The future princess of England will ofcourse go for the little nutty Next 100 Mini.

Rolls Royce has swung their bat hard aiming to blow the competition out of the park. The future car Rolls-Royce Vision Next 100 is an object of lust worthy beauty. Essentially, it is an autonomous electric-powered luxury concept car of the future. The steering wheel has been done away with, so say good bye to your chauffeur in the future. The Rolls Royce 103EX only has 2 doors, because the cockpit houses an OLED screen and a large sofa facing it. It is implied that passengers will interact with the car via a Voice / Gesture controlled AI program called ‘Eleanor’. The AI has been named after actress Eleanor Thornton, who was the inspiration behind the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament.
The electric motors powering the car sit under the floor in the wheel hubs. The bonnet space serves as a roomy luggage compartment that slides out at hand height. Getting in and out of the car is like something out of Star Wars. The roof moves up, and the door swings open giving the impression of an extended gullwing mechanism.
The future ready 103EX is still a pure Rolls Royce. Opulence hasn’t been neglected in any way. 28 inch wheels stand out gloriously as they have each been hand-crafted from 65 pieces of Aluminium. The interior of the future Rolls Royce shines with wooden panelling on the doors made from expensive Macassar wood.
