Who knows, we say see some variant of a BMW V12 diesel in the future. As others have stated, advancements in diesel technology are constantly improving now...so who knows what the upcoming Baby-RR will feature under it's lengthy hood.

As for this limited edition 'Peony' Phantom. It's good that RR are listening to their most valued customers and acting upon it. Being bespoke model, it sure is something special... especially due to the fact that these wealthy Middle East customers have approached RR to create such a car rather than some aftermarket firm. Really speaks volumes about how important it is to these customers to have RR-genuine vehicles.

If there ever was a sentiment that RR is in the same league as a Bentley, then RR's bespoke efforts have clearly highlighted that they are moving to an even higher level. I wonder if the baby-RR will be open to such bespoke editions, or be left fairly mainstream?

As for the exterior colours of this car. It's definitely not my cup of tea, but it does posses a certain level of sybolism, with the light blue/grey at the bottom representing white sand, the middle blue representing the ocean, and the lighter blue again at the top representing the sky .. or maybe I'm just looking too deep there..
