Rolls Royce Phantom Limelight Edition. My D R E A M car.

theverge.com/2015/4/23/8435509/rolls-royce-phantom-limelight

> The Phantom Limelight Collection — a run of 25 specially-fitted Phantoms — was "conceived for that select group of people who spend their lives in the public eye and on the world stage," the company says in a press release. That starts with the rear doors, which have been fitted with special compartments: on the ladies' side, room for jewelry, on the men's side, a concealed space for watches. Both sides have room for three fragrances in handmade bottles imported from France's Bresle Valley: one each for morning, midday, and evening. I'm not aware of anyone who changes their fragrance depending on the time of day, but then again, I'm not a billionaire socialite.

> The Limelight also debuts a new type of rear seat for the Phantom that's apparently been optimized for relaxation through consultation with medical professionals, featuring a motorized calf rest, a 27-degree incline, and foot rests that pop out of the car's floor. Naturally, the car features Rolls-Royce's trademark Starlight headliner, which uses fiber optics to create a star pattern above the passengers. (Specced separately, it's a five-figure option.)

Any modern Lamborghini or Ferrari.

Lancia Stratos if by maximalist you mean a vehicle that tries its very best to kill you.

At least Ferrari still has some semblance of elegance and form, Lambos are just about pure loudness.

clean up that fucking kitchen

Ferraris are extremely simple. A modern S Class/Audi A7 has 90+ CAN modules over 8 busses. A 458 has 20, a 430 has 7. If you think a Stratos is maximalist you don't understand what the word means.

From a construction/engineering perspective the most maximal I can think of are Maybach and Model X.

My context for the Lancia was different from what one might typically consider a "maximalist" vehicle. All other aspect aside, it does have a maximalist driving experience based on its reputation.

Every fastener has a Pagani logo ffs.

Is that a peepeepoopoo hole in the seat?

Ford Mondeo Mk. II

>not posting a real Mk. II

>fancy ass car to store your fancy ass shit for when you have too much money and no idea what to do with it
RR's are nice cars, but a watch compartment? A perfume compartment? You could achieve the same results with a fucking bag, or even the center console. Its not like those were designed to hold shit, and have been a part of cars for decades

>Lambos
I drove one and the fucking thing backfired at every stop. The owner told me it was designed to do that purposely, but he didn't have an answer for why.

...

Drove in my friend's dad's S7 and it fucking backfired on every single upshift, stupid and annoying.

This one also had some kind of auto-rev feature built in as well, so even though I wasn't touching the gas, it would rev up at stops (before backfiring).

The point of it is to show there are no bounds. Imagine a $650k base car, with $650k worth of watches rolling around, or a million dollars worth of jewellery. It's the ultimate flex.

minimalist here
buy a BMW, you'll get gratuitous excess and extras with very little value for your money.

hope this helps.

To attract as much attention as possible.

Everyone does it now after mercedes realized they could just drop a bit of gas straight into the exhaust pipe for the effect.

>To attract as much attention as possible
Trying really hard not to make a Lamborghini owner joke right now.
>muh vertical exhaust
>muh leopard spotted wrap

Pretty much anything that is IRL Hotwheels™

>full trash can

fucking disgusting

McLaren P1 LM

It's for ventilation of your vagina

>irl hotwheels
Theres nothing i wouldnt do for this ugly piece of shit

Would you eat cereal? But, y'know, without any MILK?

get off Veeky Forums kurt you're 16

Thats some CIA torture shit right there, but anything for my baby
My Veeky Forumstism started early. I swear i watched the first movie at least once a week for the longest time. Ive tried rewatching it recently and it kinda sucks

What's wrong with rich people wasting their money? It circulates it back into the economy, which is good.

in theory. on practice such existing circulation only makes rich people richer and poor people poorer

>minimalist here

Let's put this through the translator

>bus fag here

Much better

Saw a gathering of these at the gas station south of Auckland the other day.
It was kinda tragic cos every dude that had one was your typical ugly, balding old dude.
It is such a blatant cry for attention, yet normies just think you're a dick if you own a hypercar.
I suppose they just hang out with their own, but I have an uncle that's rich as all fuckery, and just drives normal shit and he's really well liked by mostly everyone EXCEPT his other richfag board of directors type peers.
Ostentatious crap will always alienate the owner I guess.
I wonder if you are a haughty dick before getting a ludicrous car, or whether getting one and always being thought of as a wanker makes you that way.

