Looks like the 100EX to me (even says so on the license plate) therefore it's a concept car, not the production vehicle which is to be based on the Phantom and use the existing V12 engine.

I know its only a concept, but i'm certain that will build it - or a derivative of it soon enough. I have to say that I think it looks really good!

10 Nov 2004
Source: just-auto.com editorial team
BMW-owned Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has confirmed that it will launch a new, two-door, four-seat convertible model, to be built at the company's manufacturing plant at Goodwood, England, in 2007.
As widely predicted by industry observers, the design of the new car, code-named RR02, is based on the 100EX centenary experimental car, which was unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March 2004 - although it will be slightly smaller.
The new model will be built using similar aluminium space-frame chassis technology to the Phantom limousine and will share the larger car’s BMW-made 6.75 litre V12 engine.
Sales and marketing director Howard Mosher said: "The success of the Phantom has given us a solid foundation for the future from which we can now take this next important step. Convertible motor cars have always played a central part in the 100 year history of Rolls-Royce and I am delighted that we can take this tradition forward with a cutting edge, 21st century design."
The new convertible will be the second model to be hand-built at the company's new head office and manufacturing plant in England.

It certainly won't have the concept car's V16...the V12 should be enough. I wouldn't expect the billet Aluminum hood and Windscreen surround either...too impractical and expensive to put into production.
