Launch[edit]
The Phantom was unveiled by live-stream on 27 July 2017.[7]
It made its public debut at a special exhibition Rolls-Royce held in London two days later on
29 July. The event, dubbed "The Great Eight Phantoms", took place at Bonhams auction
house in Mayfair. The exhibition gathered a noteworthy Phantom from each generation,
from Fred Astaire's Phantom I to subsequent models driven by royalty, or made famous by
celebrities, including John Lennon's psychedelic-painted Phantom V.[7][8]

Design[edit]
The Phantom VIII's styling has been described as an evolution of the Phantom VII's.[9][10][11]

Rear

Phantom EWB

Like its predecessor, the Phantom VIII has a short front overhang and upright front end, a
long bonnet and set-back passenger compartment as well as a long wheelbase and a
flowing rear end.[9] It also uses rear suicide doors, which Rolls-Royce label "coach doors".
For the first time on a Phantom, Rolls-Royce's trademark "Parthenon" radiator grille is
integrated into the surrounding bodywork.[12]
The Phantom is available in two wheelbase lengths. The Phantom Extended Wheelbase
(EWB) is 220 mm (8.7 in) longer than the standard wheelbase.[13]

Specifications[edit]
Platform[edit]
The Phantom uses an aluminium spaceframe chassis; this is a version of Rolls-Royce's
modular "Architecture of Luxury" platform. The Phantom is the first car to be based on this
new platform, which will later be used by the Cullinan SUV and other future Rolls-Royce
models.[12][14]

Suspension and steering[edit]


The Phantom is fitted with self-levelling air springs and electronically controlled dampers
front and rear. It uses a double wishbone front axle and a 5-link rear axle.[8][12] It is also
equipped with active anti-roll bars.[10]
The suspension system is linked to a stereo camera mounted behind the
windscreen.[12] This scans the road ahead and preconfigures the spring and damper rates,
and the anti-roll bars, so as to improve ride quality.[15] The system, dubbed the "Flagbearer"
by Rolls-Royce, operates at speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph).[12]
The Phantom is the first Rolls-Royce to be fitted with four-wheel steering. The system turns
the rear wheels counter to the front wheels through a maximum of 3° at speeds lower than
60 km/h (37 mph) to improve manoeuvrability. Between 60 and 80 km/h (37 and 50 mph)
the rear wheels do not steer at all. At speeds above 80 km/h the rear wheels turn in the
same direction as the front wheels through a maximum of 1° to increase high-speed
stability.[16]
The Phantom uses "Silent-Seal" tyres which Rolls-Royce co-developed with Continental.
These use a layer of foam inside the tyre to reduce tyre cavity noise, which lowers sound
levels in the cabin by up to 9 decibels.[11]

Interior[edit]

Interior

The interior is fully bespoke and personalised to the clientele like previous and current Rolls
Royce models offer. They also have "The Gallery" a display section in the vehicle in the
front seat veneer with experimentation of different materials and artwork to be integrated
with the vehicle and all the options are limitless.

Powertrain[edit]
The Phantom is exclusively available with a twin-turbocharged 6.75-litre V12 engine. This is
a variant of BMW's N74 called the N74B68[17]which is unique to the Phantom.[18]
ZF's 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission is the sole gearbox option. This is linked to a
GPS receiver which analyses the car's location and speed to optimise shift timing.[12][14]
