I swear, I was about to put downpayment on a Bentley Flying Spur! ... that is, indeed, its main rival. The Mulsanne & Maybach 62 have the Phantom. My god. This car is gorgeous. I now have to retrieve my chin from the floor & mop up the drool. Its obviously going to be more expensive than the AP-import Bentley, right? Looks like I'll be putting the house up for a mortgage before I own this. But when I do, I'll send it to you, so your faithful readers can enjoy a full review. ... but not before you enjoy those bull-hides! Mr. Tan!

The Phantom has the power reserve meter too. At start up and when the engine is lightly loaded, power reserve will be max. Check out the video. When the car is cruising at low speed, power is max at 95-100%. video time @ 1.47 Yes. The Phantom has the power reserve meter too.

Shows you how much of the engine's power (not range as you probably thought) is left. Not new though, as with the brolly, was available on the Phantom. jonny blaze is correct.

As the car accelerates and gather speed, more and more power will be used up, so the meter's needle will gradually drops. At start up, the power meter will show 100% power in reserve.

Why put it inside the door panel? You have to open the door first. In a torrential rain like we have here, you'll get drenched first before you got any chance to pull the umbrella out. And not to mentioned - those leathers and lambswool floormats!!! Oppss I forgot.. this car is chauffeured... and it won't stop in the middle of nowhere. The only place it will park is infront of grand mansions and palaces. The umbrella is a nice feature… but poorly executed. Why put it inside the door panel? You have to open the door first.

They ask us to buy home made product but they aren't do as what they speak. No good leadership example here. I know local product quality is not as to our standard but help them to improve their quality to be as good as others. We are only being independance for 52 years compared to them.
