Phantom [Official] Rolls-Royce Phantom (VIII)


Rolls-Royce has used the Phantom name on full-sized luxury cars and limousines since 1925, making it the longest used car model nameplate in automotive history. In the 20th century, the Rolls-Royce Phantom was a very low volume, hand-built limousine, which in its first four generations was custom coachbuilt to the customer's requests, and sometimes extravagant desires. Whilst automobile manufacturing over time became more mechanised and prolific, and vehicles from other manufacturers could be built in greater numbers and at lower prices, the Phantoms remained hand-built, and production of individual cars only began once the order was placed. The use of the name "Phantom" is a long tradition of naming Rolls-Royce models after ghosts or spirits.

I would have to be worth about 200M to pay this much for a luxury sedan, and I'd only drive it a few times a year at really special occasions. There is simply nothing else like it in the world.

If this car did not exist, it would be a sin and I would have to invent it.

They’re so clueless. Chasing a Rolls is no different than chasing any other big heavy vehicle. Any yahoo in a F150 is the same circumstance.

They are mesmerised by the size and the weight. Although I expect at full speed it would probably tear through another vehicle like it was a tank.

It is both smaller and lighter than the typical F150 Merc1 mentioned in his post.

there is one fun fact about the 2002 BMW Phantom that is mindblowing:

the SWB Phantom is LONGER than the LWB Mulsanne (5,83m vs 5,82m) the same goes for the wheelbase (3,57m vs 3,51m)
 
Amazing how this Rolls has evolved through the years.
This is clearly an evolutionary design with the necessary changes to keep it fresh for years to come. Nothing radical or overly trendy.

It'd be awesome if they one day revive the Silver xxx name. So classy.

Cullinan is the worst and I hope the next SUV has a different name.

The company is headquartered in Goodwood, West Sussex, England, United Kingdom. BMW AG has no direct relationship with Rolls-Royce-branded vehicles produced before 2003, other than having briefly supplied components and engines.
