Rolls-Royce Phantom
Specifications
” Strive for perfection in everything. Take the best that exist and make it better. If it doesn’t exist, create it. Accept nothing nearly right or good enough.” – Henry Royce
The Rolls-Royce Phantom called the 2003 among enthusiasts. This was the first Rolls-Royce developed under the wings of BMW. In 1998, Rolls-Royce was sold along with Bentley to the Volkswagen concern. However, the rights to the Rolls-Royce name were owned by Rolls Royce Aerospace. That in turn sold the name to BMW.
The 2003 shares about 15% of its parts with the BWM range. A perfect combination if you ask us; engine BMW, the beautiful style and class of a Brit. BMW tapped into a separate dealer network specifically for the launch of the Phantom. They wanted to avoid the same mistake made with Mercedes earlier; the Maybach was seen as the ultimate Mercedes.
The 2003 Phantom has a 6,750 cc powerplant, which is a nod to previous Rolls-Royce models. This time it was a BMW engine with 12 cylinders, which brought 453 ornamental horses. In 2005, the first facelift was unveiled. So our model has a longer wheelbase (250 mm) and got some options like the Power reserve gauge. So the Phantom does not have a tachometer, but it shows how much of its power is still available. In addition, umbrellas came in the rear doors (present in new condition) and the distinctive Spirit of Ecstasy figure automatically disappeared in the grill when the car was closed.
The Phantom is a statement of luxury and comfort. After electrically closing curtains in the back (side windows and rear window), you can enjoy the starry sky above you in peace. Or you fold out the table, which contains a large screen for all the necessary modern entertainment. Driving this car yourself is also a treat. The overwhelming torque and ultimate flexibility make for a fantastic driving experience.
As a Phantom with its condition, mileage (42,639 km) and right color composition, this is the right time to surround yourself with British beauty and German engineering!
” When things don’t happen right away, remember it takes 6 months to build a Rolls-Royce. 13 hours to build a Toyota. ” – Rolls Royce
