2010 Rolls Royce Phantom
Phantom's unique, advanced aluminum frame is hand-welded. Incredibly light but strong, it is both stiff and dynamic. When combined with state-of-the-art suspension technologies, it creates the air-cushioned "magic carpet ride" that is unique to Rolls-Royce. The flat floor of the frame conceals much of the technology, and adds to the calm, quiet ambience inside by isolation passengers from road noise and leaves plenty of space to stretch out.
Even more impressive from the outside and more spacious inside, the Phantom Extended Wheelbase offers more legroom for rear passengers. With a choice of the best in contemporary communications technology, it's an indulgent space - perfect to work in, to sit and think or just watch the world pass smoothly by. Thanks to the adaptability of the frame, there is no compromise in the performance or aesthetics of the car. The rear seats are set back in the car, ensuring passengers' privacy without restricting their view of the world as it passes.
At the heart of the Phantom is its all-aluminium 6749cc V12 engine. Using the most sophisticated engine technology available, including direct petrol injection, variable valve control and variable camshaft timing, it produces impressive maximum power and torque figures – 453bhp at 5350rpm and 531lb ft/720 Nm at 3500rpm - with peerless refinement and unmatched drivability.
Tuned to deliver Rolls-Royce’s legendary ‘waftability’, it gives 75% of its maximum torque at just 1000rpm, the remaining 25% arriving in one, sustained, linear stream as the driver squeezes the throttle.
All this pulling power is delivered to the road through the rear wheels, via a six-speed automatic gearbox. Controlled by a column selector, the transmission uses shift-by-wire technology, which means there is no mechanical linkage between the selector and the transmission itself. With gearshift points optimised for comfort, and pulling away in 2nd gear, the Phantom is engineered to make silky smooth progress through the gears. Though effortless in delivery, the Phantom’s performance is truly spirited, with a 0-60mph time of just 5.7sec and an electronically governed top speed of 149mph.
You don't just buy a Rolls-Royce, you commission it. Commissioning a Phantom is an exciting process. As well as enhancing the veneers, upholstery and paintwork with personal touches, you can choose from a wide range of options and accessories. Some of the many options available for your Phantom are coachlining, theater configuration and a rear glass cabinet.
