think of the previous generation phantom 7, particularly the series II. it's at least 10 years old and still looks fantastic both on the inside and on the outside. Admittedly if you look at phantom 7 series I, it's beginning to look a bit aged. Then again, it is almost 20 years old.
They don't post shouty, click-baity stuff that other channels post. So it struggles to hit 1M subscribers. It's indeed a shame really. But I guess there are fewer ppl who actually enjoy quality stuff.
I always couldn't believe that F1 had such a small viewership and then it exploded and I've spent every day since watching/viewing media flooded with idiots saying idiotic things that bug me. Huge fanbases are a double edged sword. If they do start doing clickbait media, just be prepared to sacrifice all of these cool and conversation-starting comments for arguments about which car has a faster 0-60 or how an air-cooled Porsche is pants because it doesn't launch like an R35 GTR 💭
Yes! I was just saying yesterday how amazingly interesting it will be to see what artists are commissioned to provide the dash art on the new Rolls Royce Phantom! It’s like you guys are reading my freaking mind!!! (said no one I know, or have ever even heard of, ever) Personally, I want to see the, “Fredrick Remington” tribute model!
I would love to be able to shut out the world, and too, I've always wanted to be able to Waft! I guess I'd better hurry, as I passed by 39 quite a few years back! I really like that this car (to Me) looks great at every angle! It has been dubbed "The Ultimate FU Car", and I also like that particular distinction! 😊
Lady Penelope is going to have as much fun driving as Parker does! It looks an absolutely terrific car, indistinguishable on the outside, luxurious on the inside. If I was looking for something like a Rolls Royce I'd be very happy with this.
At Rolls Royce The Pricing and Marketing strategy is Crystal clear, we like to surround our customers in absolute silk, and there are no barriers the company won’t ascend to victory . Of course In the future there is always space for future development. Happy Motoring.
I would have to sell my home to purchase this fabulous motor car , I could be persuaded but unfortunately I have to live in the real world but I can still enjoy your video thank you.
Of All the reviews of Phantoms, since they added the "Art Gallery" , I have not seen one custom work. It would be fascinating to see what is being installed there, by whom and how.
Why would one choose this over the vastly cheaper ghost - is the comfort, quietness and ride superior? Admittedly the EWB phantom has even more legroom, but the ewb ghost is still vast, and the headroom and shoulder room seem to be identical. The options, materials, finishes and luxury of the ghost seem just as superlative, so is there really much to the phantom in addition, beyond the greater road presence and bragging rights of having spent a lot more on a Phantom?
I think that you need to reevaluate why Rolls-Royce manufacture vehicles. Its certainly not to show off wealth. The Rolls-Royce company focuses on every possible part of the driving experience. Meticulous thought and detail go into its design, construction and manufacture. Its a car made for a person who understands the aesthetic, philosophy and praxis of refinement. Yes, its true, many of the nouveau riche, do not understand refinement preferring to flash their cash. But to the discerning a Rolls-Royce is a remarkable achievement that always innovates over time.
I‘ve always liked these. For the ultimate in sheer luxury, refinement and quality. Not status. But I don’t know if I’d own one, even if I could afford to. As status is what most onlookers would likely think the actual owner seeks. Maybe owning one in some parts of the world where people are more open minded. Likely not the 🇬🇧 though, even if this car is British…sort of.
I've often wondered how this would compare with the new Ghost, since the Ghost is now so good. For that extra quarter of a million, what does it offer over the new Ghost, aside from even more bulk and space? Personally, I adore the new Ghost, because it brings the Rolls-Royce brand bang up to date with the latest design language and technology, without trampling on its traditions.
The phantom is the real deal. day and night diff. the ghost is for sure a nice car but the phantom is over the top in so many ways, and rest assured has the look also. I must say the that the ghost doe's have a bit more of a modern sporty look to it but the boxcar phantom has that grandiose look
If I won the lottery I would buy the Bentley equivelant sorry. I love the engine stats and the car interior. Its too much on the outside though. Jimmy Saville and Max Clifford drove Rollers
Fabulous review ….. but …… this is a massive irritation for me….. at the start the reviewer rides in the rear, without wearing a seatbelt, why? You have nearly 1 million subs , please remember how impactive your reviews are. It doesn’t matter who you are, seatbelts save lives, if only Princess Diana had worn hers, the bodyguard did- thank you.

@@Tlhakxza good question, l think we sometimes have to look over the edge of the plate that's feeding us and have some sensitivity for others.

@@bernardh9994 you should reevaluate your thoughts on owning such a car. hard work is what it takes to obtain this. it's not and nor should it be of my concern what others have or don't have, as were in a free country and every person here has the opportunity to acquire what they want if they work at it. rest assured many of the people that own such a car had little to nothing in the beginning. they worked hard and achieved.
I don't like it! It's still cool though. Steering seems nervous? Many small inputs appear needed? If I ever buy one? I will be riding in the back, and I will be, really old!
Lots of people do. They are great to drive. You aren’t going to be driven in a Wraith or Dawn, probably not a Cullinan and most Ghost owners drive themselves.

5 years on and this Phantom still looks simply majestic :D. Also, I thought this specific video was uploaded earlier on today? 🤔

I do like the range of styles Carfection has with its main presenters, each bringing something different.
Hands down the most arrogant, yet most beautiful, sedan one can drive. A masterpiece of technology and art.
It's good to see somebody reviewing a Rolls Royce not looking like they forgot they were going out in public.
My 1988 Honda Prelude had 4 wheel steering
And 4 wheels, and 4 seats, and a trunk. WOW - they're the exact same car!
It's hard to find parts for the 1988 prelude 💔

Seems crazy to me that RR haven't gone electric.Surely their cars would lend themselves perfectly to this
I think the Tempur is gon be electric,if I’m not mistaken this Phantom VIII is the last petrol engine.
Regards.✌🏿
Spectre is electric.
Gorgeous car.
what a stunning car.
My bank balance looks like a phone number to be fair. £9.99

Great intro
Of All the reviews of Phantoms, since they added the "Art Gallery" , I have not seen one custom work. It would be fascinating to see what is being installed there, by whom and how.
I saw one where a selection of feathers was installed. Clearly, something dear to the heart of the owner.
Were you tempted to take it to a track ?
Would be interesting to see how it performs against like a 340i which should be roughly the same power/weight-ratio 😅
That's completely against everything the vehicle was designed for, do it!
I like my Pink Floyd ;)
Price ?
