i actually think its the opposite. i think they HAVE to make it expensive otherwise nobody would buy it. if its not expensive their cilientele thinks "nah thats too cheap". i could be wrong but im absolutely convinced that this is how some (most?) super rich people think. they only buy this to show off. and if its not expensive enough, they cant show off. like porsche people do with their PTS shit.

8:15 You don't have to push the button. If you rest your finger on the button the display will indicate what feature it has been assigned to. It is subtle-tech that many may not be aware. Even my $500 Ableton Move groovebox has this feature, which is handy as the knobs at the top change feature depending on the mode or tone played, and touching but not pressing allows you to see what the button does (and quite possibly the setting) without adjusting it.

[@NickMusB]

The 8 buttons on the dash are touch sensitive. When you slightly touch them with your finger on the screen it will light up what that button does. You can then press the button to select that option. Radio station, Home Address Preset, Spirit of Ecstasy raise & lower, etc. To close either door there are dedicated buttons on the passager side on the center console, next to the iDrive selector.

@@mikenewbold1699 sorry but that’s not true. I work in manufacturing in the car industry. It’s a combination of multiple factors that would have meant they carried over the digital displays, cost being one, the electrical architecture being based on the BMW system being another. There’s a reason why the Cullinan which has just been facelifted and has moved over to the latest model year electric architecture also now has the digital dash. It’s way more integral to the vehicle systems than you realise. There are a number of vehicle features and systems that were designed to display on a digital dash. Reverting that to an analogue system is not just a case of transferring the system to analogue dials. If you want analogue dials they would have needed to design the entire system around it, come up with other means of displaying relevant information which those digital displays now also display.

[@JamesYoung61]

I can't remember whose channel I first saw the Spectre but I thought then what a perfect way to push a Rolls Royce, quiet and effortless is the Rolls Royce way but I don't think that back then anybody thought that it would have dynamic prowess. Thanks Harry, as always you have the review I want to see.

[@itspart]

Can't really imagine that charging outside McDonald's for 4 hours while you have a Mc fluffy... 😂

[@chrispenn715]

Bit of a challenge getting in and out at Tesco's car park 😂

[@chriswalford9228]

And Tesco's have wider than most bays but probably alright outside Harrods

[@stevepitts7998]

Just park in the mother and baby bays, like Mercedes drivers do 😉

[@markgilbertson1564]

I imagine most RR owners have someone to do their shopping.

[@kevinbray9550]

£444k ?. Obscene & ostentatious . I think Harry paid £4k for his Shadow which I'd rather have. The Spirit of Ecstasy on the Sceptre alone is £3800.

[@jamesallison4875]

Exactly.

[@isambardchisilwitt1232]

Me too.

[@Scraggy33]

Cheap by modern Ferrari standards

[@rare6499]

How is that any different to say a brand new Ferrari? It’s always cooler to drive around in an older car anyhow…

[@chrishb7074]

Depreciation so horrifying that you couldn’t take seriously anyone who chose it to be competent in any part of managing a business or an investment portfolio.

[@Htfsik]

I have no idea why I watched this as I’ll never be able to buy one even when fully depreciated. But it’s a good review.

[@The_Car_Gods_7814]

Harry. On the centre console next to the I-Drive there are 2 rocker switches that operate both driver and passenger door close assist.

[@Phil99330]

Makes a smaller spirit of ecstasy but keeps giant rear view mirrors…🤔

[@componick6393]

Silly putty pink? Imagine chucking £450k at a car and waking up to that every morning.

[@SDK2006b]

People buying this don’t care - £450k doesn’t even register. They likely have a fleet of high end cars, a helicopter, private jet, luxury yacht and all managed by a team of staff.

[@tacfoley4443]

Actually, YOU don't wake up, somebody is paid to do it for you.

[@RankoSD84]

24k for a paint job, yeah this whole vehicle is a scam, but I guess the people who can afford it don't really care about the price...

[@lcwpg]

my friend you just cant afford it lol

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

Very good for UK exports. They have always been hugely expensive. My 1975 Bentley cost £12,900 with 15% discount. Rear picnic tables were a £100 extra !

