Launched in 2003 and the first model to be introduced in the BMW owned era, the Phantom is Rolls-Royce’s flagship model. The Phantom would be initially produced in three configurations; Drophead Coupe, 2-door Coupe, and 4-door Saloon.The Phantom is not about a single superlative but a combination of biggest, most luxurious, most powerful, and fastest of the luxury sedans produced in the world today. Fresh thinking and attention to detail can be found on the Phantom. Coach “suicide” rear doors for ease of entry and exit, Teflon coated umbrellas housed in the rear doors, and the interlinked wheel centers which remain upright at all times, are just a few of the upscale details found on the Phantom. Ian Cameran, chief designer of the Rolls-Royce Motor Car Company states, “ Our absolute priority was to create a motor car that is clearly a Rolls-Royce even when the radiator grille is not in view. More than this, the new car has to stand apart from all others on the road.” Authentic design elements, such as a long hood and wheelbase, short front and long rear overhang, strong C pillar and discreet rear window, run throughout the Phantom, combining 21st century engineering with a genuine presence.A 6.75 liter V12 453 hp engine built by BMW to Rolls-Royce specification propels the Phantom from 0-60 in 5.9 seconds and a 14.3 quarter mile time through a 6-speed automatic transmission. The performance of the Phantom is belied only by its near total silence achieved within the cabin of the car. With aluminum body and sub-frame, the car weighs in at 5600 pounds, light considering its massive size.Presented, in breathtaking Royal Blue with Cornsilk Interior, is the premier example of Automobile Sedans. The 2005 Rolls Royce Phantom is equipped with the rare sunroof option, adding $3600 to the nearly $350,000.00 original MSRP. No expense has been spared in maintaining this top of the line Rolls Royce model. The Phantom will please the most discriminating of collector with its quality and grace. No longer a car to be enjoyed only by a Chauffer, the Rolls-Royce performs like a sports car providing the driver and passengers alike, with the highest level of refinement, power, coachwork, and interior ambience. With BMW’s influence, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is as technically advanced as the level of opulence it provides its owners.• Engineered by BMW• V-12 engine with 452 hp• Rare sunroof• 35,000 miles• Just completely serviced
