2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom: Design, Performance, and Price
Over the years, the name Rolls-Royce has become synonymous with luxury and opulence. Every Rolls-Royce vehicle sold around the world reflects the essence of wealth, often purchased by business leaders for a refined commute. Recently, Rolls-Royce unveiled its most significant model, the Phantom, marking its debut in 2018 and leaving a notable impact on the automotive world.
Exterior Design
Now in its eighth generation, the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom features a new chassis that is 140 inches long, resulting in an overall length of 227.2 inches, which is more compact than its predecessor. The exterior has been tastefully redesigned, with flatter sides that distinguish it from the bulkier previous model. The front grille has been elongated, made of stainless steel, while the signature rear-opening doors remain, complemented by 21-inch wheels and crystal-clear headlights.
Interior Design
The interior of the Phantom has been designed to be sharper and more dynamic than any previous models. It features solid glass on the dashboard and instrument panel, with elegant wood finishes on the center console. The rear cabin includes familiar features from past models, such as electrically opening tables and 12-inch screens mounted on the backs of the front seats, alongside luxurious wood and leather finishes throughout. Customers can choose a custom color from their imagination, which Rolls-Royce will apply.
Engine Performance
The 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom is equipped with a powerful twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 engine, shared with the company's other models like the Wraith, Ghost, and Dawn. This engine delivers an impressive 563 horsepower and a torque of 900 Nm at 1700 RPM, enabling the Phantom to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.1 seconds.
Price
While the price of the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom has not been officially confirmed, enthusiasts and potential buyers of this latest model likely won't be deterred by cost. The starting price for the previous model with a short wheelbase was $422,925, while the longer wheelbase model began at $497,525.
