GTA8.5

While looking somewhat like the previous generation W220 S-Class the Maybach is not based on that model. MB engineers have poined this out
to the press when thay designed this car.

Can say the same for Maybach... Or better, longer and wider W220 S with more buttons!

RR of course!

I'm not going to comment, as these pictures will say it all.

Right on, dude!

The Phantom dwarfs every other car in real life. Even a Maybach 62 looks much smaller next to it.

Lucky you posted those pics, Rnds. On the basis of the few in the first post, I'd have easily said the Maybach is a better looking car. It might not have the presence of the RR - which achieves it through its design of yesteryear coupled with sheer size emphasised all the more by its slabbiness - but it looks simply pleasantly large and sleek. The Maybach doesn't look 'bad', IMO, by any stretch of the imagination. However, the RR looks quite distinctive. The only thing I don't like is the curve of the crease on the lower part of the doors - the 'convex' nature of it often makes the car look bloated. It would have been better perhaps straight, or perhaps with a 'concave' curve, I don't know. But not convex.

I can't say I like the Bentley a lot, though. A bit bland. IMO Derivative, once seeing the Conti GT - of course, perhaps they're meant to be, considering they were designed at the same time, and part of a family of sorts.. but even so, not enough design features to make me like it.

Snake have you seen this thread?

Thanks, I have now. I actually passed by it before. That burgundy Rolls looks quite good. Still, that's with the works in terms of studio lighting and such.

In normal light, the crease I was talking about it rather evident, though I'm sure that on a quick glance that's the last thing you're really looking at. And the taillights are somewhat underwhelming given the impact of the rest of the car.

Mr. M

I chosed the RR because it is the only car that can do it, man.

It just defines succinctly what the whole segment of ultra-lux road tanks are all about.

RR Phantom....no doubt

BTW, on IAA I've seen those 3 cars in few hours (about 2 RRs, 7 Maybachs and 3 Bentleys) and Phantom is just beautiful and as klier said, even Maybach looks small next to it...RR, the KING.
