Anyone Know This Car?

Interesting spec- especially the Nightvision

No Pan roof though?

Am tempted to push the button on it, once assuming the provenance is all in order...

TIA

Comfort seats, yuk.

[RS6chris!]

Nice spec TBF.


Not sure on seats though?

[feeltheburn]

The comfort seats look awful- the rest of the car looks good though. The seats were a big attraction for me (shallow though that sounds) if only they had done the hexagon Alcantara ones when I ordered mine
Don't worry about the pano-roof, waste of money imo and only serves to illuminate a thining crown or bald spot

Looks good in Phantom, dont see many as they changed the black shortly after.
Also noticed that the knee pads and door cards are leather rather than Alcantara, was that a facelift change?

[Iain]

Cheers guys for the replies - was thinking the same about the seats, but I guess when my Ar5e in sat in them I can't see the hexagon trim; was more concerned about no Pan roof come resale time......just awaiting a call back from them....

[doodlebug]

Comfort seats will affect resale, not the roof.

[Iain]

Thanks for that - helps make up my mind tbh

Cheers doodlebug!!

Never mind the seats, buy the car then put some decent seats in it:

Buckets not a bit pointless in a luxobarge? I get them in a GT3, but the sports seats are sufficient IMO.

I had also thought that the Alcantara door cards/knee pads was a facelift change. It seems not though. Many (most?) facelift cars have Alcantara but certainly not all:

This one does:

This one doesn't: (Nice car other than that, saw it and drove it a few days back, just needs some c/f mirror caps.)

Quite the opposite in my opinion. Te 6 can go round bends but it rolls a lot and the super sport seats are really unsupportive so I find my butt sliding on the bottom of the seat. Sme nice tight buckets are just what we need to stop us sliding around in the big boat. I imagine a GT3 or similar corners quite flat so less sliding, but yes I get it goes round the corner a lot faster than the 6...

I've been using the B7 over the weekend, man those seats are nice and snug. I forgot how little support the 6 seats have.

The comfort seats have inflating side bolsters and I found them to have as much lateral support as the supersports seats (if you crank the bolsters right up, that is). Great thing is that they deflate as you turn the ignition off and reinflate when you get back in the car, so no creasing on the bolsters.

Alcantara door trims came in at MY16, not the Facelift.

It says Panther, not Phantom.

One thing that's pissing me off is that comfort seats have A/C and Sport ones don't...it would make more sense that more expensive seats have them, I mean how hard was to make them perforated...

Aha!
