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.

The presence is unrivaled

Definitely brings some much needed elegance to the Phantoms battleship-like presence.

Also... if we call the the Panamera a "Panny", I really feel the urge to call the Phantom a "Phanny"
 
Its evolutionary yes, but completely brought up to date. It's modern, has a strong physical presence that is wholly individual. The craftmanship and detailing escalates the Phantom above everything.
No doubt,it's great,the details are awesome(those two chrome lines on the hood all the way up to the windshield for example),but I just want more..maybe a totally different headlight shape for example.
 
Considering what this is, I wasn't expecting something revolutionary in the design department. From the front view and interior, I think it's a good mix of the previous gen's Phantom's patrician look with the modernity of the Ghost. Looking forward to the "roll" out of the Phantom tomorrow. It's not everyday a new Roller (that's not some sort of one-off special edition) is released.
