Commissioned by tyre company Fulda, the Exelero is a chopped-down two-seater coupe, though it's more than just a show car - in tests at the Nardo high-speed oval, the prototype reached a speed of 218.38mph, despite weighing over 2.66 tonnes. It is capable of acceleration from 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds. The car's design was the result of a competition amongst students at the Pforzheim Polytechnic... Full article...

The RR4 sedan, as the car is now known, is targeting customers that Rolls-Royce's archrival Bentley attracted with its Continental GT and Flying Spur cars -- people who are extremely rich but perhaps more discreet than buyers of traditional Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley Arnage limousines.
