Awesome review as always, MOTOMAN.

Well done.

First of all, amazing review like always, probably the only reviewer who successfully answer what's so new about the Dawn. To answer to your question I think RR needs to continue its appeal to a younger generation of owners. Nowadays 4 door coupes are in among the young money (Panamera, S/RS 7, CLS etc...). I think RR needs to make a sporty 4 dr coupe based on the Wraith/Ghost, with the same emphasis on luxury as the two but with a little bit more sportiness in mind.

Very P.G.Wodehouse. Love it Chris .!

Great and very durable car. I truly enjoy it!

Great review, big fan of Bentley's and Porsche(new to RR). Do like the details in your reviews. Complete, is the word that comes to mind. 2 questions for you...? 1) when is the new gt out? and is it a new facelift 2017? 2) which would you buy and why..... a Bentley Continental GT Speed 2017 or a Rolls Royce Wraith Black badge 2017?

Come on MotoMan, keep up. Rolls Royce are talking about a SUV and is being planned as we speak.

Please review the new wraith black badge

My god that's a beautiful automobile. the Host ain't to bad either. lol.. But that car though wow. Thanx for bringing it to us.

That's a beautiful vehicle....but "Putting that aside" lol....this is also a good review!!! lol

Dream car

Gorgeous … simply put. I think a Rolls-Royce Limousine would fit right in with the brand. I know the Phantom LWB could count as one, but I mean even longer … similar to the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman & the Bentley Mulsanne Grand Limousine Mulliner, but more Rolls-Roycey … basically a Private Jet on wheels. My closet experience with a Rolls is the guy at Rolls Royce Jeddah unlocked a Waterspeed collection Phantom Drophead & let me take photos of its interior…. (only 36 cars were made!) As for the What Do You Do For Living? According to RR, the average Rolls buyer have more than 35 millions on his bank account. The MPG thing is ridiculous though, who cares! As always, excellent work M!

The Wraith is one of the first Rolls Royces to excite me, but actually not the Dawn, don't like convertibles

Only experience I had is sitting in one and let me tell you the smell itself of the leather makes you know why it's worth so much haha

How dare you say "suicide" doors .....it's "coach" doors lol :) great video!

There is also a Phantom EWB and a Ghost EWB. So both Rolls Royce lines consist of four different models.

To answer your question: I think there could be a market for a limited run of special bodied Wraiths or even Phantoms. Bentley did a similar thing with Zagato and Rolls did the Camargue with Pininfarina, back in the 70s. Something more outstanding and glamourous than what's currently available. I can only hope they stay away from SUVs. I'm a Dutchie btw, but I live in Lisbon, Portugal.

Remember the Camrague very well - was understated but a clean design for back in the day . . . Aston is looking to continue that Zagato tradition as they displayed at Villa d'Este this year. Good comment . . . Thank you.

sorry to say they are jumping into the SUV market lol

I can always appreciate the beauty of the interior but honestly, no RR exterior grabs me. I am glad I am a coffee drinker!

I am from Canada and since you wanted to know - I think Rolls can easily sell a few roadsters - I mean with an extra long hood, 2 seats only, etc. As you are a design "freak" let me know about some of your ideas -perhaps you have some designs of your own?

How about a AWD electric version with some 21 century styling details. An interior style similar to the approach of Pagani Huayra. The polished / brushed aluminium or metal, touch of carbon, liberal use of leather. A sprinkling of LED displays and the torque & silence of electric drive. Just a thought :-)

To answer you Q I would really would love to see a Rolls Royce SUV-ish car. I'm from Vermont and I love take a Sunday drives don't get me wrong. But I do find my self on back roads in my Toyota Tundra, so I think a RR with a higher ground clearance and awd/4x4 would be nice. I think with RR it would need a new platform and right now that's just not going to happen. But God it would be nice. Tell me what you think Moto man I'd love to get your opinion. 👍

id say they have room for either a wagon or single seater speed machine. other than that they just have refinements to make on their future models. also from Nashville

I think the shooting brake (estate) is what they should release. Somewhere for the dogs and boxes of champagne.

