow thank you for sharing. I will never be in the position to enjoy such an inspiring brand. It is wonderful to see the traditions and the modern classic lines are in very safe hands. Well done to the development team.

[@NielsvanRoijDesign]

Great video - looking very much forward to the final product, which will be a great platform for our coachbuilding activities.

[@elmuerko]

EV makes a lot of sense for Land Rover, instant torque to independent motors for the off-road, and quiet for luxury.

Because the electric motors are much more smaller and the inverter can be integrated just like in other cars!

Electrification is absolutely befitting of Rolls Royce, however despite their v12s being BMW derived/German built and not British, they add an analog beauty to the car. You could say that it’s similar to watches, digital watches will be infinitely more accurate than a mechanical movement but fine mechanical watches are highly valued.
