INTRODUCTION

Information Provided by:

“Our absolute priority
was to create a motor

car that is clearly a

Rolls-Royce.”

Ian Cameron,

Chief Designer.

On its debut in 2003, Phantom led Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
into the 21st century.

Designed without compromise, Phantom was the result of
complete creative and engineering freedom, and the desire
to create the best car in the world.

Since then Phantom has been joined by the Phantom
Extended Wheelbase, the Phantom Drophead Coupé
and the Phantom Coupé.

Each model has a personality of its own, yet all share the
same powerful presence and unmistakable design cues
that make a Rolls-Royce a Rolls-Royce.

PHANTOM

Information Provided by:

“When a Phantom

drives by the world

stands still.”

Ian Cameron,

Chief Designer.

Wherever you go in a Phantom, you will never
go unnoticed.

It has a genuine authority, and a rare sense of scale
and occasion that mark it out as a uniquely modern
interpretation of the luxury motor car.

Its powerful stance reinterprets classic Rolls-Royce
proportions, and captures the very essence of the
marque. The 2:1 ratio of the height of the wheels to
the height of the body is fundamental to this, as are the
rear-hinged coach doors.

While the gentle downward curve of the roofline and
upward sweep of the lower bodyline suggest movement
even when stationary.

It’s no wonder then that when a Phantom drives by,
heads still turn.

“Behind the coach doors

awaits an oasis of

comfort and calm.”

Alan Sheppard,

Head of Interior Design.

Phantom’s coach doors open to reveal an interior of
generous propor tions.

Once inside, the experience touches all your senses: the
feel and aroma of wide expanses of soft leather upholstery,
the beauty of the book-matched veneer and the sensation
of the deep tufted Blenheim carpets underfoot.

Natural light fills the interior, further enhancing its air
of spaciousness, thanks to the quarter mirrors housed
within the C-pillars.

The virtually flat floor leaves plenty of room to stretch
out, while the individual or lounge seating cossets you
in a uniquely intimate style.

As you settle back, you can listen to your favourite
artiste on the LOGIC7 audio system, which surrounds
you with some of the most realistic sound you will ever
hear in an automobile.

effortless to drive.”

Theo Martin,

Head of Vehicle Concepts.

The clear and uncluttered dashboard belies the amount
of technology you have at your fingertips, and ensures it
serves to assist rather than confuse.

Only those controls required for everyday driving
are present. Secondary functions such as the satellite
navigation and entertainment system remain hidden until
called upon.

To reduce fatigue on long journeys, the steering wheel,
accelerator and brake pedals are aligned with the exact
centre of the driver’s seat.

All of which contributes to its effortless drivability.

PHANTOM EXTENDED WHEELBASE

Information Provided by:

“It’s a Phantom

with even

more presence.’’

Ian Cameron,

Chief Designer.

The longer wheelbase imbues the Phantom Extended
Wheelbase with a remarkable presence.

The additional 250 mm of legroom in the rear passenger
compartment not only offers an interior space of
lounge-like proportions it also increases the possibilities
for Bespoke customisation.

It’s an indulgent private space. One that is perfect to
work, enter tain or relax in between engagements.

The extra length also extends to the rear-hinged coach
doors, which affords you and your occupants even
greater privacy and protection when entering and exiting.

PHANTOM DROPHEAD COUPÉ

Information Provided by:

“We wanted to

demonstrate a more

relaxed and social side

of Phantom.”

Charles Coldham,

Interior Designer.

Inspired by the America’s Cup J-class yachts of the 1930s
and the Riva motor launches of the 1950s, the Phantom
Drophead Coupé continues the long tradition of two-door,
four-seat Rolls-Royce convertibles.

At the press of a button, you can share the pleasures of
open-air driving with your fellow passengers. Then press
your foot down and enjoy the power of its muscular
V12 engine.

Even with the hood stowed beneath the rear deck there
is still ample room for weekend cases or three sets of golf
clubs in the boot.

The picnic boot lid provides a comfortable seat for two
adults and space for a hamper – making Phantom Drophead
Coupé the ideal choice for sporting or social occasions.

The convivial interior of the Phantom Drophead Coupé

elegance and nautical nature.

Ian Cameron,

Chief Designer.

The rear lounge seat turns your passengers gently towards
each other, and creates a more intimate atmosphere.
You can also relax in the knowledge that the windscreen
surround has been designed for optimum strength and
rollover protection.

Phantom Drophead Coupé features the largest and most
refined canvas hood of any modern convertible car. Each
one is tailored by hand and is available in six colours, chosen
to complement and enhance the exterior paint colours.

When raised, the interior is almost as whisper-quiet
as Phantom’s.

PHANTOM DROPHEAD COUPÉ | 21

PHANTOM COUPÉ

Information Provided by:

“As soon as you

sit in the driver’s seat

you can sense the

spirited nature of the

Phantom Coupé.”

Theo Martin,

Head of Vehicle Concepts.

The most driver-orientated model in the Phantom
family, the Phantom Coupé is a sleek and seductive
combination of classic proportions, powerful presence
and breathtaking detailing.

