N/A / 5
Rolls-Royce Phantom:
Automaker Rolls-Royce has used the Phantom name on full-sized luxury cars and limousines since 1925, making it the longest-used car model nameplate in automotive history.
In the 20th century, the Rolls-Royce Phantom was a very low volume, hand-built limousine, which in its first four generations was custom coachbuilt to the customer's requests, and sometimes extravagant desires.

VII Extended Wheelbase Overview:
Rolls-Royce Phantom (VII Extended Wheelbase). With 720 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. At around 2670 kg, it’s on the heavier side. Rear‑wheel drive offers dynamic handling and sporty feedback. Acceleration is excellent (0–100 km/h in 5.9 s). The top speed reaches 240 km/h. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
Performance Verdict
The 6.75L V12 delivers immense, effortless power, propelling the large Phantom with surprising grace and acceleration. It's designed for smooth, refined cruising rather than outright speed.
Fuel Economy
As expected for a naturally aspirated V12 of this displacement and the vehicle's weight, fuel consumption is very high, particularly in urban driving conditions.
Best Use Case:
Chauffeur-driven executive transport, long-distance luxury cruising, and making a grand entrance.
