Concerned the new Rolls-Royce Phantom is a bit too evolutionary in its styling? Did you want revolution? Then allow us to introduce you to Sergey Dvornytskyy, and more specifically his illustrations.This is his creation, the Rolls-Royce Exterion. "Inspired by the wonderful world of Syd Mead illustrations and the latest trends in Rolls-Royce design," he says, "I tried to create the ultimate luxury electric vehicle for the futuristic world of autonomous driving."Syd Mead"s images paint a retro-futuristic world, and the Exterion is intended to be able to slide right into one of them. So there"s plenty of the extravagant coachbuilding of Rolls-Royces past, as well as their proportions via the long bonnet and oversize wheels.But then there"s a heck of a lot that"s new, too, including what appears to be a complete lack of windows and a worrying lack of wheel clearance. They are illustrations, of course, Sergey"s vision of "a luxury yacht for roads of the future". It"s a styling exercise, not a practical consideration.So the question is simple, really: do you like what he"s done? And could the new Phantom do with looking a little wilder, like the Exterion?Images: Sergey DvornytskyyShare this page: FacebookTwitterGoogle+WhatsAppMailtoCopy link