A modern take on classic Grand Touring cars, and
inspired by the Phantom II Continental, its beautifully
proportioned body exudes performance and style.

The coach doors and the optional brushed stainless
steel bonnet, 21-inch alloy wheels and visible exhausts
further enforce its purposeful look.

Effortlessly powered by the same 6.75-litre V12 engine as
Phantom, the Phantom Coupé has a more dynamic ride
thanks to its shorter wheelbase, revised transmission,
suspension and steering.

The electronic gearbox can be adjusted by pressing a
button on the steering wheel, making the car feel more
responsive and giving more feedback from the road
without compromising comfort.

Agile, fast, supremely comfortable and virtually
silent, the Phantom Coupé is the perfect car for a
transcontinental drive.

especially at night.’’

Alan Sheppard,

Head of Interior Design.

An optional starlight headlining creates a unique, magical
ambience. Over 1,600 fibre-optic lights cover the entire
length of the roof and create the illusion of a star-filled
night sky.

Bright enough to read by on the highest setting, they can
be switched off completely or dimmed to a soothing glow.

Another truly defining feature of the Phantom Coupé is
the use of expertly applied wood veneer, which provides
a wonderfully warm contrast to the cool, milled-finish of
the aluminium dashboard.

This can be further enhanced with the optional Extended
Veneer Package, which extends the veneer to the rear
window surround, parcel shelf and door cappings, evoking
the era of coach-built Rolls-Royces.

PHANTOM TECHNOLOGY

Information Provided by:

“Phantom reclaimed

Rolls-Royce’s position

at the forefront

of automotive design,

engineering and

construction.’’

Helmut Riedl,

Engineering Director.

At the heart of the Phantom family is a lightweight
aluminium spaceframe. This remarkable piece of
engineering is painstakingly hand-welded from over 500
separate parts and uses over 100 metres of weld.

Incredibly light but strong, it is both stiff and dynamic,
and the largest of its kind in the automotive industry.

When combined with the state-of-the-art suspension
technologies, it creates the air-cushioned ‘magic carpet
ride’ that is characteristic of Rolls-Royce.

Its incredible stiffness not only enhances the driving
performance and improves comfort, it also reduces
vibration, which in turn reduces noise and helps keep
our interiors whisper-quiet.

The double-skinned flat floor of the spaceframe
conceals much of the technology, making it conspicuous
by its apparent absence.

“An abundance

Information Provided by:

of effortless power

is an essential element

of the Rolls-Royce

driving experience.’’

Theo Martin,

Head of Vehicle Concepts.

All Rolls-Royce motor cars feature a Power Reserve dial
on their facia, rather than a rev counter. It’s a reminder
that there is always power to spare in our engines, and
tells you exactly how much you have at your disposal.

Phantom’s 6.75-litre V12 engine, for example, when
travelling at 70 mph (113 km/h) only uses less than 10%
of its available power. Yet it delivers 75% of its torque
at 1,000 rpm – just off idle.

Coupled to the six-speed transmission, it responds to the
squeeze of the throttle with the power of a performance
car. While its acceleration is so smooth, it feels as if you
have an infinite first gear.

PHANTOM TECHNOLOGY | 31

“A Rolls-Royce

Information Provided by:

is a paragon of

composure, comfort

and stability.’’

Helmut Riedl,

Engineering Director.

When you step out of a Phantom, you will feel as relaxed
as when you stepped in – if not more so.

Whichever Phantom you choose, it will whisk you across
town or a continent, and maintain its unrivalled driving
experience and sublime ride comfor t at all times.

Even when accelerating or riding over rough terrain, the
car appears and feels as if it is floating on a cushion of
air – which, thanks to its air suspension, it is.

Indeed, the self-levelling air springs are so sensitive they
can detect if a passenger in the rear moves from one side
of the car to the other, and adjust the suspension accordingly.

“Strive for perfection

in everything you do.

Take the best that exists

and make it better.

When it does not exist,

design it.’’

Sir Henry Royce.

Charles Rolls and Henry Royce met for the first time
over lunch in the Midland Hotel, Manchester on 4 May

1904. On that day they agreed to start producing and
selling cars under the name Rolls-Royce.

Within three years, they launched The Silver Ghost
– a car of unprecedented refinement and reliability.
This was demonstrated when it was driven virtually
non-stop between London and Glasgow 27 times – a
staggering 14,371 miles. It led a motoring journalist to
describe Rolls-Royce as producing ‘the best car in the
world’. A tradition we are proud to continue with the
Phantom family.

Indeed, we are still driven by Sir Henry Royce’s inspiring
words. They encourage our designers to challenge
automotive conventions and produce ideas others would
deem impossible. They challenge our engineers to find
innovative solutions to make them possible. And spur
our craftspeople to painstakingly turn them into the
finished product.

It’s how we’ve always made our cars, and it’s how we
always will.

“The intention was

Cars. Set in the South Downs, England and designed by

that works in harmony

with its natural setting.”

Sir Nicholas Grimshaw,

Architect.

