After 14 years of production the 7th generation of the Rolls-Royce Phantom is here. Rolls-Royce have dubbed this “The quietest car in the world” therefore the lengths the designers have gone to are quite astonishing. To begin with, a new lightened chassis allowed designers to increase the use of sound deadening, whilst keeping weight at the same enormous 2.5 tons. Phantom 8 also has a specially developed tyre, taking Continental over 100 prototypes to perfect, has reduced road noise significantly and when combined with the double thickness laminated glass throughout has resulted in cabin noise being reduced by a further 10%. Phantom 8 also incorporates all wheel steering, giving the agility of a car with a far shorter wheelbase at low speeds whilst helping stability in high speed lane changes. The air suspension uses road scanning cameras to further refine that famous ‘magic carpet ride’.

Sweeping lines that taper off towards the boot give the car a modern look, whilst the overall size and grandeur of the car make it unmistakeably a Rolls-Royce Phantom. The new headlamps give the front a welcome modern facelift and when combined with the new fully integrated ‘Pantheon Grille’, the largest ever fitted to a Rolls-Royce, give it one of the most daunting faces on the road.

Our particular model is finished in midnight sapphire with an all-black interior only highlighted with a wrap around orange dash. The perfect combination complimented by the 22 inch fully polished alloy wheels.
