Any takers.

    You know that it’s just a price, yeah? They can make up any price and slap on it. Kia could make a EV Sportage and put a $1.1million price tag on it.

    You are not paying for the car, you are paying for the “Rolls Royce” badges on the front and back.

    It’s more about making headlines and creating advertising via people like you cutting and pasting links to articles and doing their marketing work for them…

    • apey2000 on 14/09/2024 - 18:00

      whats the point of rolls royce advertising?

      • skillet on 17/09/2024 - 10:17

        BMW.

        • iand on 19/09/2024 - 15:03

          BMW are competing with Mercedes Rolls Royce are really only competing with Rolls Royce

          • klaw81 on 19/09/2024 - 17:42

            @iand: Rolls Royce is owned by BMW.

            Their main Bentley, high-end Mercedes (Maybach) and even to some extent, top end Audi and BMW products.

        totally, I actually didn't know about RR till now, and because of all this hype I just ordered 2.

        • rodericb on 15/09/2024 - 22:08

          Yes it is very persuasive - I'm ordering mine tomorrow. I don't know how I have lived this long without a Role Royce Sceptre!

      I'm really not sure these sorts of posts create any advertising Rolls Royce are really interested in… I mean I know we are all investment gurus but I hardly think most of us are the demographic for RR….

      • sareth on 15/09/2024 - 09:15

        We're exactly the demographic they want to advertise to. The only reason the rich buy rolls royces is to flex on the poors. If the poors don't get it, then there's no flex.

          1999 Toyota camry. For 1M you can buy about 320 of them.

      I thought that Lotus sounded a bit slow when I saw the 9.2s spec but checked the fine print and it's not 0-100 km/h it's 0-300 km/h.

      • CocaKoala on 15/09/2024 - 18:15

        It takes 8 seconds to reach 100, another second to reach 200 and just 0.2 seconds to reach 300 from there.

    • klaw81 on 17/09/2024 - 11:03

      You forgot a really important one: the Rimac Nevera: https://www.rimac-automobili.com/nevera/

      The starting price is about US$2.2m but there are plenty of options if you feel like splashing some extra cash.

      It holds a bundle of outright world records, and set 23 of them in a single day, including 0-400-0 km/h in 29.94s. It also holds the record for fastest car in reverse (275 km/h)

    Yep. You are correct.

    I've signed a deal with RR. I get 10% of everyone sold to an OzBargain member if they enter the code PEGAXS

    • MS Paint on 14/09/2024 - 09:27

      Code is not valid. You need to be an ozbargain platinum plus member.

      • pegaxs on 14/09/2024 - 09:51

        Worked for me… if you are a Premium Plus™ member, you can also try code “BUTTHURT” for a 12% off discount.

        • MS Paint on 14/09/2024 - 10:13

          Success! The code has been applied to your cart. Proceed to payment.

      Ignorance is a scourge, not EVs.

      Luxury vehicles like Rolls Royce are the perfect candidate for EVs. They're already heavy, and place a premium on quiet, smooth driving with mountains of torque - all areas where an EV drivetrain easily outperform even the most sophisticated ICE.
