Rolls Royce Phantom Limousine

In all the world, one car epitomizes genuine luxury: Rolls-Royce. And the quintessential Rolls-Royce is undoubtedly the Phantom. Blending a classical Art Deco form with modern technical details, the Phantom established a new standard for excellence when it was introduced in 2003.

Part sculpture, part mansion on wheels, the Phantom possesses an imposing presence on the road while affording its fortunate occupants the most coveted cabin in the motoring world. At nearly 20 feet in length, its exceptional size and scale are its signature.

Under the Phantom's extra-long hood sits an ultra-smooth V12 engine displacing exactly 6.75 liters, a long-standing Roll-Royce hallmark. Another Rolls tradition: modestly dismissing its power output as "ample". That's why there's no tachometer, but instead a "Power Reserve" gauge to assure you there's plenty under foot. Ample indeed (it makes 453 horsepower, if you must know), it catapults the rolling bank vault to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. And it's the strong, silent type too, barely registering a moan under even the most demanding situations.

Step through the rear-hinged coach doors and into the rear. Trust us, the back seat is where you'll want to be. Get comfortable on the big rear bench, kick off your shoes and run your feet through the shearling floor mats. Pull down your own personal picnic tray from the seatback just ahead of you and enjoy the surroundings. A small team of craftsmen spent weeks hand-fitting and finishing the book-matched woodwork and trimming the 15 or so leather hides into this sumptuous little slice of club room. No two Phantoms are truly the same.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom is loaded with luxury features, but that should go without saying. From the back seat, enjoy your own climate control system, automatic window shades, heated and air-conditioned seats, and video entertainment system. From the front seat, enjoy the view over the long hood as well as the uncanny feeling of being at the helm of a luxury yacht rather than a car.

Three things you must point out to all your jealous friends:

A pair of custom umbrellas can be found built into the front doors.
The Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament magically disappears when the car is shut down.
The Rolls-Royce wheel caps are specially designed so that the noble "RR" emblem always remains upright, even when moving.
