The Phantom is just classic luxury. Exterior-wise, it can't be beat. While the interior isn't as ridiculously high-tech as the Maybach's, it's just following the Rolls Royce trend.
i do prefer the continental gt, but its apples and oranges. ones a car to drive, the other is a car youre driven in.
Theres a old lady that drives a new Phantom in my town that I see driving around once inawhile.. Shes old as hell.. probaly in her 70's or 80's.. Must be nice to have one! It even comes with an umbrella in the door 
Phantom's umbrella in the door vs. Maybach's airplane recliner seats and built-in refrigerator... it looks like some people want the umbrella pretty badFataldawg said:It even comes with an umbrella in the door
Seriously, all of that shit is pretty neat... I was excited to have a sunglasses holder in my car, I'd bust a nut with a tenth of those features in those ultra-luxury cars.
The Phantom is too gaudy. And the Continental GT has no point to it. TopGear was right, you want the Flying Spur. Much better package.

Aye, the Spur looks damn good for a 4 door saloon (better than the GT imo anyway) and would almost be my car of choice as decadence mobile, were it not for Maybachs.
Still, it must be fun doing 300+ in a big, hefty 4 door saloon like that. To my knowledge the only 4 door (in production at least) that'll go that fast.

you''d have to rip off the limiters first, tho, but yeah they definitely have the potential.
Those limiters on the Ms and AMGs are really holding back a lot of potential. Even the old supercharged V-8 AMGs were capable of 200 mph when the limiters were completely removed. I know that those ones (particularly the SL55) could have the limiter bumped up to 186 mph but no higher because the stock tires can't handle higher speeds. Even the current BMW M5 hit 200 mph when it was still undergoing development.
the ones that really suffer are the SL65, S65, and CL65 because they have crazy potential and are the performance versions. those things are really capable and are held back. i can imagine going from a standstill and running all the way to 155mph only to feel like i hit a wall. especially knowing it can do more 
True... and keep in mind that those engines are still restrained due to the transmission not being able to handle more torque. With the same engine but without the ECU limiting boost paired with a suitable transmission that can handle more torque (7-speed DSG in the Veyron, perhaps?), I'm sure that a fully unleashed AMG V-12 can clear 210 mph, depending on which Benz the motor is in along with its aerodynamics.C.R.Y. said:the ones that really suffer are the SL65, S65, and CL65 because they have crazy potential and are the performance versions. those things are really capable and are held back. i can imagine going from a standstill and running all the way to 155mph only to feel like i hit a wall. especially knowing it can do more
