SuccessorRolls-Royce Phantom VIII

The Rolls-Royce Phantom is a full-sized luxury saloon car made by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Launched in 2003, it was the first Rolls-Royce developed and introduced after BMW purchased the right to use the Rolls-Royce name and logo in 1998. It was the seventh Rolls-Royce design to use the Phantom nameplate.

It is credited with successfully reviving the Rolls-Royce brand and restoring Rolls-Royce's reputation as a maker of luxury cars.[7][8][9][10]

The Phantom Drophead Coupé and Phantom Coupé are two-door derivatives of the Phantom launched in 2007 and 2008, respectively.

From 2003 until the launch of the smaller Ghost in 2009, the Phantom was the only car produced by Rolls-Royce. The Phantom acted as the company's flagship model but was less exclusive than all previous Phantoms (none of which surpassed the 600 per year).

Manufacture of the car ended in January 2017, with the Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII launched later that year.[11]

Initial release (2003–2012)

Construction

V12 engine of a 2008 Phantom

The Phantom uses a unique chassis platform, body, interior, and retains traditional Rolls-Royce design cues. The body is mostly aluminium.

Final assembly, including all body, paint, wood, and leather work, is completed to each customer's individual specification at the Rolls-Royce plant in Goodwood, West Sussex. The plant is close to the historic Goodwood Motor Racing Circuit.

The plant contains a paint shop, body shop, leather shop, woodworking shop, assembly line, and executive offices under one roof. There are only three robots in the factory. The robots paint the body; the paint is polished by hand after the robots spray each coat. The coach lines, which are exactly 3 mm (0.1 in) wide, are done, as well as all other work, by hand, in keeping with the Rolls-Royce tradition.

The aluminium extrusions that are used to construct the aluminium spaceframe are produced in Norway using hydroelectric power, shaped and machined in Denmark and finally hand-welded in Germany.

The Phantom is 1.63 m (64.2 in) tall, 1.99 m (78.3 in) wide, 5.83 m (229.5 in) long, weighs 2,485 kg (5,478 lb) and can accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.9 seconds.

Interior (Series I)
  • Customers can choose from 44,000 paint colours, and specify any leather colour.[12]
  • 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 is available to the driver.[13]
  • The rear doors are rear-hinged, a style commonly referred to as suicide doors but called 'coach doors' by Rolls-Royce, a feature traditionally offered since the first Phantom was introduced in 1925. 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.[14]
  • When the 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 retracts 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.

Luxury amenities

Features (as of 2009) include a navigation system with voice recognition, power sunroof, upgraded leather upholstery, rear-view camera, rear-seat DVD entertainment system, 15-speaker Lexicon Logic7 premium sound system, 8-disc CD changer, 18-way power front seats, 16-way power rear seats, heated and cooled cup holders, rear-seat tables, outside-temperature indicator, universal garage door opener, power tilt/telescopic heated wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel with radio, climate, and navigation controls, power open/close boot lid, power closing doors, wireless headphones, iPod adapter, refrigerator, and air conditioning with 5-zone climate controls. There are extensive options available through the Rolls-Royce "Bespoke" programme through which the factory will create any reasonable option a customer asks for.

Safety recall

In October 2010, the Phantom was included in a recall involving cars with a V8 or V12 engine from BMW, because of the potential to develop a leak in the power braking system.[15]

Phantom Extended Wheelbase (2005–2012)

BMW originally intended to use a 9.0L V16 engine in the Phantom, but at the last moment decided to use a more economical V12 engine. The engine can be seen in the concept Rolls-Royce 100EX. A V16 model Phantom Coupé was used in the film Johnny English Reborn at the specific request of Rowan Atkinson.[36][37]

Finally, the car uses a V12 engine with a special increased 6.75 L displacement (the same displacement was used by the classical L-Series 6.75 L V8 engine used by Rolls-Royce between 1959 and 2002).[38] At the same time BMW 7 E65 uses an engine with 6.0 L displacement.

Transmission

All models include ZF 6-speed automatic transmission and double wishbone suspension.

Centenary Edition (2004)

Rolls-Royce Phantom identical to the Centenary Edition (rear view)

In 2004, to celebrate the company's one-hundredth anniversary, Rolls-Royce introduced the "Phantom Centenary Edition". This model was limited to only 35 units worldwide and was specifically commissioned by Rolls-Royce. Most special edition cars are not commissioned by the factory, or are brought out to boost sales. This is not the case with the Centenary Edition. The car was debuted on 4 May 2004 at the Midland Hotel in Manchester. It was the meeting place of Charles Stewart Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce.

The Centenary Phantom can be distinguished from the standard car by several key features. All of the cars' "RR" emblems are red instead of black. This is reminiscent of the original Rolls-Royce cars that bore red badges for the first twenty-five years of the company until it was later changed due to customer requests. Each car is painted in a special "Dark Curzon" colour used only for the thirty-five Centenary cars and the 100 EX prototype, which was also debuted for the company's centenary celebration.

Exterior

  • Red "RR" badges throughout the car's exterior, instead of the standard black badges.
  • The coach lines are red and match the red hand-painted rings around the wheel caps.
  • The car is painted in "Dark Curzon", which is exclusive to the thirty-five cars.
  • Wheel caps are painted in "Dark Curzon" to match the body.
