Who at RR thought that yellow colour would be a good idea?

Foul looking thing, the only thing going for it is the craftsmanship that goes into it.
The ones I see are either parked outside emporiums in places like Bradford or owners of lower league football clubs, all of which are usually w@nk puffins.
Absolutely not a car I would aspire to, they just seem to epitomise people who have more £££ than taste…

I absolutely love the RR Dawn but these have always looked ungainly and badly proportioned. Like an expensive Crossfire.

Definitely one for the special edition magpies, some of the features are excellent mind.

“Half a day is spent just polishing to make sure the finish is perfect.”

fk me but that’s not exactly pushing the boat out is it. I’ve spent half a day polishing my car but I ain’t claiming it as an achievement to exult.
I can just envisage a YTS lad with some Turtle wax and a 3 pack of Asda dusters. Go Rolls Royce!!!

An interior spaced for Roark Junior.

I can't say I'm overwhelmed by the interior; it's as if it can't work out what it wants to be; it's as if they wanted to retain the verticality and a spot of the chaotic amateur-hour layout of pre-BMW RR's, but they also want it to be a bit modern and glitzy - and it's neither, and not in a good way.

The external doesn’t appeal to me, but WOWZER that interior is spectacular! The automotive imagery on the dash is the coolest thing I’ve seen on an interior.

That really is quite the exit for the RR V12 - Bravo.

PH folks... It's RR or Rolls-Royce. Not R-R.

The yellow is a bit much, especially the front braces behind the grille, very BMW 118d

I don't doubt the quality of the materials and workmanship, but that interior styling?
It would look naff, IMHO, in a Lamborghini Huracán, but in a RR? What were they thinking? Is that really what today's typical RR buyer wants?

I’m sure it’s a lovely thing to drive but it’s a little gangsta for me.

All that amazing craftsmanship and engineering to end up looking like a chavs gangsta wheelz.
A long way from the Silver Shadow, but I guess this is where the money is now.

Agreed. I’m not that keen on the yellow but the interior detail is unbelievable. Would love to travel in one.

It appears PH have posted some photos of a Rolls that’s has been fu*ked by one of Cheshires aftermarket chav G-class and Lambo wrappers.
Can someone post the original photos of the Rolls Royce to go with the article please?

Awful, you buy a Rolls Royce to be classy this seems to go in the opposite direction.

If i make it through a zombie apocalypse i might try and find one of these for a drive about...
