Saw one at a car meet recently. Hosted next door to the RR dealer in Houston, so not a surprise. It’s a BIG CAR. The Starlight Headliner is one of the best car options of all time, IMO.

It's definitely much bigger in person. Problem is RR tried to save pennies where it can, like plastic buttons, cheap gear lever, digital instrument cluster.

I like it but the Taycan is annoyingly big so this would be a complete non starter around here.
Feel the same way. Last summer we stayed at a hotel in Austria where a lot of prototype test teams also stay - Including RR. I parked my ST next to the Spectre prototype and my car suddenly looked much smaller :D I didn't get a picture of them both though.

Because the forum includes a section called “Taycan versus …”, and Porsche is confident it can outsell RR.
They always have, why would this be any different? Heck, RR couldn't even produce enough cars even if every Taycan owner decided they want one.

It was my (by now) typical tongue-in-cheek remark, without the smartass emoji.

Saw this two-toned one in Las Vegas today in front of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel:

I find that strangely ugly and beautiful at the same time.

My brain doesn't know whether to like it or hate it?

And being a human that's a problem - as it wants to decide which of those two pigeon holes it needs to be stored in - for future reference whenever RR Spectre comes up in conversation. ?
