Had to laugh when I saw the rear seat headrests. What on earth?!

They are the electrically deployed 7 seat option that rise from the boot floor to create a 3rd row.
Skip to 2:15 to see the row 3 seats.

That is awesome! Do the third row seats have a deep enough floor for legroom?
Nope. Pretty much the same as any other '7 seater' which has it's extra seats recessed into the boot floor. Our 4007 has electronically operated third row seats recessed into the boot and they are fine for small kids for a reasonably short trip but I wouldn't like to be an adult sat in there for any length of time.
The RR Sports:-
Looks really handsome to me, nice and conservative. Compared to this...

They're really not that big in terms of width/length. It's deceiving because of the height - mine is only 6cm wider than a 5 series, and 12cm shorter.
I wasn't keen on the new one from the initial leaked pictures, but after seeing it from different angles (and better colours!) I think it looks great

Have seen the new car sitting next to the old one, and the new one is sightly bigger, but they're very similar.
They certainly look a lot nicer in the flesh, and do sound rather nice in gasoline form!

Had a play for an hour in a TDV8 Sport today, absolutely superb on road performance and well specced; fridge, active roll control, 4 zone climate, head up display, traffic sign recognition to monitor speed limits which it then puts on the HUD, lane departure warning, Adaptive Cruise Control and then the auto parking features for either parallel parking or into bays. It's pretty much the perfect car thanks to the improvement in the occupant space, a total step change from the previous L320 and much better than the base TDV6 I drove a few weeks ago.
Also had a go in the Full Fat Autobiography, just as impressive but with more gentlemanly manners! This one had the business class rear seating.

They are awesome fun to drive the steering is much quicker on the RRS versus the RR and makes it much more involved.
It's great in the back, the headrests in the autobiography spec cars are just comfy pillows. I drive the Hybrid RR / RRS regularly, they're much nicer than the base V6, which is great on its own anyway.
Still, if I had the money I'd have the V8 SC, those cars feel so silly quick!
