Hi Sam, just purchased one of your black STG t shirts. My first bit of Merch from you coming. Keep up the great videos as always 👍🏼👏🏼

[@Lucan-ve6zc]

Great video. Sam is one of the best. Whatever the situation, the content's brilliant. Apologies to those who like it. I thought that the car was, at best, described as ghastly. No doubt the drive is good. Which it should be for the money. It had all the style of a Greggs sausage roll. Vegan or otherwise.

[@truckatadders]

I've seen a couple out on the road, and i love the proportions compared to the wraith, in that colour/spec i think it's a stunning car ❤😍

[@Simon_PieMan]

Wow, that hotel sure is RR prices - lovely though. Great car and video.

[@conner.9262]

Great video Sam, car is sensational, obviously there are glimpses of the Wraith due to its coup styling, the vertical rear lights are sheer class, the whole car is class…. My lottery winning car also…. Yes please.

[@chrishewson40]

absolutely love it, perfect, exactly how I'd have it. I'd happily buy the one your driving as it is.

[@iantovey7132]

Great review yet again Sam. What a car!

[@TomOKelly-he5js]

Great video as always To the car, dream stuff unless you have an enormous bank balance. For daily use. at leas tin London. Size will likely be an issue - its longer and wider than the parking bays. So, even perfectly parked your going to get tickets by the bucket load...... Yup if one can buy the car, one can afford the fines but the hassle involved is likely too much for someone busy enough to be able to afford one.....

Amazing to get this STG !!!! On trial. Seen one in Alderley riding past. Does look like old Phantom Coupe in form factor. Aha. Watching video. You mentioned it. That and the fact listened POD other day and probably said it there too. What a chunk of car. Purple really suits it. Brightens up the UK a little

[@suspiciousafternoon]

thanks to the algorithm for recommending me this review! The purple is just perfect

Excellent video Sam, more to this car than just a power train swap clearly. So will this type of driving tune come to the i5?

Nice! Could consider it if it had a grand glass rooftop.

There are a bunch of these around Beverly Hills, California. Beautiful car! I like the adventurous plum color! All of the rain in England (just like Seattle, Washington) reminds me NOT to visit there until mid-MAY!! 🤔😎👍

[@r.p.3192]

Beautiful monster of technology… Luxury on a very high voltage👍

[@thomasleworthy5613]

I sat in one of these at Salon Prive last year and I was shocked they left the indicator stalk and gear selector finished in plastic. Every other review of this car, including this one, has shown it is like this in all the cars. Rolls Royce even managed to wrap and stitch leather around them except for the part you actually touch. I'm probably not in any position to complain as I am in no position to buy one but you cant help but feel disappointed that they missed a detail.

[@Alex42069420athered]

I love the car love the colors inside and out, but one this I think they missed was the color of the seatbelts. If your going to be bold with other elements having them purple change the belts as well

[@robt8620]

I enjoyed driving my 2010 Phantom Coupe which was compared to the spectre about 13cm longer but 3 cm narrower... the size would shrink around you

[@OppoA-un1ut]

Very good!

[@towerdave4836]

Never thought I’d want a Roller. ……Until now. I’ve watched loads of videos about the Spectre. This is the best and now I’ve finally decided I want one. However, in common with other “ I want” cars, I’ll never have enough to justify the cost and my life style wouldn’t know what to do with it. Maybe just looking at I and sitting in it would be enough!

[@Alex_Fung]

Does this have rear wheel steering to make turning easier in the city? Does Sam actually message back? Just curious.

[@NJRacer623]

Great video man! Not really a fan of the white with purple combo, but white with tan would've just been gorgeous. Overall really handsome car though. I wonder what Bentley's response to this will be?

[@simonsauter3229]

It’s the Rolls Royce for Miami. I like it 👍

[@nealjoyce8696]

Lol

[@hudsonspecialistcarsltd]

Looks perfect as a EV - only negative I could throw would be the interior, very little change from a 2010 Ghost.. would have thought RR might have updated / been slightly braver.. perhaps look at the Bentley Continental interior as a comparison, far more tech, details & design flare.

[@natbarron]

24:56 My guess is Sam was blasting Led Zeppelin or Metallica hence the loss of voice mid video

[@tomling9310]

It really is lovely, one of the one EVs I'd have right now. Now I need to find half a million!

[@Bmontepeque11]

Ah yes, the most unbelievable, most spectacular EV released to this day. 🧐💜 This car is a masterclass in how to make the transition to EV. No futuristic or techy nonsense, just do what you have been doing to this day just with batteries instead of with petrol :)

It's a fabulous machine and worthy of the R/R name. Wouldn't mind seeing it with dark blue paint replacing the purple livery, the interior is sheer car pr0n :) Thanks for posting!

[@roblogan6703]

The really nice thing about EV's is that they don't require the kind of maintenance that an ICE car does, and I remember a lot of people saying that's why they don't like the other RR cars. No oil change, no transmission to deal with. I think that's its biggest selling point over the others.

[@gregorygant4242]

Um ,yeah ,ok until that battery gives up then that's 100 K to replace thank you very much !

[@roblogan6703]

@@gregorygant4242 $100k? Yeah, I mean this is RR. I was talking about EV's in general. I have a Tesla Model Y and it's only like $12k at most, which I don't ever anticipate having to replace mine unless I keep it for 20 years.

[@gavinsullivan9015]

One pedal driving is the best thing about EV’s otherwise the power trains are exceedingly well suited to town driving and are otherwise completely characterless in whatever application they’re used. Although the Hyundai N jobby is apparently doing a good job of trying to fix that

Nice thumbnail! ....I drove right past you as you were setting up the camera. I'm lucky enough to live on the private estate. Tbh, I was full of mock and scorn as I drove by. A purple roller?! Now I know....makes more sense for a press car. I can appreciate the colour but it's pretty lairy. Couldn't believe it when I saw the thumbnail! I would have stopped briefly to say hi. Been watching for years. FYI, there are some even better thumbnails to be had on the other side of the lake. If you're down this way again, feel free to reach out. But anyway, great review.
