Phantom [Official] Rolls-Royce Phantom (VIII)

[Matski]

I've always thought that the ultimate "waftability" of an electric powertrain would suit Rolls-Royce well, but there's no denying I find the loss of the V12 to be a major blow. It's not even the performance, but what it represents. A full EV powertrain may be better in many respects, but I'd find it less desirable in a number of ways. I hope they can do something "interesting" if/when they go down the electric route.

Surely the V12 in the Rolls will remain for the next 5 to 7 years without a doubt, it is a brand where all its engines without exception are V12 and enjoys record sales, the engine is made and recently presented in its latest version in the Phantom, Cullinam and in the Ghost to come.

Those who have been lucky enough to drive say a ZOE and a Tesla S, there is some relationship in the difference as there is for example between a four-cylinder of a basic car and a V8-V12 of a high-end car?
I have curiosity to know if there are noticeable differences without being the obvious greater power

 

[klier]

None. Electricity is pretty simple.

^The Rolls V12 is a slightly different version of the...

I believe there's going to be a fully electric Ghost.

Apologies for slightly going off topic.

I know that the phantom and the flying spur are different classes of luxury vehicles, but I wanted to know the opinions of this forum on their interiors.

IMO, in terms of design and build quality (and maybe not oppulance), I feel like the flying spur gives the phantom a run for its money, if not is outright better?

 

[Matski]

I wonder if they could introduce the first EV car as a new standalone model first, something like a Seraph... then they can obsolete it when the technology matures a bit more, and put the powertrain in the established models.


... probably won't happen that way, I just want to see more Rolls-Royce models.

probably won't happen that way, I just want to see more Rolls-Royce models.

And you will see them, a large SUV coupe, a smaller SUV, a small SUV coupe, we only have the consolation that perhaps some of them will call Seraph

How much quieter is the cabin compared with a 2020 model year German flagship or a full fat Range Rover?

Does the nose lift during acceleration and nose dive under braking?

AMA

Will it drift?

 

[slicknick]

AMA

Is there anything on the road that can actually match it in terms of
1) Features
2) Ride Comfort
3) Silence in the cabin?

Sako is our royalty. He needs a crown emoji ASAP

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

Does Grey Poupon come as standard or is it optional? And if it's optional, is it part of a package or as a standalone option?


Btw, save for the piano black lacquer, I am digging that spec.
