The development programme for the eighth generation of the
Rolls-Royce Phantom, considered to be the ‘Best Car in the World’, has
taken another significant step forward. New images of the all-new
aluminium architecture being engineered at the Home of Rolls-Royce in
Goodwood show how well the project is advancing and how the new
Phantom is taking shape. This all-new hi-tech aluminium architecture
will underpin the new Phantom, which arrives in 2018, as well as all
other future Rolls-Royces.
In the meantime demand for all four models of the current
Phantom VII has remained strong since the announcement in February of
this year that it will be replaced. Patrons and connoisseurs of true
luxury, unwilling to compromise their expectations of an authentic
super-luxury motor car, have snapped up all 50 of the final Phantom
Coupé and Drophead Coupé Zenith Collection cars.
In addition they and their trusted Rolls-Royce dealers around
the world are requesting further Bespoke Collections and one-off
examples of the pinnacle Phantom limousine before the line closes on
31 December 2016. In recognition of this demand, Rolls-Royce is
developing highly-individual cars which will be offered in order to
satisfy demand well into 2017.
“To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of Phantom’s death are
greatly exaggerated,” said Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive
Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “The huge level of demand for Phantom
VII, which we will fulfil well into 2017, clearly demonstrates that
the Rolls-Royce customer and patron of true luxury will accept no
compromise when considering the purchase of a super-luxury motor car,
and will not be seduced by mass-luxury brands. I am proud and excited
to confirm that a new Phantom is on the way – and it will be a
contemporary and beautiful Phantom befitting of its role as the
flagship of global luxury."
