[pictures] Bentley Arnage RL vs. Rolls Royce Phantom vs. Maybach 62 S

Fantastic.

Do you know I have been looking for new pictures of that Arnage limousine for so long ....it is a lot prettier than the other two. All three cars look amazing in those pictures.

I agree with you. I think that lighter-colour wood (light-oak in the Bentley) is not nice at all. But I assure you, any perceptions of "cheapness" begin and end there -- the wood work in the Bentley particularly, is crafted with exceptional care and attention to detail.

There is only one choice for me here though ....it's the Phantom without a doubt.

Great pics. They all look nice and came with individual pack, so it’s very difficult to say which is better or nicer. My choice would be RR for its stylish exterior and more choices for prettier "woody" interior.

Should have made this a poll....

VERY NICE CHOICES....

Love the Arnage interior, amazing, preffer the Phanton exterior becasue of its aggresiveness overall, but the interior is the blandest of the three....

Thus my choice, the Super stunning Maybach 62 S. Holy Sh*t, that is one hot car exterior and interior combined...

Especially the white one Mr.Ree chose to display... WOW... Perfect for my
type of drive and style.

Great thread, thanks!!!

It seems like both RR and Maybach understands that to create a luxury interior, you don't have to cover every single inch of the interior with wood, like the Bentley. It is just too excessive, and the overall effect is that they simply want to put the maximum amount of wood in there

[SDNR]

^^But that is the way Rolls and Bentley have always done it ...it is one of the virtues of the brand -- I think this particular blond colour wood is not the most elegant choice. The Arnage is actually looking very out-of-date ...and the Maybach is charmless to me.

I agree with Alex that the Rolls interior looks bland in the pictures ...but it certainly in not bland IRL.

Besides, there are plenty of options one can get in the Rolls to make it more interesting. And the Rolls has individual TVs (unlike the Bentley) and larger than the Maybach's.

Bentley for me, no doubt....Stunning car. The only one that appeal to me.
But with a darker wood please!

It is old-fashioned, like I like. Not harsh or aggressive looking like the Rolls, not cold-modern like the MM...Just perfect. Old-school limo.

The MM interior looks busy, with things everywhere without any design or order in that pic...But the seats, roof-dials and glass-roof are just amazing.

In these cars, a chauffeur-separation is absolutely imperative.

But the Rolls was the SWB, no? Looks so small at the rear compared to the Bentley (I won't speak of the MM here ). And yes, quite blank-looking interior compared to the two others.

Imo it lacks the old-fashioned authenticity, the fabulous wood work, the massive impression of the Bentley, but it does not have the equipment, unique features and modernity of the MM.

Thanks a lot for the pics of the Bentley, so hard to find in LWB!

[SDNR]

^^It is the LWB Phantom.

Which features does the Phantom lack exactly? ...as far as I'm aware it extends only to the fully-reclining air-conditioned seats, and the electrochromatic glass roof. According to all reviews, the Rolls has an absolutely amazing entertainment system with unsurpassed sound quality.

In all actuality, the Phantom is state-of-the-art, the production process of the Phantom is more advanced than that of the Maybach.

Plenty of room in there:



Thanks for the thanks guys. You are far too generous

[Merc1]

Wow, thanks for the pics Ree.

Bentley for me too. It just looks the most authentic here.

^^^^Oh no, you're not getting off that easily Marcus.

How is the Bentley more authentic than the Rolls or Maybach? ...you are beginning to sound like Raoul.
