RR Phantom

Our chauffeur driven Rolls Royce Phantom’s are the perfect vehicle for all kinds of events including prom nights, birthdays and of course weddings. The seating in the back mixed with the climate control gives you a real sense of luxury throughout your journey. The rear hinged doors in the back will provide you with a fantastic sense of occasion when you exit the car at your destination and the wide entrance makes it easy to exit the car, even with a wedding dress.

Performance

The Phantom weighs a mighty 2.5 tonnes. However, thanks to its aluminium space frame, that’s 300kg less than it would have weighed if conventionally built from steel. With a 453bhp, BMW-sourced, 6.8-litre V12 and a six-speed auto gearbox to drive it, you won’t want for performance.

Ride & Handling

With an overall length of 5.8 metres, you could be forgiven for thinking there might be a lack of responsiveness. But although comfort has priority in the set-up of the air-sprung suspension, the car corners with a neatness unknown in any previous Rolls, and the steering is accurate as well as light.

Refinement

You expect a Rolls-Royce to sound like a library on wheels, and for the most part the Phantom is appropriately silent. There's virtually no road noise and the mechanical components work smoothly and silently. However, with the other sources of noise so well suppressed, you can hear a bit of wind flutter.

Quality & Reliability

The car was styled in England but engineered in Germany by parent company BMW, so you get the best of both worlds. The cabin materials and aroma are pure Rolls, but fit and finish are on an altogether higher level than in the old hand-built days. Assembly standards are superb, and we’ve no reason to fear mechanical problems.

Safety & Security

Rear-hinged coach doors are normally outlawed. However, Rolls-Royce has overcome the problem by fitting a sophisticated electronic locking unit which prevents the doors being opened into the path of a following car. A large range of active and passive safety features comes as standard.

Behind The Wheel

The Phantom’s classy surroundings are not at the expense of sound ergonomics. The driver sits at Land Rover Discovery level, although rearward visibility is poor to ensure rear passengers get the required degree of privacy. The car has a simplified version of BMW’s iDrive system, a twist knob that controls all the major heating, entertainment and information functions.

Space & Practicality

At the back the Phantom has ‘coach doors’, which open towards the rear to make it easier to get in and out. Because of the car’s height it takes practice to master swivelling on the seat before stepping out. Space is generous, but the long-wheelbase car offers even more space. The rear seats are not adjustable.