Seconded

>kurt
Kurt drove a Sling Shot.

wtf that is a granada matey

But is there more of this perfect specimen

...

Looked like the back end of a Taurus wagon

I prefer the new Phantom(even though it is not a fancy pants limelight edition), which doesn't ride on a 13 year old platform.

What the fuck is that on the seat?
Does it suck away the sweat from your salty, hairy balls?

Also, the starlight shit is a five figure option so that you can completely remove your panoramic sunroof. Anyone else trying to get a Rolls Royce? I'm planning on having my own car rental company that includes Rolls-Royces so that I could drive one relatively cheaply. (Have own mechanics and such). The Ghost rides on the 7 series platform so they are cost-effective to maintain.

Test

Maybe an old one.

...

I prefer the new Phantom too, its got much more presence, who knew that was even possible right? Once the special editions of the new one are out I’m sure they’ll be coveted. The new Rolls Royce SUV is also very interesting. Cullinan I think it’s called.

If I keep making the money I do now and continue to grow I am going to have a Wraith or a Ghost in a few years no question. I want an Inspired by Fashion, Film, or Music Edition Wraith a lot.

>modern RRs are BMWs with a body kit

Disgusting

Only the Ghost and its siblings, the Phantom is still its own thing.

The legend

Yeah man RRs are going to be nice. I'm going to get mine in black and white, they are so nice when clean.

Rolls Royce is a small company which has limited production. Best thing to do is give it a BMW platform, it also makes the BMW 7 series more appealing.

I'm not communist, or even particularly socialist, but man, I fucking hate the 0.1%.
>I could pay my taxes and still be making 7-figures, but I'd rather buy a car with a compartment that can hold the fifty 3000 dollar watches I'll never wear
Is this what money does to people?

You live an extremely decadent life compared to most on earth. Rolls Royce (BMW) and it's supply chain provide good jobs to tens of thousands of working class people, so do the watch companies. Nothing wrong with luxury goods. If you have an issue with it become a multibillionaire and give all your money away.

>hurst

I was always sadenned how they dropped the story after Accelaracers...

>I'd rather buy a car with a compartment that can hold the fifty 3000 dollar watches I'll never wear
People who own Rolls Royces are at a point in their life where money is not the only goal in sight, and other things begin to appeal to them. Everyone dies and enters the same ground or the same incinerator, but everyone takes a different path to get to that dirt or incinerator, and that's what money allows you to do. Once you have enough for your personal path, it stops becoming motivating, and more like a chore to be able to sustain yourself on your chosen path to death.

Deep, I know, I think about this a lot.

Ford Mondeo

Lick those boots, faggot. How does it feel to spend all day, every day slaving over rich mens' toys that you will never be able to afford?

DON'T SCRATCH THE PAINT, PEASANT.

>you will never go Christmas tree hunting with your qt in a 1985 Ford Mondeo while Bing Crosby croons softly on the AM radio

"mondeo"

What the fuck does "maximalist" even mean?

>center console
In that car you don't drive.

They have a concealed compartment so you can store them without people seeing them when you get out. A bag is just messy.

Pugs aren't exactly rare, mate

I'm guessing the opposite of minimalist. Large, brash, overstated. Basically the ideal large parts of American motoring culture have been striving for for most of their history especially in aftermarket modification, but to some degree even in factory design.

Nissan Maxima

What is the purpose of those light covers, they unironically look rad

Looking rad

Why bother contributing to a thread about a specific theme if you're going to redefine the theme in your head so you can talk about an irrelevant car you like

Why is there a plug haning out of the bumper ?

Probably for a block heater

Modern Rolls-Royces (and Bentleys to some degree) are just gaudy cars for people who like to waste hundreds of thousands of dollars to show off to other people. They aren't even really appealing design-wise, they're probably the most fat and bloated cars you can buy today. But they make you feel rich™, and you'll be amazed how much money people will shell out just for that. It is true some people have more money than sense.

Most rich people don't even spend $70k on their car. Cars like GMC Yukons and Honda Accords seem to be a staple of the upper class, with an honorable mention going to the Hyundai Genesis. The funny thing is that many new cars, even from formerly 'working-class' brands like Ford and Chevrolet, are becoming more like luxury cars since they already cost $30k+, have become cars of the rich since the middle class in America is dying and many cannot afford the cost of a new car since wages have not kept up with inflation.

