Does the Phantom truly steal the spotlight from every car?

If you've ever laid eyes on a Lamborghini Murciélago LP640, it appears as an extremely wide and low-slung sports car. I don't mean to say it looks minuscule when parked next to a Rolls-Royce Phantom, but...

The Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 is a respectable sports car that you wouldn't typically describe as feeble compared to other cars. Yet, in these pictures, it looks somewhat diminutive, which is rather amusing because the Murcielago is a stunning and purebred Lamborghini. It just goes to show, once again, the colossal ships that Rolls-Royce constructs. The Phantom is undeniably one of the largest sedans available in the market.
If you haven't noticed yet and thought this was a standard Phantom, you're in for a surprise. This is a custom-made vehicle for a wealthy customer who is in a wheelchair but still desires a touch of luxury. They contacted Rolls-Royce and ordered a bespoke Rolls-Royce with an elevated interior. This design allows them to roll into the car directly using a retractable ramp without bumping their head. The modifications have turned this already enormous vehicle into something even more massive. You'd probably need a G63 6x6 to rival this Rolls-Royce in terms of sheer bulk.

It's often the case that supercars or hypercars appear much larger than they really are. This is partly due to the finer details that are much smaller and more delicate compared to conventional cars.
