Designed for the individuals who sit within the back seat – who’re likely to have purchased it for – rather than the driver, the vehicle redefines the term sumptuous, using the finest hides, probably the most perfectly mirrored walnut, and soundproofing that’s better than in certain recording studios.

Built big to prove a place (the point being this is still the world’s finest motor car) the vehicle has some neat touches – like the badges in the wheel centres remaining the right way up, regardless of how fast the street wheels are spinning – but many of the technology is hidden from sight, that is as it needs to be with a Rolls-Royce.
