The Rolls-Royce Phantom reigns supreme as the pinnacle of luxury sedans, a title its competitors, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and Bentley Flying Spur, can only aspire to. Despite being introduced in 2017, the Phantom VIII remains a coveted symbol of opulence, its timeless design ensuring enduring appeal.
While the prospect of a successor looms, Rolls-Royce is wise to prolong the Phantom’s reign, a decision that delights discerning enthusiasts and chauffeurs alike. Previous encounters with the Phantom have included the Mansory-tuned “Duke of Darkness,” a striking contrast to the pristine example recently showcased by Champion Motoring.
This particular Phantom, adorned with chrome accents and riding on colossal 26-inch wheels, offers a fresh interpretation of the iconic model. This Rolls-Royce Phantom’s opulent interior reveals a crimson-hued cockpit lavishly adorned with premium leather and contrasting white stitching.
While the dashboard retains its glossy black fingerprint magnet aesthetic, it’s punctuated by metallic accents. The headrests proudly display the iconic RR emblem, and the car boasts a starry headliner and an enhanced audio system.
Under the hood, the twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 engine likely remains untouched, delivering a formidable 563 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. This behemoth, weighing approximately 2.5 tons, typically accelerates from zero to 62 mph in around six seconds, though these upgrades might marginally increase that figure.
Champion Motoring has confirmed this Phantom is available for purchase, but without a disclosed price, we can only speculate a price tag well exceeding half a million dollars, given the 2024 model’s base MSRP of $493,000.
