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 only 805 units produced in 2006, the Phantom remains the
standard for luxury and exclusivity.
