Rolls-Royce Phantom enters its 8th generation with upgrades in every aspect, pushing the concept of super luxury to new heights.

Rolls-Royce Phantom has just continued its nearly 100-year story with the 8th generation. The new version is completely separate from the reputation of the BMW 7-Series, using a completely new aluminum chassis that the company calls "Architecture of Luxury", increasing 30% of the stiffness compared to the previous generation. In the extended version, the car is more than 6 meters long, nearly 2 meters wide and weighs 2.7 tons.

The exterior design is inherited from the 103EX concept model. The radiator grille is taller and wider. The flying lady symbol 'Spirit of Ecstasy' stands on the front of the car as usual, with optional silver, gold, polycarbonate materials if the customer requests. The lighting system is new, the headlights use laser technology, the rest are equipped with LED. The lighting distance announced by Rolls-Royce is 600 m. The wheel size is 22 inches.

The new air suspension system performs millions of calculations per second to adjust the damping to each situation. Data is analyzed from speed, steering wheel and a camera mounted on the windshield. The camera monitors the road ahead, operating at speeds of up to 100 km/h.

Rolls-Royce calls the new generation Phantom "the quietest car in the world", with a total of 130 kg of soundproofing material used, arranged throughout the engine compartment and around the car. The windows are double-layered. The tires are Silent Seal, with a special foam layer inside to reduce tire noise when moving. Noise on the new generation is reduced by 10% at a speed of 100 km/h compared to the previous generation.

The interior retains the luxury of the British luxury brand. The center console is a 12.3-inch screen. The materials used depend on the owner's needs, with wood, leather, or even silk options. If that's not enough, the craftsmen can paint an oil painting, a gold-plated map, or a 3D drawing of the owner's DNA structure on the dashboard next to the passenger seat.

The new generation Rolls-Royce Phantom uses a twin-turbocharged 6.75L V12 engine instead of the naturally aspirated type of the previous generation, providing 563 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque. Standard 4-wheel drive and 8-speed ZF automatic transmission with integrated SAT satellite support system.

In terms of safety systems, the car includes a driver alertness system, 4 360-degree surveillance cameras, active cruise control, collision warning, pedestrian warning, traffic warning, lane keeping assist. Inside the cabin, there is a head-up display system, Wi-Fi access and the latest navigation and entertainment systems.