A rolls Royce bodied Chiron would be awesome. Also awd on any of the current models

In America only An super luxury full ton super truck with a V-12 I think would be a smash hit and not I have no experience with Rolls Royce Ps are you going to get the Fait 124 spider and review that

You've not mentioned the Cullinan that Rolls is working on right now.....and I'm from good old Blighty

Race car...because a large 2 door coupe luxury sports car would be douchie and tacky but nice to see the spirit standing tall in the front.

MotoMan: I wonder how much that umbrella costs?

@MotoManTV

8 жыл бұрын

So funny you ask . . . The umbrellas are actually fitted as standard . . . HOWEVER - If you want the color keyed umbrella, that is an upcharge of US$1,300 . . . But they can be any color you want . . .

Just find it interesting that you always point out when a torque plateau begins at below 2000rpm (comically low). To me, 19 years old, this turbo engine behaviour is the norm. Frankly I'd be more impressed if I found a torque peak at 5500rpm because then it would have all of its powerband near the top. Maybe not good for street use but it would certainly feel more like an old Ferrari engine.

When Aston Martin made the Cygnet, no one bought it so I think Rolls Royce should learn from this lesson to stick what they're good at and diving into other categories would just dilute their image in my opinion

Really hoping they will update the entertainment system soon enough

I think there's anything wrong with the current entertainment system. Its disappointing to know that its the same unit found in a lesser BMW, but I think it lacks any key features nor is it laggy. Keep in mind tech isn't the main attraction in this type of car.

I feel an electric Rolls Royce that slots into the mid size car category would be phenomenal. If done similar to the Model S Tesla it would afford Rolls Royce to make a spacious and powerful car in a smaller footprint. It would also give them the opportunity to create a more modern styled car but with more restraint than its parent company, Bmw, had with the rather garish i-series. I live in the small yet rather wealthy city of Sarasota, Florida. Busy streets strapped for parking galore. A place where the compact/ mid size luxury car reigns supreme.

OK! It can be driven, there's a hidden motor in it, the doors open and close, the roof goes up and down ... GREAT! ... but ... what about the trunk? Also hidden?

I totally think Both Rolls and Bentley should get into electric cars, think about it, ultimate luxury, ultimate quietness, with the effortless torque to move 5000+ pound cars.

They already have quite heavy drivetrains, and new architectures inside their parent groups will allow the batteries to be integrated into the main frame of the chassis, yes, weight might go up a bit but the center of gravity would go down. A couple new materials here and there and... I don't think it is much of a penalty for such big cars.

I'm not a fan of the RR design language (not sure they really have one), their interiors are spectacular, but no interest in them. That said if Rolls made something like the Morgan Aero Coupe, a classic big sports car with fenders and lots of style, I think they might recapture a larger audience. I have no ideas about their financials, but I don't see Rollers anywhere near as often Bentleys. They may not want to increase their volume for all I know.

i would like to see a small sedan and small coupe priced right around $100K...it would appeal to younger buyers

I believe RR can design and produce performance orient vehicle that is faster than the Wraith. possibly like a pagani huayra. but in their own way with a lot of luxurious elements and better performance

ms, ross

It's not veeh but more like faaoouuh 12 in proper German :D

there should be a fastest crossover like Bentley in rolls Royce

Rolls Royce estate car!

5,000 and some pounds.... Wow.

A true sports car is another category that they could get into. Similar to a Aston Martin Vanquish.

I lost major respect for Rolls Royce after I found out they got rid of the Phantom Drophead Coupé...

I just hope they don't get into the SUV idiocy. everybody and their mother makes one and it's diluting the brand like nothing else. I'd be happy to see then make a V16 something though.

Nice car but, the interior doesn't impress me nearly as much as a Bentley.

Stop that yelling!!! I had to turn it right off.

have you realised that you get so few views when you unnecessarily talk too much?

I'm so sick of Rolls Royce, they're way too conservative. I'd be interested to see how many people buy this for the status rather than the actual design itself. To me this is the Hummer of the luxury car market. The chrome lining around the rear lights is one of the ugliest designs I have ever seen on a car. It looks really outdated. But no worries, I have nowhere near enough money to buy this car, so at the end of the day I don't know why it's bothering me so much!
