Rolls Royce Phantom
If you looking for a truly special car that’s recognized instantly as among the world’s finest cars, the Rolls Royce Phantom luxury sedan is your ride. This large, five-seat ultra-luxury sedan combines the best of Old World craftsmanship and New Age technology. At the heart of the Phantom is its all-aluminum, V-12 engine with direct fuel injection, variable valve control and variable camshaft timing. All the sophisticated technology delivers impressive power and torque, with a top speed of 149 mph and 453 hp at 5,350 rpm. The Phantom offers a supremely comfortable and quiet ride while also delivering taut, responsive handling. This “Best Of’s” custom double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension along with air springs and continuous damping control help the Phantom maintain a level stance even when loaded down. Driver-selectable ride-height adjustment, 20-inch wheels, DVD-based navigation system, four-zone automatic comfort controls, an integrated communication system, automatically closing rear doors and trunk and a surround-sound system designed by Lexicon are standard. From the famous “Flying Lady” hood ornament and classic chrome grille to a trunk trimmed in black wool carpeting or deck-style teak, everything about the Phantom shouts ultra-luxury.

FEATURES
- Sitting on top of the chrome plated aluminium grille, the Spirit of Ecstasy is an iconic mascot recognised the world over. Claude Johnson originally commissioned the sculptor Charles Sykes to produce a mascot worthy of his cars in 1911. Sykes is claimed to have used a woman by the name of Eleanor Velasco Thornton as his model, and the resulting sculpture has graced Rolls-Royce cars ever since.
- A bold and distinctive feature of the Phantom are the rear-hinged coach doors. While they undoubtedly offer an added sense of occasion when entering and exiting the car, the coach doors also perform an important safety function. Side-impact protection is much-improved, both as a result of rear passengers sitting inside the fixed body structure of the car, and thanks to a significant intrusion reduction over a standard rear door configuration
- Tuned to deliver a supremely comfortable ride, together with taut, responsive handling, the Phantom uses a custom-developed double wishbone front suspension and sophisticated multi-link rear suspension. Together with air springs and continuous electronic damping control, the Phantom maintains a level stance when laden with passengers and luggage.
- There is also a driver-selectable ride-height adjustment, which raises the Phantom by 25mm, for additional ramp clearance or when driving on poorly surfaced roads. Once the Phantom exceeds 60km/h in this mode the suspension returns to normal level automatically.
- More than simply a humble space to stow luggage, the Phantom’s luggage compartment is finished to the same luxurious standards as the passenger compartment. Normally trimmed in black wool carpet, it is possible to have trim that matches that of the interior, or even deck-style teak, with bi-folding hatches revealing two lower compartments.
- At the heart of the Phantom is its all-aluminium 6749cc V12 engine. Using the most sophisticated engine technology available, including direct petrol injection, variable valve control and variable camshaft timing, it produces impressive maximum power and torque figures – 453bhp at 5350rpm and 531lb ft/720 Nm at 3500rpm - with peerless refinement and unmatched drivability
- Though effortless in delivery, the Phantom’s performance is truly spirited, with a 0-60mph time of just 5.7sec and an electronically governed top speed of 149mph.
