They wanted to sell 600 cars each year in the States, 1000 in the world;

I think they sold a bit more than 1000 cars, but since the launch (not sure of that though) ...

RR sells a lot more, that can't be denyed. It is so obvious that Benz does not dare to publish the numbers... Too bad, the car is very good. Just not really beautiful, lacking self-estime and wow-factor, and looking like a big fat S-Class...


Concerning the base, yeah, based on the W140 base, a car that was launched in 1991; because it can wear the insane weight of the Maybach, whereas the W220 base could not... It is nevertheless the best handling and moqst comfortable limo in the world!!!
