Phantom [Spy Shots] 2018 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.

Was it ever confirmed there'd be no Coupe for this generation?

I was confused about this...I think one rumor was that there will be a coupe and cabriolet but it wouldn't be called Phantom Drophead but have an entirely different name in order to give it its own personality. I think another rumor was that since resources were focused on the Cullinan project, there wouldn't be a coupe/cabrio. My memory's terrible and I probably butchered it and probably added more to the confusion than actually cleared things up, so...ummm...glad to be of service?

This is vaguely my recollection also. I don't care what they call it... I'd just like to see a Coupe to the Phantom, as the Wraith is to the Ghost.