Probably for adjusting seats

Sour grapes: the post

Honestly pathetic and it's clear that you have never driven or been driven in a Bentley or Rolls Royce.

>he doesn't have a plug hanging from his car

kik

>I could pay my taxes and still be making 7-figures, but I'd rather buy a car with a compartment that can hold the fifty 3000 dollar watches I'll never wear
Richfag here. You need to add a zero to your ballpark amount for the watches.

Also not all of us are showy. I'd never buy that car.

Why, have you?

And have you driven or been driven in many other cars besides a Bentley/Rolls-Royce?

I want to drive the RR because of the funny effect it has on people

>girls mirin from the street, friend circles
>you can pretend to be anyone
>you can pretend to be a drug dealer in a RR
>pretend to be a fancy pants conneusuier
>floor the fuck out of the RR, leaving plebs in amazement

I used to troll online, now I will troll irl

This may not make sense to you as you are someone that spends all time fantasizing about exotic cars, but not everyone feels the same way, and people who fix them didn't get into that career because they secretly want to own the cars.

>electrician who works on windmill power stations
>HOW DOES IT FEEL THAT YOU'LL NEVER AFFORD YOUR OWN WINDMILL FAGGOT?!

>Civil engineer designing a freeway onramp
>HOW DOES IT FEEL THAT YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO AFFORD YOUR OWN FREEWAY ONRAMP?!

That's how your posts sound to me.

The new ones don't draw much attention at all unless you are in the Midwest or somewhere else that people have never seen one. Classic Bentleys/Rolls are big attention getters though, not too expensive either.

...

Lincoln Navigator (2 gens ago) seems pretty lavish.

I live in Miami and they still give off a bit of a bad vibe, at least when you leave South Beach. You can drive a car even more expensive, and for whatever reason people hate the person with the RR more.

On a similar note, when I was a kid (I'm 32 now), most people in America when they saw a cool car would say things like "damn that's a nice car! wow I hope I have that some day!", versus now mostly what I hear is stuff like "rich asshole probably can't drive" "what a showoff, I hate rich people" and those types of things.

That's because the rich weren't always as obscenely rich as they are now and haven't always multiplied their wealth on the backs of the middle class. The modern upper class is an increasingly aristocratic pest, and people are getting rightfully fed up with them.

Those examples are both retarded and irrelevant, because super rich people don't own freeway ramps or giant windmills either. They're owned by governments or corporations.

Vehicles are a completely different item. I can smell the jealousy coming off you.

I understand why people are upset, but, it seems a little silly to hate on someone just for being wealthy, the vast majority of which aren't consciously trying to beat up anyone else.

I'm worth a fair amount now and I'd say I do more good than bad. I certainly employee a lot of people.

We certainly need to do something though, because pretty soon America will be in a civil war. No doubt in my mind.

The problem is that the wealthier you are, the easier it is to accumulate more wealth because the focus shifts from productive labor to insufficiently regulated financial speculation. It's harder to turn 10 grand into 20 grand than it is to turn 100 million into 200 million. That's what people are angry about.

god dammit. its too close to holidays already
i don't need these feels

Or you could live life in the FAST LANE as a transgendered weed-dealing Corvette stealing trailer trash fuck.

Holy shit, that pic is Clinical Depression: The Post.

I hope whoever made that (and whoever feels the same way) found or finds help. That's the kind of shit they prescribe anti-depressants for, and it's a big reason why therapists are so widespread.

We have a real problem with depression in our society (and no, I'm not talking about you feeling down every once in a while, clinical depression is a whole different animal and is an actual mental disorder that sadly is commonplace), and unfortunately it isn't being addressed the way it should be because mental health still isn't taken seriously unless its something like schizophrenia or dementia.

That still looks like a normal 911, though.

What if you know that's you and you've decided that instead of just being depressed you're going to take it out on society?

Have you ever been to /r9k/?

Yeah until it tries to kill you
youtu.be/OSMCfPASImQ

the fact that this user goes this far for his dad is something

That isnt a porsche 911. Thats a Ruf, legally a different car.

I know, I was just saying that the Ruf looks like a regular Porsche until it tries to put you into a tree
