Clearly the best luxury car money can possibly buy.

This thing seriously has no competition, does it?

Nope. Last year's Mulsanne sales figure proved it's a dead product, even with the bling facelift. Pains me to say it as a Mulsanne fan.

Not on 4-wheels it doesn't. This competes with yachts and private jets for buyers dollars.

Sales figures in the States, or globally?

That for one, and even purely from a luxury standpoint, Mulsanne cannot hold a candle to the Phantom VIII

Also in Europe it seems only 173 Mulsanne's have been sold last year

$590k. Duo paint is a $34k option

It's not surprising. The Mulsanne is very old-school Rolls-Royce/Bentley - it has a lot of the same gentlemanly feel of Bentleys from 30 years ago. The world has changed, the market for high-end luxury cars is younger and there are so many alternatives now.

The Phantom impresses with its high-style and bold overstatement, it is a celebration of conspicuous consumption. The Mulsanne appeals to generally more reserved, and perhaps more sophisticated, tastes.

I think the Mulsanne's replacement will be quite different and much more modern. The Mulsanne feels like an anachronism - and its days are probably numbered.

Makes a lot more sense than a Louis Vuitton tailored luggage set for a BMW i8

This has to be one of my favorite details about this car, those laser lights somehow look like fine jewelry

*Braces for dislikes.. Los Angeles folks just couldn’t wait to get their hands on the Phantom. How to a $600k car look cheap and tasteless.

Unfortunately, lots of RR owners add big chrome rims and flamboyant wraps - comprising the years of engineering effort by RR.

I kinda had that coming, even though I wish I hadn't

Is this the same car that was in O'Gara Westlake? Didn't know the car is for sale atm, thought it was just a factory demo car.

It might be, but all the Phantom demos have same spec. Nowadays, it's hard to tell if it's a factory demo or launch edition because some dealers will just sell it to whoever pays the most over sticker.

Saw this SWB sample on the penultimate day of the Brussels Motor Show....Even the standard wheelbase is absolutely COLOSSAL

I wonder if we will ever see pictures of a really personnalized gallery or are the super richs definitively too shy for that.
