Rolls-Royce Electric Limo On the Way?

British luxury car manufacturer Rolls-Royce has given the biggest clue yet that an electric limousine may be on the way!

For more years than we care to remember, Rolls-Royce has rumored that a green limo was secretly in production, without backing up this news with any proof but now it looks like the proverbial cat may be out of the bag.

Before Christmas the Rolls Royce chief executive Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes indicated that the car maker was in the process of looking into a variety of options with a view to creating an eco-Rolls Royce as he said an experimental model would be a good idea.

Rolls Royces parent company, BMW, is due to unveil their state of the art green technology for low emission vehicles next year. The new green models will be showcased at the London 2012 Olympics where they will be used to chauffeur VIP guests at the Games. Rolls Royce may well follow suit and plan to debut their green limo at the 2012 Olympic Games for maximum exposure.

The unveiling of a greener luxury car fit for kings would do a world of good by replacing the gas-guzzling previous models that have become the mainstay in the luxury car community. Cant wait to see what Rolls-Royce has to offer!
