The bad things first ... the wheels. Drop them for something not in your face, this is the stealth model after all.

The black front grille will tone the outer styling down as well and compared to the Bentayga and all those Range Rovers bought by 2nd division footballers and builders who have made too much money in the last 10 years it actually is a bit of a Q car ..... almost.

An SUV rolls that is less ostentatious than the opposition ... who would have thunk it ? I watched the Car Guys review of it and inside it really is lovely.

I am officially old where my age matches my sperm count and my belt size ... and I laughed at them elderly mofo's listening to the sound of their clock and pacemakers ticking as they drove along in the old Silver Spirit, now I am one of them ( in spirit only, I drive a Yaris)

When's the Corniche version coming out for £400k ? Yes please ! Off to Cannes / Pebble Beach / Pevensey Bay and just cruise along.

PS I came on PH to post a picture of some steak and chips on the FDR thread and got distracted !

Disappointed to note that PistonHeads failed to report Batman’s recent promotion to head of Rolls Royce Automotive Development and Design. Delighted he has finally found alternative employment, Gotham City has been immaculate for years now. Subset’s of individuals everywhere will be celebrating this spectacular opportunity.

Interior is beautiful, though not my choice of colour. The outside is just awful, it reminds me of a pimped up black cab!

Good to darken the pictures, it hides the hideous form.

Simon Cowell's choice of wheels for Rodeo Drive and Sunset Boulevard.

Maybe they'll do a convertible version a la Evoque. Pure class!

Yep, just cannot get London black out of my head when I see one, particularly in that spec, even more so.

Especially with them yellow highlights... just like in a taxi

Dunno, this blacked out black sort of works. Anything to help disguise the exterior is good in my view. Not sat in one just yet, but can imagine it's a wonderful place to sit in driving through Chelsea at ~10 miles per hour

Me too. I saw one for the first time the other day. At best it looks like a taxi. At worst like some sort of delivery van.

Not dark enough - you can still see it.

And how many of us can afford this...

I see a black one most days parked outside a hotel close to my office in London. I’ve seen a couple of others out and about too, and can’t help thinking it looks like what would happen if you welded the back end of an old Range Rover to the front half of one of the new electric London black taxis.

I can’t help glancing at it each time I walk past, but purely out of curiosity than because it looks nice.

Is that the Swiss clinic where overweight and ugly cars go to commit suicide?

How can something so expensive look so common?

Looks like the new G63 now has some competition for The Dubai Mall car park Top Trumps award! .

Separated at Birth? I know which I’d rather have, likely the same money. Worked well for Chris Eubank.
