this year, mostly for the novelty value of its intimidating styling, hedonistic excess and outrageous 323,700 euro ($405,000+ USD; 480,000+ CAD) sticker price, there will be some current Phantom owners intrigued by the prospect of enhanced legroom when the new XXXL model launches at this month's IAA show in Frankfurt.

infotainment system, although Rolls-Royce customers will have the luxury of actually enjoying either of its six-inch monitors fixed to the back of each front headrest. Other available conveniences include a beverage cooler as well as a cigar humidor.

Along with the Phantom LWB, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will spice up its show stand with two additional Bespoke Phantoms featuring a variety of new temptations. The first is an all-black regular wheelbase Phantom featuring Jasmine-coloured coach-lines, plus some customized additions inside such as Black Tulip wood veneer incorporating Mother of Pearl inlay, plus black carpets and Jasmine leather seats to mirror the outside colour scheme. Blue chrome accents were added to give the car even greater uniqueness. A cooler has also been fitted, below the lounge-style rear seat.
