Rolls-Royce Phantom

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom

The large and ultra-luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom is a stately and exclusive ride, with styling that admirers find classy and critics find ostentatious. Either way, there's no missing the giant, sterling-plated, aluminum grille with the famous Spirit of Ecstasy ornament on top, often called "The Flying Lady." Naturally, the Phantom has a posh interior, but it also has well-mannered driving characteristics, thanks to its awesome V12 engine. The Phantom sedan is offered in either a standard- or a long-wheelbase version with 10 extra inches in the backseat.
