What a nice car...its so beautfiul.  Of all the uber sedans, I would put them in this order:

RR Phanton
Bentley CFS
Maybach

"With a few engineering tricks ? including redesigned cylinder heads ? and a pair of intercooled KKK turbochargers, Bentley engineering in England redrafted VW's W12 to 552 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 470 pound-feet of torque that peaks at just 1,600 rpm."


That's pretty crazy...with the peak torque coming at only 1600 RPM's...on a twin-turbo engine...craziness! lol  Sweet car.

Very nice interior...

This is supposed to be the fastest sedan in the world I believe.

That's actually quite a handsome car! Much better than the blocky Rolls Royce Phaeton.

Beautiful interior!  WOW! :o

I disagree (subjective of course).  The Rolls is much more imposing and announces your presence in a much more assertive matter, which is very important for a car in this class.

195 mph sedan.  B)  I love its sleek lines. It looks soo much better as a sedan than as a coupe. And its interior is awesome.

Unless the owner of the car does not want to be noticed...or shot...

So you want all your rich friends to say: "Oh dear heavens! What is that hideous monstrosity in the driveway!"

That thing has no grace, not at all smooth. The Bentley is like Pierce Brosnan and the Rolls is like Chris Farley. Sure you knew it when he came into the room, but... :D

My '86 Ford Ranger kinda resmbles the look of the Rolls Royce. My Amana refridgerator does too!

I've seen a RR Phanton in real life (I'm not talking about an auto show) and the car exuded class and finesse.  It stood out from everything...it was a very imposing and beautiful car.  It is in now way a hideous monstrosity.

I'm inclined to agree. While the RR may be a bit blocky, the look works. The Continentals come out too rounded, dangerously close to the 90s Buick Riviera.

Look how imposing it looks!

Indeed.

The RR is too "old" school for my tastes....

[Catman]

That interior is awesome!

Am I the only one that thinks the Flying Spur looks really bland?
