Hi
I test drove a 2023 model RR today, everything is okay is the D350 engine working all right for this big car.
One thing is very noticeable, wind noise. it's far worse than my 69 reg.
I am wondering if any other new onwers can share a light on it?
also i noticed a click sounds inside the car when I drove it, the car only covered less than 200 miles. I really don't know it's a quality issue or something else, for a £130k car, should not be like this.
Thanks in advance.
 
Just had a look at the images of the 2023 version. Outside is ok, but inside! Is that a joke? Did the designers come back drunk and scribble a dash together? Or did someone accidently leave the laptop on a drawing of the dash?
All that design power, all that money, and the best they can do is slap what looks like a 15" laptop screen on, not in, on the dash

Oh and the gearshift reminds me of something from decades ago, but I can't quite remember what. It'll come to me.

Which just means you're stuck with it being carried around. Or like the 'improved' removable radios, in the late 80s, that every thief knew was under the seat.

IPads on dashes are horrific.

Gear knob looks like a Poogeot, wtf?

After the Classic, late model L322s are peak Rangie for me. The L405 is alright, better than the current one apparently, but just doesn't feel as special.

Still trying to recall what that gearshift is like. First I thought Star Trek 'energiser' controls, but no. Then I wondered is a train speed control lever from 125 , but no.
