It looks awful. How that got signed off is beyond me.

Because it's huge, vulgar, tacky, flashy and preposterously expensive.
Who do you think it's targeted at Alex?

I just can’t see past that rear wheel being so offset in the arch. Regardless of if it’s in some super duper offroad mode, a company like RR should not be settling for that.

Amen to that. It's wrong. It's WROOOOOOOONG!!

That wheel arch gap is odd, especially being shown alongside the quote from the guy saying the architecture allows him to put the roof and wheels one exactly the right place.
I quite like it otherwise, as a luxurious way to travel, apart from in black. Though is it worth double (I'm guessing) a top of the range Range Rover which itself doesn't exactly lack a feeling of luxury?

I don’t think the wheel arch gap looks bad in its usual mode. God knows why they released photos jacked up like that, but any car with air suspension looks odd jacked up. Even a Discocunt.

I don't think it looks too bad in this colour.
Better than a Bentayga or an Urus anyway.
I wouldn't have one over a Range Rover but 600 lb-ft of torque at 1600rpm would be fun in a muddy field .

It's a bit meh. It's just too conventional with a nice but tried and tested interior.
For £250k I want the body to be in carbon, no B pillar (so totally open like the Aston concept), 800hp electric drivetrain with a 400 mile range and a proper wow interior.
This just seems like it's out of date. Meh

And jet packs, and rocket launchers and it should be a submarine .

Now that's just silly. How would the jet packs work when under water!

Exactly. Keep it realistic FFS.

Actually I agree with no B pillar and it wouldn’t be hard to implement as BMW already have the tech to do it. That picture with the doors open just looks wrong as the entry space into the rear door seems way too tight for something like a Rolls Royce.
Also don’t see how it can possibly go anywhere a Range Rover can if it has the usual crap X drive system and no locking diffs.

I've seen a few Bentaygas now and they look decent. Part of me wants one.
Wife would love a Bentayga. I like them, but there are plenty of other things on the list before I’d spend that much on an SUV!
The Rolls is very disappointing, but I guess UK taste is a very small consideration compared to how it goes down in Asia and the Middle East.
Christ, just imagine how much damage that would do to the front of your house when she inevitably reverses into it

Goodwood just put a video up; it looks much more impressive in video. I’m guessing the design has to hide plenty of things and be capable of being armoured.

Are we talking about the RR Canyonero still or is this in reference to your rebuilt porch?
