Yeah, but that's kind of like saying a Ferrari 488GTB is just a Kia with custom mechanicals and finishes. Yes but .... similar things are not the same, and it's the "little" differences that frequently provide the core value.
That having been said, I can't speak for Rolls, but I was recently driven to the airport in this custom Bentley - it was nice and all, and I liked it more than a comparable Benz, but I can barely imagine renting one for 5 minutes much less buying one. Definitely not the normal way I travel, and having done it I wouldn't ever pay more for it ...
Those vehicles all fall into the but-what-is-this-for? category for me.

a 488 is a fiat