Here the Phantom model family and Ghost are
hand-built under the same roof – one of the largest
single-span ‘living roofs’ in Europe. Covered with thousands
of sedum plants, it changes colour with the seasons and
helps our building blend seamlessly with the surrounding
countryside. As do the cedar cladding louvres, which also
automatically adjust to shield the glare of the sun.

From the outside, you get a tantalising view of the
assembly line through the ‘Glass Mile’ that runs the
length of the building. Thanks to the extensive use of
glass, the workshops are flooded with natural light,
which creates the perfect environment for our
craftspeople to hone their skills and transform the finest
natural materials into the finest cars in the world.

and caring hands

just for you.’’

Xaver Franz,

Manufacturing Director.

Each car passes through at least 60 pairs of hands and we
know who assembled every last detail of your Rolls-Royce.
It’s a complex and detailed process as most Phantoms are
highly personalised or have Bespoke additions.

After weeks of care and attention from our craftspeople
and assembly teams, a new Rolls-Royce has a final hurdle
to clear before it is deemed ready to leave Goodwood –
the stress test.

We put the car through its paces to ensure that every
aspect is perfect. Any issues that arise, however small,
are rectified in the test and finish area. Once the team
is satisfied that everything is perfect, only then will it be
dispatched to its waiting owner.

“Experimentation has

for more than a century.’’

Ian Cameron,

Chief Designer.

EX models are not mere concept cars; they are fully
formed and functional vehicles in their own right.
And while they are not designed to go directly into
production, many of the ideas they inspire do.

Indeed, the Phantom Drophead Coupé and Phantom
Coupé started life as 100EX and 101EX, respectively.

By exploring adventurous themes, advanced concepts
and bold technology through living, breathing EX models,
Rolls-Royce remains at the forefront of automotive
design and engineering.

PERSONALISATION

Information Provided by:

“Commissioning a

Rolls-Royce is one of life’s

unforgettable moments.’’

Ian Cameron,

Chief Designer.

Deciding which Phantom to commission is only the start.

As well as specifying the veneer, upholstery and
paintwork, you have a wide range of options and
accessories to choose from.

You may wish to add front and rear cameras to assist
with parking, rear curtains to guarantee privacy or a set
of lambswool rugs for extra comfort.

The theatre configuration transforms the rear
compartment into your own private screening room,
enabling you to watch television or DVDs on long
journeys on two 12-inch screens.

You can also subtly change the character and appearance
of your Phantom depending on which of the seven wheel
designs you choose.

These are just a few of the many options available. Your
local Rolls-Royce Motor Cars authorised dealer will guide
you through all of them, and can even arrange for you to
visit Goodwood to help you make your decision.

Thomas Jefferson,

Manager, Bespoke Sales.

Be it for a discreet humidor in the glove compartment,
a chilled drinks cabinet in the rear or an illuminated Spirit
of Ecstasy on the grille, our Bespoke team will be only
too happy to oblige.

We can create exterior paint or interior leather to match
any colour you desire. And should you want your initials
embroidered on the seat headrests or inlaid into the
veneer we will do that too.

On one occasion, we even furnished an interior with
veneer from a tree felled on the customer’s estate.

But that’s just for starters, there is virtually no limit to
what can be achieved.

“We’ll bring your

Gavin Hartley,

Bespoke Design.

At the start of the Bespoke process a designer will work
with you to help shape and develop your ideas. You can
either do this in person at Goodwood or through your
local Rolls-Royce Motor Cars authorised dealership.

Once your ideas are down on paper, the skilled
craftspeople and engineers in the Bespoke team will
incorporate them into your car.

If this means finding new materials, paints, technology
and engineering solutions, they will find them.

Whatever you dream up, you can be sure we’ll do our
utmost to make it a reality.

Lisa Tandy,

Paint Associate.

The bodywork is then given a fingertip inspection by
our technicians, with any imperfections gently sanded
down and repolished in readiness for its fifth and final
coat, a layer of clear lacquer.

It then receives a further five hours of meticulous
hand-polishing to reach the standard of finish we demand
and you expect.

Should you wish, you can choose to add a five-metre long
single or double coachline through our Bespoke service.
Painted by a skilled craftsperson using a special brush
made from ox and squirrel hair, each perfectly straight line
takes three hours to paint and is precisely 3 mm wide.

We also drum dye our hides rather than paint them so
that the colour permeates right through the leather.

This process also imparts a natural suppleness to the
leather and means it will neither squeak nor crack. So all
you will notice when you settle into your Phantom is the
remarkable softness of the leather itself.

“I look for burrs

that add interest.”

Dan Austin,

Veneer Specialist.

Beautiful wood is integral to all Rolls-Royce motor cars
and adds a simple but striking finishing touch.

We use up to 10 square metres of veneer and up to 41
separate wood parts to create a single interior. And each
piece is cut from consecutive slices of the same tree to
ensure consistency of grain, colour and aging.

The veneers are then painstakingly book-matched by our
wood craftspeople, many of whom were cabinet-makers,
to create a symmetrical mirror image of grain through the
centre of the facia.

This is delicate, precise work that creates a seamless flow
of highly-polished veneer throughout the car.
