Rolls-Royce's "division wall" package for the extended-wheelbase Phantom limousine gives extra privacy for the occupants of the rear compartment.

It includes a drop-down screen for TV and DVDs, a coolbox, wood veneer picnic tables, leather document holders and special reading lights. It is made with wood veneers and leather, with a transparent section to maintain light into the compartment and an adjustable aperture so that one can speak to one's driver.

The extended-wheelbase Phantom is 250m longer than the standard car and it goes on sale in Japan this December, where it will cost from ¥48,000,000 (before tax). The Bespoke package with the division wall costs a further ¥4,926,000.

Japanese Rolls-Royce buyers are, according to the company, "among the most particular in the world and order the highest number of cars with bespoke features."

I assume they mean 250mm or 250cm (not 250m) longer.

lmao - hmmm.... I think you might be right with 250mm - even 250cm is ridiculous images/smilies/tongue.gif

^^^ Truth.

This thing is high class for sure, wouldn't mind riding around in one of these. I want to know what it gets on MPG.

Next up, the Rolls Royce "Division Bell", for washed up prog rock stars.
