Rolls Royce have shown their LWB Phantom with a divider.



I think Rolls-Royce have done a better job in the past.

Phantom V


Mulliner Park Ward Silver Spur Limousine


1999 Silver Spur Limousine


Bentley Arnage Limousine

Meh it looks a bit bulky if you ask me... and the glass for some reason looks like plastic, because of the way it's shaped. I'd have one without, doesn't matter what goes on in the car, nothing to hide.

Not nice looks like the protection glass around hockey rinks..

Not that great. As I posted in another thread, I'd rather they make it retractable, and also able to be made opaque, whether through a cover or through electrochromatic glass like various sunroofs. Neither does it look that elegant.

I would have thought that a LWB Phantom would have enough room for them to make it 'flat' - ie, doesn't have to bulge out to accommodate the front seats. I think that's the culprit, otherwise a flat divider would be much easier to make retractable or with another covering layer.

As for looks, it is a little uninspiring, if at least neat. The Phantom V and the Silver Spur are my favourites there.

Maybach did a much better job with the divider - I don't think it is great, but it is far superior to the Phantom's IMO.


As far as I'm concerned, it is very remiss of Rolls-Royce not to have a fully retractable glass window for the divider.

Yeah. I'm not that keen on the design of the Maybach's divider, though it is a little better than the latest Phantom's, IMO (not to start an argument though), but the frosted look with retractable ability is definitely a need. The functionality is much better, pretty much exactly what I had in mind I suppose.

The little porthole on the Phantom's might be somehow traditional, but in this day and age I'd say it's more an anachronism, and unforgiveable. You might not need the interior to be a gadget-fest, but this is silly.

I sure if you asked RR, or a different company, they'd make what ever you wanted!

I would hope so. Then again, for that car, and for that price, I don't think it's too much for me to expect that they could have got it right first time.

The Arnage RL has the best rear seat setup if you ask me.

Well that goes without saying but I still think a fully retractable glass partition is the standard expectation - with this you have to scream instructions to your driver though a little aperture - very 1930's

I agree whole-heartedly SV
