Rolls-Royce Phantom – the epitome of perfection.
“Strive for perfection in everything you do” – this
quotation from Sir Henry Royce concisely expresses
the aspiration of the Rolls-Royce brand to this day.
Every Rolls-Royce Phantom embodies excellence
in both craftsmanship and engineering skills. Thus,
this great motor car is not just about the achieve-
ment of individual superlatives, but about the perfect
balance of all details.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom has all the propor-
tions of a classic Rolls-Royce: a long bonnet with
a short front overhang, contrasting with a long rear
overhang. The long wheelbase makes for a spacious
interior and contributes decisively to motoring com-
fort. Despite the car’s impressive size, the alumin-
ium space frame structure of the body weighs only
550 kg and offers exceptional body stiffness.
The unique performance of the power unit dis-
plays all the traditional characteristics and strengths
of a classic Rolls-Royce engine. The engine is de-
signed to deliver particularly uniform torque across
the entire spread of revolutions, resulting in the
brand’s typical effortless acceleration which can
give occupants a sense of being wafted. This char-
acteristic, known to enthusiasts as “waftability”, is
the engine’s ability to deliver extremely high and
uniform torque at all, and even at particularly low,
engine speeds. The power unit is a naturally as-
pirated 12-cylinder V engine that was developed
using cutting-edge technology. Displacement of
6.75 litres follows a decades-long Rolls-Royce tra-
dition. The 338 kW/460 bhp unit develops 560 Nm
at 1,000 rpm and maximum torque of 720 Nm at
only 3,500 rpm.
