I agree Shak – what about the hub caps on the wheels which have roller ball bearings in them so that the RR logo stays upright as the wheel rotates – that’s also a very unique feature….

Mind you I guess if you have to look at the wheels to determine whether or not it’s a Roller something’s wrong

^The badge is weighted and floats in the hub so it remains straight when the wheels are turning. Talk about attention to detail.

How do they get the RR symbol to stay upright in the alloys?

I was in Sydney a few weeks ago when I saw a Phanton Sedan with some 22″ “Bling” alloys on it. I nearly crashed my hired Mondeo. Just goes to show that money does not buy class, and you can have money and still be a bogan at heart.

The name definitely fits this car: a “phantom” coupe…It definitely looks intimidating!

This is a lovely car. I haven’t driven one, but I have driven a DHC and a Phantom Limousine and they are wonderful cars. I think this would be the pick of the bunch because the DHC is too showy and the Limousine looks like you should be getting driven in it, not driving it, which is quite unfortunate I think. I wouldn’t have a black one, I think I would have a red one, a dark green one or maybe a blue one – the darker colours are either boring (the colour that is, it’s hard to make this car boring), or look like a rapper or a footballer should be driving it which is, once again, unfortunate. Plus the fact that they only ever seem to be bought in Black, Silver, White, Navy Blue or Grey so it would be a bit interesting to get, say, a red one.

The thing I love most about Rolls Royce’s is still the power reserve dial, one of the coolest things in any car, ever.
