Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 Review | The best car in the world? | Autocar

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The name Rolls-Royce defines luxury, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom is the pinnacle of Rolls' own range. Subscribe now: smarturl.it/autocar
This £360,000 luxury saloon is the king of wafting. There's more than 130kg of soundproofing, the interior is lined with hectares of leather, carpets thick enough to tickle your ankles, and whatever kinds of trim you can dream up.
Power comes from a 6.75-litre, twin-turbocharged V12 whose power is entirely secondary to the huge reserves of torque, developed so low down in the rev range that you hardly need to put any effort in to get imperious cruising potential.
Join us as tests the new Rolls-Royce Phantom and decides whether it's still the most luxurious car on the planet.

    I recall, many years ago when electric windows were first introduced to cars, there were several accidents with children getting their fingers trapped and injured by the windows until manufacturers installed a system whereby the window would stop if anything impeded it's progress, ie a childs fingers etc. Regarding those self closing doors on the Phantom. Do they have a safety system to prevent fingers getting trapped and injured? Be interesting to know.

    It's quite good that it's peak power doesn't engage until 5,000RPM means you have to give it a good throttling to get it going. That will appeal to the younger rich people. And the early torque will appeal to the older rich people lol. They've done a great job with that car. And I'm glad it's not just a 7 series with a skirt on.

    probably cost reducing...honestly, this brand is not doing well at all. If they don't do some market research and go find a fucking audience for their cars and come up with something new they are gonna go broke pretty soon. I'd say they should invest in huge suv hatchback style cars that are designed to have no body roll and designed to be like their current cars, cocooning the owner in luxury, while also(like most other brands) have more high end tech in them.

    I was hoping to see more of its interior features. Since Autocar had the opportunity to drive it and spend time in it I assume you could share thoroughly the Phantom experience, showing the interior and its features. I mean, 99% of people watching this video won't have to opportunity to seat in one. The review was okay but I felt you could go into more detail instead of only narrating what you were feeling while driving.
