Goodwood, England - To mark the 80th anniversary of the Phantom name, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has produced a limited edition of 25 specially-designed cars.

The original Phantom was launched in the summer of 1925, followed by the Phantom II in 1929 and the Phantom III in 1936. It returned following the war with the Phantom IV in 1950. In 2003, the name was chosen for an all-new car, built in Goodwood under the ownership of BMW Group.

Each of the special-edition Phantoms has a black or black-and-silver exterior, a silver hand-painted coach line, 21-inch aluminum wheels, a wine cooler, DVD system, and leather tops on the picnic tables. The glove box contains a Conway Stewart fountain pen set. On sale now, the limited edition is priced at US$329,500.

 

I was just watching a show on Speed Channel last night on the history of Rolls Royces. They were right, the last real Rolls Royce was from the 50's or 60's? I don't recall.

 

Really?? Then what the heck were the other models?? Posers??


Out of all the Ultra Luxo sedans today, the Rolls Royce looks the best. This thing is HUGE!! Tall big body, huge wheels, chrome everywhere just like the classic RR. I love it.

 

Real meaning all 100% hand built by Mr Royce's team. Limited edition and very exclusive. The newest one is just an ugly interpretation by BMW.

 

Common guys, it would make a nice daily driver.

 

I would rather be driven in this one, I'd rather drive a Bentley Continental GT coupe.

 

Well......I'm not picky. Put ME behind the wheel of either one.

( And I wouldn't do donuts with the Bronx salute in front of the dealership either....remember that one? )

Real, fake, poser ask me if I even care, that thing is just beautiful I'll take it over anything labled luxury. That and the Bentley GT are my 2 most favorite Luxury autos on the planet right now.

 

With this Phantom, I think people will think you are the chauffer even if you own the car.

 

You know I never thought about that, thats funny..If your driving just don't wear black eh.

 

..........and stock up on Grey Poupon.

 

hahaha. That comercial was great.

 

Ture indeed, but I saw Allen Iverson driving one not to long ago. I dont think anyone is going to mistake him for a chauffer. I followed him for a bit, but he floored it and disappeared quickly.

 

I saw one these over the weekend behind me in line getting my Yukon washed at a 'Jack's' car wash. What I don't understand is......why would you put a $300k+ vehicle through a $20 automated-hand washed system in the hands of $7/hr. workers???

 

I believe I saw the Special Edition on Friday during my lunch break at Cafe Metro on Lexington Ave and 46th st in Manhattan. This one had the black top(hood, roof, and trunk only) and the silver bottom. It also had aftermarket black rims with a chrome lip. The black, silver, and chrome go hand in hand. This is by far the most attractive Phantom I have ever seen to date. Absolutely stunning. I see an all black Phantom every day and the SE blows it away.

I wonder who owns this as the Special Edition model is a very rare sighting. Only 25 made.