[@stephenharrison7514]

"If you have to ask the price, then you can't afford it " really does apply to this car.

[@pc750-V4]

Scam is not the right word... Its just a very expensive luxury car... Not a scam

[@GunsAndRovers]

@@lcwpgEven if I were filthy rich I wouldn’t buy this. And I think most wealthy people who EARNED their wealth as opposed to being BORN into it wouldn’t either. Residual value after 3 years with an average of 5K miles driven per year is 180K pounds. You will save over 250K pounds and get the same vehicle with only 15K miles on the clock. Not to mention it is electric--a Rolls Royce replacement battery pack must be astronomical.

[@s1914]

What’s that strange looking RR vehicle next to it at 20:10 ??

[@jackjoyce1744]

Cullinan

[@bgielink]

Nice review Harry, 2 comments: 1) The button for closing the passenger door can be found in the middle console, you need to keep it “pulled” for closing the door. 2) you can see the function of the shortcut buttons by touching (but not pressing) them. If you glide your finger over them the shortcut function will appear on screen

[@jamesallison4875]

PS. Best comments ever. Very amusing.

[@theusefulchannel]

I typed in Depreciation and it brought me here 😂😂

[@oldrrocr]

you should also do a search for "making taxpayers pick up the tab"

[@wcads623]

If you worry about depreciation, you can't afford one 🤣🤣

[@edjohn4590]

I doubt the owners care about depreciation 😆

[@ne0ne0]

I do appreciate this car though.

[@alcampbell5831]

No frunk? That's a little surprising on such a large vehicle.

[@colinallan1962]

It would seem that the visibility is like looking out of a slot in a pillar box. Makes you realise how brilliant the Shadow was,

[@NighteeeeeY]

Harry you can close the passenger door automatically when holding the "close window" button in the center console. Of course you can do it as a passenger or as the driver too.

[@michaelfraser5723]

Imagine Rolf Harris in one, or his friend, James Savile

[@andywright1634]

It's almost like they were trying to show off...............

[@DaveGreeneramblingcarpenter]

😂😂,

[@S-Ltd1000]

😂😂 have another.

[@UpTheAnte1987]

I once saw Rolf Harris being dropped off at a gallery in Edinburgh in a red Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II in the early 90s. A tourist walking by stopped and had a good feel of the Spirit of Ecstasy. The chauffeur then got out and tried to buff it up with his own hands, which I found rather amusing.

[@Cheifo22]

Imagine what age the passangers would of been

[@brianiswrong]

I would like to see one in a colour combo you could drive in daylight. 😢

[@oldrrocr]

🤣🤣🤣 I thought hideous two-tone color combinations was a trademark of RR... but I loved mine.

[@oldrrocr]

just deleting all the comments you don't like?

[@stevehowell231]

Looks a bit like the 'Never Copy' new jaGuar.

[@seanmcdermott5260]

For closing passenger door, use pull up switch on centre consol

[@richardm2661]

An impressive beast. Can’t believe how quick it picks up for almost 3 tonnes.

[@sideshowbob32]

Am I the only one that likes the colour? 😂

[@jonm2884]

yes

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

I have always liked purple.

[@otm646]

It's one of those colors that looks a lot better in person. Plus the lighting in the garage really does it a disservice. Maybach has a similar color in two tone with cream and it's quite nice up close.

[@deansmits006]

The customer is always right, in matters of taste

[@Ultratoast01]

Love the new driveway exit shot.

[@TheJohn8765]

Good point about the enhancement brought by electric for the brand. The range isn't that important for the RR clients as they aren't doing road trips in their Spectre. They have another car for that...and staff :)

[@dukeallen432]

Opposite, Rolls are the perfect long distance cars. Except this one.

[@jjrdias]

That's a very "green" mentality ... Good lord.

[@ricksallotment5923]

Now that's a proper car review Harry. A skinfull of a car review indeed.

[@ianmedium]

This would look fantastic in the 1913 ghost Alpine trial livery, baby blue to the bottom and silver to the top, dark blue leather with unpolished mahogany woodwork!
