Another special edition Rolls-Royce for the Middle East
Yes, this is a Mirage, but no, you're not seeing things. Following hot on the heels of the Peony edition Phantom, Rolls-Royce is introducing yet another special edition of the uber-luxury saloon exclusively for Middle Eastern customers.
Official details aren't available yet, however the Mirage edition Phantom is reportedly named after a famous Arabian horse. It can be had in either black or white, and features 21" wheels, special tailpipes, a carbon fiber interior (yeah, we're serious) and a special emblem stitched into the headrests and assuredly emblazoned elsewhere around the luxury land-yacht. Of course, like the name Phantom Mirage might suggest, the performance image is all smoke and mirrors, with no actual mechanical changes made over the standard model. But like the likewise sporting-pretentious Maybach 57 Landaulet, you can bet buyers will be paying a considerable premium for this special edition.

The Middle East will be sending us food very soon.

For some reason, Rolls-Royce cars don't seem to me as being as tasteful as Bentley's cars.
(just my opinion)

On the road the Phantom is MUCH more imposing than the Bentley. Photos don't really do the Phantom justice.
I realize that "Imposing" is not the same as "tasteful" but good or bad, the Phantom definitely has more presence on the road, and in this market (especially in regard to the middle east) that is a huge plus.

I agree about Rolls not being as tasteful as Bentley. The Phantom is only imposing because it makes a Ford Excursion look small.

Bentley's look a hell of a lot better. They don't have those tiny headlights on a giant front end with the turn signals that look like Milhouses's eyebrows.

compared to the rest of the exclusive stuff marketed for the middle east - this is extremely restraint

Next thing you know they will feature a Gucci edition with Vogue tires. Tasteless.
