The verdict

What's good

  • Gallery dashboard with illuminated art panel is unlike any rival interior
  • Magic Carpet Ride suspension is the benchmark for large-car isolation globally
  • Bespoke commission options allow personalization at a depth competitors cannot match
  • Black Badge darkened trim gives a sportier presence without losing the gravitas

What's not

  • Reported electronics reliability issues in owner forums for this generation
  • Dealer network is extremely sparse making service logistics genuinely inconvenient
  • Rear visibility is very limited requiring heavy reliance on camera systems
  • Depreciation curve in first three years is steeper than Bentley equivalents

The engine

6.75L Twin-Turbo V12

6.75L Twin-Turbo V12

Rolls-Royce's 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 is engineered for silence and a tidal wave of low-rev torque — it never strains, delivering effortless 'waftability' with the tachometer barely stirring.

The 6.75-liter displacement is a Rolls-Royce tradition dating to 1959; this BMW-derived V12 is hand-built and deliberately detuned for serenity rather than headline power.
