Bentley Flying Spur
Nothing will turn heads like Bentley’s brightest shining star, the Flying Spur, with its opulent exterior and even more luxurious interior. The comfort of a spacious cabin with top-of-the-line detailing makes it feel as good as it looks. Premium leather, natural wood, high-quality aluminum, and extensive customization options make the Flying Spur one of the nicest places to spend time.
Bentley Continental GT
Inviting warm walnut veneer or performance-inspired Alcantara and carbon fiber; no matter which direction you go for your Continental GT interior, you won't be disappointed. With a range of customizable interior finishes, and even more with Mulliner Paints, the opportunity to customize your car to your taste is limitless in this classic luxury tourer.
Rolls-Royce Phantom
The epitome of riding in style would be the Rolls-Royce Phantom. The plush seats compliment the even softer ride. The rear privacy glass and privacy curtains let you enjoy a complete seclusion retreat. A real-life canvas for the true creative artist. The option of Bespoke services allows the owner to craft any unique vision to life.
Rolls-Royce Spectre
Classic design in perfect harmony with modern technology. The Rolls-Royce Spectre in its ultra luxurious electric sport coupé glory shows off its true character when your left foot gets lost in the deep-pile carpet, and your right foot propels the coupé into the future. If you miss the noise of an ICE car, the Spectre has the capabilities to pipe the noise in, but really hits the mark with its quiet magic carpet ride.
BMW 7 Series
BMW's full-sized luxury flagship does not disappoint when it comes to amenities. The BMW 7 Series features premium Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound System, curved hepatic displays, and open pore matte wood among other delights. The multifunctioning and massaging leather seats allow the backseat to recline for the most comfortable ride. The ‘My Modes’ allows you to choose your ambiance depending on your mood.
Rolls-Royce Ghost
Wish upon a star while you gaze up into your own personal celestial sky inside the Rolls-Royce Ghost. Your personalized choice of dazzling constellations is also an option. The blank canvas of the interior is a customizable dream. A four-way climate zone, and front and rear seat heaters will make sure every passenger will be comfortable as if floating on their own personalized cloud.
Land Rover Range Rover
The Range Rover continues to uphold its reputation as being one of the most popular large luxury SUVs for the posh and elite lifestyle. The plush interior can have up to seven passengers surrounded by rich woods and soft leather riding in style coasting out of the Black Rock Desert to escape the muddy clutches of a flooded Burning Man with no problem. The optional refrigerator will keep all the liquid hydration chilled to quench the driest, desert-dwelling thirst.
Mercedes-Maybach S Class
The cream of the crop from Mercedes will have you and your chauffeur floating on air…suspension that is, so you won't have to worry about spilling your champagne out of your Robbe & Berking etched flutes. The neck-to-ankle massaging seats, and 64-way ambient lighting might have you cancel your spa retreat, but how else would you find out why Charles’ second wife Kymm got kicked out of the country club?
Lucid Air
One of the newest arrivals in the luxury EV scene, the Lucid Air captivates high-tech buyers with its massive floating dash displays and clean modern looks with its dual-tone interior. The backseat provides plenty of legroom for passengers and plenty of headroom to enjoy the glass roof view.
Genesis G90
High tech and sleek elegance draw your attention in the cockpit of the Genesis G90. The forged carbon metal signature Genesis G-matrix pattern, or the option for eco-friendly black wood gives the interior a smooth first-class feel. The lounge-like backseat helps you relax with its elegant quilted pattern.
Cadillac Lyriq
GM has taken the luxurious interior of the Cadillac Lyriq quite seriously. The dash has a sleek curved 33-inch touchscreen display that complements all of the rich graphics. The Lyriq also provides a noise cancellation feature to lessen road noise so true audiophiles can really enjoy the 19 AKG surround sound speakers for a truly immersive listening experience.
Cadillac Escalade
Bigger is better when it comes to full-sized luxury from Cadillac. The front row features a 38-inch curved OLED touchscreen. What’s cooler than being cool? How about a generously sized refrigerator with freezer mode that will keep six 24-ounce bottles ice cold! No chauffeur is needed when the Cadillac Escalade Super Cruise hands-free technology reduces the frequency to accelerate, brake, steer and even change lanes…but who would want to do that when you have a 6.2-liter, V-8 pushing 420 horses under the hood?
Bentley Bentayga
One of the kings of luxury SUVs, the Bentley Bentayga interior carries the Bentley's reputation for exquisite craftsmanship. Option to have hand-stitched leather bucket seats in both front and rear shows the sportier style of the Bentaygas personality. Equipped with an advanced air filtration system, the Bentayga optimizes air quality in the cabin, and levels can be monitored on the driver display. Whether it's hitting the golf course, carting the kids to soccer practice, or a night out on the town, the Bentley Bentayga will have you riding in enhanced luxury and comfort.
Audi A8
You can find your perfect glass slipper fit in the Audi A8, with 22-way comfort front seat adjustments wrapped in optional Valcona leather. Paired with a range of settings for steering, transmission, adaptive air suspension, and throttle responses, the A8 will have you enjoying your luxury carriage ride no matter where you go. The Bang & Olufsen Premium 3D sound system gives you a mesmerizing well well-orchestrated personal concert.
Rolls Royce Cullinan
Ride in style while you toast in style depending on what you pleasure. The Rolls Royce Cullinan can either hold a champagne chiller, or a whiskey decanter with matching glasses located between the two rear massaging seats. You can also enjoy the view from the Bespoke Viewing seats located in the luggage compartment, complete with picnic table.
Mercedes Maybach GLS600
It's almost as though the engineers of the Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 created the interior first and then engineered the rest of the luxurious SUV around it. If opting for a more spacious back seat for two, instead of the three-row seating, everyone in your party will have access to reclining, heated, and massaging seats. Why smell regular air when the GLS600 has a cabin atomizer that will treat your olfactory senses to top-of-the-line fragrances? Wood with pinstripe inlay surrounded by Napa leather is better than first class, too. It’s in an absolute refined class of its own.
Porsche Panamera Turbo S Executive
From the outside, this four-seater is undeniably recognized as a Porsche. The interior has you in relaxed serenity. The rear center console has plenty of storage and charging capacity to make sure all your electronics are ready on the fly. If getting somewhere quickly and in high-class style is a necessity, the Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport S Executive's sporty seats and side bolsters will have you hugging the curves as they hug your curves.
Lexus LS
The Lexus LS, the company’s largest sedan, has a quiet, comfortable ride with seats designed to reduce noise and vibration. Japanese art techniques such as implementing Kiriko glass, and weaving thin metal fibers into fabric into the interior of the LS create a harmony between traditional design and modern luxury. The infotainment redesign has also made controls more accessible than previous generations. The Lexus LS continues to be a timeless classic.
