The Rolls-Royce Phantom was Rolls-Royce's replacement for the
original Silver Ghost. Introduced as the 'New Phantom' in 1925.
Many iterations and generations of the Phantom have been produced
from 1925-1991 before the infamous moniker went on hiatus.
The Phantom VII was launched in 2003 and is credited with
successfully reviving the Rolls-Royce brand and restoring
Rolls-Royce's credibility as a maker of luxury cars. The Phantom
uses a unique chassis platform, body, interior, and retains
traditional Rolls-Royce design cues. The body is mostly aluminum
with final assembly, including all body, paint, wood, and leather
work, completed to each customer's individual specification at the
Rolls-Royce plant in Goodwood, West Sussex.
Novel Features:
- Customers can choose from 44,000 paint colors, and specify any
leather color. - The vehicle's unique instrument panel has no
tachometer. Instead it has a power reserve dial that indicates how
much of the engine's power is not being used and available to the
driver. - The rear doors are rear-hinged, a style commonly referred
to as suicide doors, but called 'coach doors' by Rolls-Royce.
Because of the rear-seating position in relation to the rear
inner-door handles, buttons are mounted on both C-pillars which
operate hydraulic motors in order to close the rear doors. An
electronic lock prevents the doors from being accidentally opened
when moving. The car will automatically brake to a walking speed if
a coach door remains open when driving off. - When front or rear
doors are opened, umbrella compartments built into the rear doors
are accessible. The factory-supplied umbrellas are Teflon coated so
they, and the compartment in which they are stored, dry out faster.
- The traditional Spirit of Ecstasy ornament has an automatic
electronic retraction mechanism to prevent theft and protect
pedestrians in the event of an accident. It may also be retracted
by the driver at the touch of a button, or when the alarm is armed.
The ornament base contains a sensor that detects movement, and will
retract it if someone tampers with it. - The "RR" logos on each of
the wheel hubs are independent bezels in order to always remain
upright while the wheel is rotating. The Phantom is powered by a
6.7 Liter V12 producing 454 Horsepower and 531 lb-ft pounds of
torque allowing this ultra luxury sedan to accelerate to 60 MPH in
a staggering 5.9 Seconds.
With less than 800 units produced in 2005, the Phantom remains the
standard for luxury and exclusivity.
This Black on Black example has been well cared for with only 38K
miles registered. The one of a kind design of the Phantom is
further accentuated with the 24" Forgiato wheels (Original wheels
included with the vehicle) With a clean CARFAX, this is one of the
nicest Phantoms listed on the market and is simply an incredible
value!
