Phantom [Official] Rolls-Royce Phantom (VIII)

[SDNR]

Sorry, but everyone seeing nothing but a facelift there needs to have his/her eyes checked.

Agree. It is actually a much bigger progression than it first appears. I think one of the reasons it seems so familiar is it has a slight resemblance to the Ghost. This is not a facelift, it is an entirely new vehicle.

If were to ever configure a Phantom for purchase, it'd probably take me a good week or two to finalise a configuration.

f#cking flash.

f$%king flash.

Besides one other possible event in 2020, that year can't come soon enough.

It may not be everyone's taste or style, but damn the live pics really bring it out.

The side profile, despite the subtle changes, looks even more imposing than the previous generation.. I adore it

 

[GTA45E]

The lack of profile detail, "bumperless" nose and rear end definitely add mass.
Some images make it look a bit bulky and gaudy like a big Rolex watch. This version of the Phantom is more of a look at me show piece. It is flashier than the outgoing version.

I still like it a lot though. There is a sense of completeness about the packaging despite the ever so slightly outdated theme of the interior. It shouts "I am the King of Automotive Artisan, am untouchable"

I think the car looks great! theres no need for dramatic changes. Phantom is already such an iconic designs which sets the whole RR design DNA.
This 8th generation is amazing! so classic and elegance yet very very modern. great job!
cannot wait to see the drophead.

I think you may mistaken comparison to the Ghost. Because this 8th Gen Phantom have similar features to the Ghost such as the grill.

Lovely facelift

Pretty sure he was sarcastic with that comment

 

[SCOTT27]

When the Phantom looks this great you just know the next Ghost is going to be outstanding. Not that the current Ghost is anything but.

 

[Sunny]

Before I was kind of little bit meh, but after seeing the real life shots, I think they did an awesome job of actually modernizing the design language without losing the "Rolls Royce-ness".

Interesting that there's no mention of a fragrance dispenser like BMW's Ambient Air package? Also no gesture control, and no autonomous driving systems other than active cruise control. I can understand why the latter two mightn't have been included, but I would've thought a fragrance dispenser would suit the Rolls-Royce brand and experience perfectly?

Either way, I'm enormously proud of BMW/Rolls-Royce. The engineering is first-rate, the interior is a nice step forward both in terms of style and perceived quality, and the styling is, for the most part, a successful evolution of the Phantom theme.

I think the car will have the permanent smell of money as standard.

Not sure about fragrance or gesture control, but seems to have all of the below:

A fully loaded Phantom has an advanced driver assistance system that includes four cameras that provide better visibility such as helicopter view, active cruise control, collision warning, pedestrian warning, cross-traffic warning, lane departure and lane change warning. The vehicle also has a high-resolution head-up display, WiFi hotspot, and navigation and entertainment systems.

If there's one company who can make a true rival to this, it's Mercedes. I'd love to see them do it; all these sportscars are becoming damned boring, nor do they suit the brand as much as a true top end luxury car.
An S600 Maybach is damn nice, don't get me wrong, but something like a Phantom it is not.

I don't think I have ever wanted a car so badly as this one in this very spec.
