760iL competing against Flying Spur .. no i don't think so .. RR should have a direct competitor to the FS ...

But the FS is the cheapest Bentley saloon ever - I don't think BMW need to compromise the carefully cultivated image of Rolls-Royce by so obvioulsly and directly competing against Bentley - afterall, a Rolls-Royce is supposedly in a "league of it's own".

BTW - what does the FS truly offer that the S class and 7er don't?

The flying B badge.

Other than that, perhaps exclusivity.

They don't want to make this smaller RR too close to the Phantom in terms of price!

I think that if it were to be slightly more expensive than the Flying Spur, and a Coupe would sell well! Do you think RR is a brand which could sell a GT coupe??

Considering the Flying Spur has over 100bhp more than the Phantom, what bhp do you think the smaller RR will have?

When you get into a Bentley / Rols Royce there is a different status thing going on at that point, otherwise its not a biggie.

I'm sure if this goes into production it's supposed to go against the GT but for some reason they just don't compete, in the looks department anyway... GT is supposed to be sporty, but this Phantom coupe is just the epitomy of a grand tourer.

Whether that's good or bad, I have no idea

Well this probably will not go in to production because it's just some person's private PS - but it is interesting anyway.

BTW. What do you guys think of the LWB Phantom interior with the divider?

Very slick PS. Hmmm the divider is indeed very old fashion but I don't like it, it looks too bulky. Beside that I think that divider should have some curtain if for example the passanger don't want to be seem doing dirty stuff with a misstress. Since this is the RR phantom that can probably be arranged in some way.
