Costing at around 340000 USD, it is no wonder that only a handful can own something as luxurious as a Rolls-Royce Phantom. There’s no doubt about the quality of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, but the question is, can it meet the expectations that we have set out for a car such as this?
The Car
Doing things the first time around is something that you’ll never forget. The truth is, getting inside the Rolls-Royce Phantom evokes the same emotions. The Rolls-Royce Phantom looks like a menacing and intimidating vehicle from afar. Without a doubt, this car has massive dimensions and it is even equipped with cameras that will aid you in parking it.
The exterior of the Rolls-Royce Phantom is characterized by solid aluminum lines that make the whole car extremely attractive. When you go to the front, you can clearly see its popular radiator grille and huge wheels that lay flat on the ground with authority.
The Interior
The cabin of the Rolls-Royce Phantom is what makes this beast a comfortable abode if you can call it that way. It has fine wood, leather, wool carpets, and chrome instrument panel knobs. The ergonomics of this car is better than anything I have ever seen in previous generations and that’s saying a lot. Aside from the hi-tech cameras and parking sensors, this car treats you with its battalion of multi-media artillery such as climate control, DVD entertainment system, navigation system, and the Lexicon surround-sound system.
Lastly, this car provides instant comfort that can make you sleep instantly. The doors can be automatically open and closed and you can do that by simply touching a button. When it comes to the engine, the Rolls-Royce Phantom has a gigantic 6.75 liter, 48-valve engine that can summon as much as 453 horsepower from its powerful valves. Despite of this car’s mass, it can cruise to 60 miles in only 5.7 seconds, while reaching a top speed of 149 mph in an open runway.
The Practicality
We all know that the Rolls-Royce Phantom has superior technology that anyone can drool at. However, a lot still has to be improved when you tall about its practical benefits. The Rolls-Royce Phantom though is a safe car to drive because even if gets hit, its massive three-ton weight is good enough to protect anyone who is inside.
Also it has anti-lock brakes and a complete set of airbags that can make anyone feel at ease no matter how fast it will get on the road. However, just like most supercars, the Rolls-Royce Phantom can only go as far as 13 miles in the city and 19 miles in the highway per gallon of fuel.
Overall, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is great car in and out. It’s a bit expensive though, but when it comes to luxury and practicality, this car is surprisingly good.
