Rolls-Royce Vision Next 100 Rendered in Roadster clothes

It was 2016 when Rolls-Royce gifted the world with the Vision Next 100 Concept and yet, if you've somehow missed this, the thing will easily seem like it was released... much later on in this century. Then again, this only means the designers have done their job well, since their task was to celebrate the heritage of the brand while taking us into the future. Of course, there will always be aficionados who want more, which is how we end up with creations like this Roadster version of the machine, which is clearly a rendering.

Keep in mind that the 103EX (this is the internal name of the machine) is a tale of autonomous driving that relies on electric propulsion - Rolls-Royce may have steered clear of electrification after its customers clearly stated their intention towards this, but things will change in the future, especially with parent company BMW making sustained EV efforts.

So. let's take a bit of time to remember how Rolls-Royce sees the bewildering concept, with this also helping us understand its purpose.
