  | The right way to Roll(s): Phantom stretch limo by Mutec  The Rolls-Royce Phantom makes people stop what they're doing and wonder A.) what celebrity you are, B.) why you look so different in person than you do on television, and C.) what the hell you're doing at the local Dairy Queen. We got a taste of this last Summer. It's fun. If the standard Phantom is not enough of an attention-getter for you, Mutec will take your car, add a divider behind the front seats, and stretch it an additional 1100mm (43 inches) to make it a proper limousine. This also makes it the approximate length of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, but what do you care? You won't be driving anyway. You'll be in back with three friends (or celebrities, or world leaders, or captains of industry), enjoying the revamped, face-to-face 4-seat configuration while you sip bubbly, broker multimillion-dollar handshake deals and gossip about how Jay-Z's Maybach is so completely pedestrian.        http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/03/the-right-way-to-roll-s-phantom-stretch-limo-by-mutec/

| Re: The right way to Roll(s): Phantom stretch limo by Mutec Fine, but be careful with your legs...Not much space...  On the other hand, it's cool to put your legs on the seat in front of you if nobody sits here...and if you take you shoes off...

Thought the same!! I would have really problems with my legs! Not very comfortable. I think - sounds stupid I know - a Volkswagen T5 Multivan Business. You got lots of space, even for your legs and it's much cheaper. And it doesn't look like it is expensive and rare - so it would be my choice!

| Re: The right way to Roll(s): Phantom stretch limo by Mutec Looks like a bus or a Sante Fe railcar. I didn't read the article because I don't want to know the price of all tihs. M

| Re: The right way to Roll(s): Phantom stretch limo by Mutec I like it, but the interior is too cramped. They have the old white Rolls limos rolling around whenever you see a wedding, so why not bring it up to date.

| Re: The right way to Roll(s): Phantom stretch limo by Mutec Glad I'm not the only one that likes it! But yes, the interior is way to cramped. If you had all 4 seats occupied, the people siting across from each other would be rubbing knees.

| Re: The right way to Roll(s): Phantom stretch limo by Mutec I saw one of these beauties at International Plaza. IT IS GORGEOUS, leg room or not, it's stunning! I could not help but to park my C-class by it... it looked like a wind-up-toy!
