Rolls-Royce Phantom
Phantom has a rare sense of scale and occasion that makes it
a truly modern interpretation of a Rolls-Royce. The grille and
Spirit of Ecstasy immediately mark out Phantom.
The 2:1 wheel-to-height ratio is fundamental to this as are
the coach doors. The gentle downward curve of the roofline and
upward sweep of the lower body line suggest movement even when
the car is stationary.
Just as Phantom's presence is quietly authoritative, the delivery
of power from the direct-injection V12 engine is equally impressive.
At 70mph over 90% of the power is available in reserve, making
for effortless acceleration.
Combined with the electronically controlled six-speed transmission,
pressing the accelerator gives the driver a feeling of smooth,
endless acceleration from standing or at speed.
Phantom's unique, advanced aluminium spaceframe
is hand-welded from over 500 separate parts, with over 100 metres
of weld. Incredibly light but strong, it is both stiff and dynamic.
When combined with the state-of-the art suspension technologies,
it creates the air-cushioned 'magic carpet ride' that is unique
to Rolls-Royce. The double-skinned flat floor of the spaceframe
conceals much of the technology, making it conspicuous by its
apparent absence. This adds to the calm, quiet ambience inside
by isolating passengers from road noise and the flat floor leaves
plenty of space to stretch out.
Our customers play as much a part in how Phantom looks as we
do. Each Phantom is hand-built to order, so you can choose the
finishing touches to make it uniquely yours. It's a simple but
inspiring process that starts with your choice of exterior colour,
leather upholstery to complement it, veneer and 21 inch wheels.
In keeping with Rolls-Royce
tradition you can personalise your Phantom further to suit your
individual needs. Choose from a wide range of options, and accessories
from hand-painted coachlines to theatre configuration and a champagne
glass storage box.
