BMW is doubling down on its electrification efforts and the eco-friendly agenda includes its two British brands as well. While Mini has already announced plans for two electric crossovers plus a John Cooper Works GP silent hot hatch, Rolls-Royce hasn\u2019t exactly been generous in providing exact details about its EV agenda. Thankfully, a new report from Autocar<\/a><\/em> aims to shed light on how the ultra-luxe Goodwood brand aims to embrace zero emissions.<\/p>\n

Tentatively called \u201cSilent Shadow\u201d as an electric nod to the classic Silver Shadow, the car has allegedly been built already as an early prototype in Munich, Germany at the R&D center belonging to parent company BMW. The styling is said to take after the radically designed 2016 103EX concept pictured here, while the electric motor and battery tech could be adapted from the iX electric SUV.<\/p>\n

The BMW Group is believed to be working on the i7<\/a> and Silent Shadow together, even though the former will sit on the CLAR platform while the latter could ride on Rolls-Royce\u2019s bespoke aluminum-intensive architecture. Autocar<\/em> says the two high-end EVs will share many of the bits and pieces to speed up development while cutting costs in the process.<\/p>\n
