That looks massive.

Is it that big in comparison to the 8 or some camera trickery?

Not much bigger than the A8. Clever camera angle, and optical illusion.

They are still bloody big in length and height though if you stand next to one!

Probably thanks to the massive wheels and 2:1 wheel-to-height design ratio which Rolls Royces have been built on since the 1930s:

so the LWB version is actually bigger than the roller, albeit not by much, it must be one of the largest cars on the road, the lwb new sclass merc is 1 and half inches longer, but there cant be many others.
