Currently in its eighth generation, the Phantom VIII features an elegant design, a powerful V12 engine, and a cabin tailored to deliver an unmatched chauffeur-driven experience. The model offers two wheelbase configurations, an extensive list of features, and customisation options rarely matched in the automotive world.

Rolls-Royce Phantom: Specs & Features

Under the bonnet, the Phantom VIII is powered by a 6.8-litre (marketed as 6.75-litre), twin-turbocharged V12 petrol engine that generates 650 bhp and 900 Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Phantom retains hallmark Rolls-Royce styling elements such as the Pantheon grille, the Spirit of Ecstasy emblem, and sleek laser LED headlamps with a high-beam range exceeding 600 metres. The model also features pneumatic suspension with adaptive dampers and active anti-roll bars, collectively known as the “Magic Carpet Ride”.

On the feature front, the car boasts rear-hinged coach doors, a fully digital instrument cluster, dual rear infotainment screens, a high-resolution head-up display, and a drinks cabinet integrated between the rear seats. Other highlights include built-in umbrellas in the rear doors and rich wood veneer, leather, and metal detailing throughout the cabin.

Rolls-Royce Phantom: Safety

The Phantom comes equipped with an extensive suite of safety and assistance technologies, including a four-camera system with panoramic view, adaptive cruise control, alertness assistant, laser headlights, and Wi-Fi hotspot. The inclusion of a 7x3-inch high-definition head-up display further enhances visibility and driver focus.

Rolls-Royce Phantom: Offers & Deals

As a bespoke luxury offering, the Rolls-Royce Phantom does not typically come with standard promotional deals. Instead, buyers are offered customisation programs through the brand’s bespoke commissioning service.

Rolls-Royce Phantom: Rivals

The Rolls-Royce Phantom competes in the ultra-luxury sedan segment with rivals such as the Bentley Flying Spur and the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, both of which offer premium features but do not match the Phantom’s level of personalisation and brand exclusivity.
