This is purely hypothetical. I am in no way looking to buy one of these cars (just going to be up front about that so there are no assumptions). Given the options, limitless resources, and a penchant for the finer things, which Ultra Luxury car would you choose?

Stipulations-

-MSRP of over 250k when optioned out.
-No sports sedans like Panamera, etc
-No SUV's
-No wagons


#1
Mercedes Maybach S650

#2
Bentley Mulsanne

#3
Rolls-Royce Phantom

#4
Rolls-Royce Ghost

Feel free to add any others I haven't thought of.

 

Rolls Royce above all.

 

I would take a Rolls Royce Phantom or the Bentley Mulsanne.

An S65 AMG would be nice too.

 

RR Phantom.

 

None. None of them is unique because it is based off of either a Benz, BMW or VW platform.

 

I would buy a Rolls Royce Phantom or a Bentley Mulsanne...

I like the looks of the Bentley better, but the ride and isolation of the Rolls would be tough to pass up.

 

Rolls Royce, Phantom, Ghost, and Wraith are all really nice, probably the most solid quality cars I have ever been in especially Phantom but I like the look and interiors of Bentley's more especially the Mulsanne, the Mulsanne is probably the sedan I would choose if I hit the lottery as it is a bit more of a drivers car too then the Rolls, I have always liked the Continental GT coupes too.

I liked the old Maybach 57 and 62 more then the current one which is basically just a stretched S class now with some added features, I don't think the new one is really worth the extra money over a loaded S class sedan, they look the same, the 57 and 62 were unique from a S class in most ways. A used Maybach 57 or 62 would definitely be a top choice for me for a ultimate luxury sedan.

I really like the Aston Martin Taraf/Lagonda, love the styling of it. That would be a top lottery win car though I have never seen one in person.

If you are including 2 doors I have to include the Bugatti Veyron and Chiron which I think fall more in line with luxury GT's then sports cars. I would love to see a 4 door Bugatti luxury sedan.

 

The Phantom VIII and Cullinan are built on a unique RR only platform. It ls not shared with BMW.

The RR Ghost wasn't on the OP's list. That uses a modified F01 platform but at the next redesign will shift to the AOL RR-only platform.

 

Oh ok. Still wouldnt take any of them cuz I will just look ridiculous in them.

 

I'd go back in time and have one of these rebuilt.

You simply cannot imagine how smooth and plush-riding the late-60s Continental was, unless you had a chance to drive one, like I did.

 

You're not following the rules:

 

Well, it just might (?) take 250K or more, in today's dollars, to custom-build (or re-build) one of those from scratch in a frame-off restoration.

If not, then I agree with several other posters, and would take the Rolls-Royce Phantom, hands-down.

 

What would it be then? C'mon, lets have it...

I am with you there. If I was going to drive it myself, Bentley all the way. Rolls if I have a driver. I mean honestly, how discernably different will the ride between a mulsanne a phantom be? splittling hairs here. But I LOVE the Bentley interior.

 

that's why you need one of these bad boys



even a rolls royce doesn't let you fully recline in the back seat like this does

 

it'd probably be the new phantom for me, i think they did a great job designing that.

i also always like the old maybach 62s as far as the coolest back seat goes. there's no more aston martin lagonda or anything so the list to choose from is pretty short lol.
