Red one?

 

[SDNR]

Those wheels were first used on the 101EX ....are they now finally available on the production cars? ......they look way better than the rims on the red DHC.

 

[SDNR]

One of those is just sick, guess which one.

M

Red one?

except the red one does not have the optional brushed steel A pillar and front ....nor does it have the sisal floor mats, it has the Wilton carpet instead.

 

[Merc1]

No guys that Black DHC! That is my color combo right there I think.

^^really Marcus, you like the rims on the red DHC more -- personally, I would just go with the standard (original) rims.

...and I like the black DHC more too.

 

[Merc1]

Yeah the ones the red are better, but not great.

[SDNR]

^^OK

You would think that Rolls would offer a larger selection of much better rims .....considering how great some of the BMW ones are.

 

[Centurion]

Hmm I'm a bit unsure about my opinion on the 101x. I wonder if it's more driver orientated than the Phantom which is a passanger's car.

 

[PanterroR]

OMFG!

Any chance to get these in HR, Rob?

Thanks in advance!

 

[Merc1]

Yeah that is pretty hot. Looks a lot better than the sedan to my eye. The only thing I can't get with on these Rollers are those thin-rimmed steering wheels. They should at least offer a thicker one. To be rich and have to choose between this and the Brooklands, some problem. I'd just have both.

Me too, Marcus, me too... They're both special in their own way...

Btw, do you happen to know the length and width of Brooklands and this RR just to compare?

Not sure about the Roller, but for the Bentley Brooklands:

Overall Length............5411mm / 213.03in
Width across mirrors... 2078mm / 81.81in
Height.......................1473mm / 57.99in
Wheel Base................3116mm / 122.68in
Track Front / Rear.......1610mm / 1608mm - 63.39in / 63.31in

Well I found the demensions for the Phantom Drophead Coupe, not sure if they're the same for the Coupe.

Vehicle length - 5609 mm / 220.8 in
Vehicle width - 1987 mm / 78.2 in
Vehicle height(unladen) - 1581 mm / 62.2 in
Wheelbase - 3320 mm / 130.7 in


BTW, the Rolls-Royce site is incredible:

Edit for the Coupe:

Compared to the Phantom, the 101EX has a 10-inch-shorter wheelbase and is 9.5 inches shorter overall, although we're still talking about an 18-foot-long car.

The wheelbase for the Phantom is 3570 mm / 140.6 in, so figure on the 101EX having a 130.6 in or so wheelbase.

Thanks, man!

Just as i've thought and the advantage concerning design for Brooklands - it's wider and has lower roofline.

Still, both are absolutely beautiful. The best of both worlds.

 

[Merc1]

YW, these cars are massive indulgences to the highest degree looking at those specs!

Right!

I wish I could help ....but these are the biggest I can find ......If I find larger ones I'll get back to you.



I like the hardtop coupé better than the convertible -- I think the shape of the C pillar and the broader (thicker) brushed steel lower window sill make this car look very special.

Here is not such a great quality picture ....but I think this is the vehicle's best angle.

You guys will probably send a mob for me becasue of this.


Surprisingly I prefer the looks of the cabrio. I can't help but to think of the 101ex like as a two door sedan. Obviously the high and boxy roof shape is neccessary in order to make the back seat fully usable, after all Phantom is a passanger car.

The shape of the roof does have a negative impact of the visual appearence of the car, it doesn't looks fast as sleek as most coupes. Coupes are meant to be driven but the 101ex is some what different. It a passanger orientated two door car. Kind of an oxymoron.

Here's a picture of the Brooklands to show you show what I'm talking about.

 

[SDNR]

^^ I know exactly what you are saying Luw ....and I would totally agree if it wasn't for one thing: This is a Rolls-Royce. The formal, upright appearance is entirely appropriate for the character of this car; this is not a sporty car after all -- it is essentially a two-door limousine.
