00:15a steering wheel uses an artificial intelligence chauffeur named eleanor and is quite literally a
00:21rolling crystal palace on 28 inch wheels this isn't a science fiction prop it's the rolls-royce
00:27vision next 100 also known as the 103 ex it was built not to be sold but to predict the next
00:35century of luxury and after getting an up-close look the question isn't whether you want one
00:40it's what this 50 million dollar vision of the future reveals about the car you will be driving
00:45in 2040 stick around because what we're about to show you will completely redefine what you think
00:51a car can be so what exactly are we looking at this is the rolls-royce vision next 100
00:57or project name 103 ex to understand why this car is such a seismic shift you first have to
01:05understand rolls-royce itself for over a century the name has been the absolute pinnacle of automotive
01:11luxury defined by silent power hand-stitched leather and a timeless design that rarely if ever
01:17follow trends but this this is different unveiled in 2016 the 103 ex wasn't built for a showroom floor
01:26it's a vision vehicle a rolling laboratory created for rolls-royce's 100th anniversary with one
01:33audacious goal to imagine the future of luxury mobility for the next 100 years and that's why
01:39this concept is so significant even today it forces us to ask in an age of artificial intelligence and
01:47autonomous driving what does luxury become is it still about the feel of walnut burl or is it about
01:53the space and experience created when you remove the driver entirely in this review we're going to
01:58dissect this incredible machine from its massive 28 inch wheels to its breathtaking lounge-like interior
02:04we'll break down the technology that feels like magic and we'll be brutally honest about the real
02:10world drawbacks of a concept this extreme stick with us to find out if the 103 ex is a genuine glimpse
02:16of our future or just a multi-million dollar fantasy that missed the mark the answers coming up right
02:22now let's start with the sheer presence of this thing the 103 ex is massive over 19 feet long and it
02:30makes a standard phantom look almost modest the design is a complete departure from anything we've
02:36ever seen from rolls-royce yet it's somehow still unmistakable that iconic pantheon grill is still here
02:42but it's now a single illuminated piece of red perspex glowing from within and the spirit of
02:49ecstasy she's been reimagined as a crystal sculpture lit from below but the real magic happens when you
02:56approach there are no door handles the entire side of the car is a smooth unbroken surface as you get
03:05close that massive single piece coach door which runs the entire length of the cabin silently glides open
03:12and a set of steps deploys from the floor welcoming you inside it's a grand entrance fit for royalty
03:18and that's where the real revolution begins step inside and the first thing you notice is what's not
03:25there there is no steering wheel no dashboard no driver's seat instead you're greeted by a breathtaking
03:35open plan lounge in front of you is a giant oled screen that spans the entire width and
03:41beside you is a luxurious swooping sofa the materials are a fusion of the classic and the futuristic
03:47the floor is a gorgeous polished macassar ebony wood while the sofa is upholstered in a futuristic
03:54silk blend fabric it feels less like a car interior and more like a private jet cabin that just happens to be
04:01on wheels now you're probably wondering how does it move rolls-royce envisioned a fully autonomous
04:08electric powertrain with all the driving handled by an advanced ai named eleanor your only job is to
04:16sit back relax and use the voice activated personal assistant to tell her your destination that it's a
04:22vision of effortless silent and perfectly personalized travel but this level of bespoke one-of-a-kind technology
04:29and coach building doesn't come without some monumental caveats and a hypothetical price tag that is
04:35absolutely staggering which leads us to the most critical part of this review separating the
04:40breathtaking vision from the brutal limitations because when we break down the key highlights and
04:46the shocking drawbacks coming up next you'll understand exactly why this car is both a masterpiece
04:51and a paradox this is the moment of truth the core promise of the 103 ex isn't about horsepower or 0 to
04:5960 times it's about a complete and total surrender of control it's the promise that eleanor the ai isn't
05:07just a competent driver she's the ultimate chauffeur so imagine you're inside this crystalline sanctuary
05:14the world outside is just a blur of lights and noise but in here it's silent there is no steering
05:21wheel to grip no pedals to press you have entrusted your entire journey to a machine the oled screen in
05:29front of you transforms into a digital window not just showing the road but augmenting it with points
05:34of interest your schedule anything you desire this is the turning point this is where the 103 ex either
05:42becomes a transcendent vision of the future or a beautiful pointless cage and the shocking revelation
05:48is this the most luxurious feature of all isn't the silk or the wood it's the time by removing the act
05:56of driving rolls-royce gives you back your most precious commodity this car isn't a vehicle it's a
06:02mobile office a private cinema a rolling meditation chamber it completely redefines what a car is
06:09but this incredible freedom comes with the most profound limitation imaginable a total loss of autonomy
06:15you can't take a spontaneous detour you can't feel the thrill of the open road you are a passenger in
06:23your own life and that creates the single biggest paradox we've ever encountered in a car so after experiencing
06:31this does the 103 ex's breathtaking vision of the future justify its monumental cost and compromises
