Rolls-Royce's name alone speaks of luxury and history in automobile construction. The British manufacturer Rolls-Royce is well known all over the world since the end of the 19th century. Some models have lived for more than a dozen years and have endured many generations, but they still remain a legend and a classic among all models of this company. One such example is the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

For the first time, the car was presented back in 1925 and immediately gained unprecedented popularity. Until today, the sedan has survived more than 6 generations and received many improvements. It's not worth talking about any specific configuration of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018-2019, since each of the options is unique and will surprise you in its own way. Still, whatever one may say, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is luxury and style with a huge history and popularity. Let's not get aggravated by the details of luxury and consider the main details of the exterior, interior and characteristics of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2019-2020.

The appearance of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2019-2020

Outwardly, confusing the new and stylish Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 with other cars is in no way possible, as it is unique in its kind and has its own character. Every detail of the exterior suggests that the British car is not only an indicator of the capacity of the wallet, but also that the owner has taste and status. I would like to note right away that the manufacturer did not save on materials and parts, since this is not according to the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 status, only real parts were used.

Before the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 looks intimidating, in principle, this is the basic style and character of the car. The radiator grille is chrome plated as standard with vertical ribs in the center. Like most parts, the radiator grill of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2019-2020 is made by hand, which is very important for such a status car.

It's no secret that in 1998, BMW bought Rolls-Royce Motors from the engineering company Vickers Limited, thereby breathing new life into this luxurious and at the same time the most expensive sedan in the world.

At first glance, the front end of the 8th generation sedan has barely changed and it is easy to confuse it with the previous generation Rolls-Royce Phantom. But still, if you look closely, there are differences, first of all, it is a completely new LED optics with special laser-phosphor elements that can illuminate the road at a great distance. According to the manufacturer, the lighting range in this mode is about 600 meters, if necessary, it can be increased or decreased. The optics of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 are capable of adapting to the terrain, as well as recognizing vehicles in front. The front optics of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 is made on the basis of modern LED elements that act as daytime running lights.

The main, classic and unchanging detail of all Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 is of course the emblem and statuette on the hood. In the world, this statuette is known as the Spirit of Ecstasy (Spirit of Ecstasy) and is an integral part of all cars of this brand. Many legends of situations and, of course, improvements by engineers are associated with this statuette.

The figurine was first installed on the hood of the company's cars in 1923 and is an integral attribute. The figure depicts Eleanor Velasco Thornton, the mistress of John Douglas-Scott-Montague, who in turn was the best friend of engineers Charles Stuart Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce. By his individual order in March 1911, the car was equipped with this figurine, and over time, many began to imitate the owner, installing the same figurines on the hoods of their luxury cars.

Spirit of Ecstasy figurines were generally cast in high-value metals, up until today. The first figurines were made of bronze and stainless steel, then they began to be made of silver and gold. Precious metals became the main reason why these figures began to steal and simply rip off the hoods of Rolls-Royce cars. The engineers were given a chain of tasks on how to preserve the precious logo of the company and the result was not long in coming. The protection system is capable of reacting to touch in the statuette and hiding it at lightning speed under the hood of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. As statistics showed, this significantly reduced the situation with the theft of company figurines. On the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018, they also propose to install a crystal figurine with illumination, which looks very unusual and mesmerizing at night.

The front bumper of the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom sedan includes only the central lower part, the upper part refers to the side fenders, right down to the location of the front optics. The lower part of the bumper for the most part consists of additional radiator grilles and black mesh inserts, but the designers disguised the very center as a black insert, this is where all the sensors, sensors and radars of the safety and comfort systems of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2019-2020 are located.

Least of all changes were made on the hood of the updated Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018. The designers left the formerly recognizable two-tone paint, with two chrome edging to the front pillars. This design move not only preserved the "evil" and rough style of the sedan, but also showed some of the sedan luxury for which it is so famous. The windshield of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 remains the same as before. The standard kit includes full perimeter heating, light tinting and a pair of radars behind the center mirror.

Most of all, you can find out the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 from the side, it is this part that immediately distinguishes this car from other premium sedans. Most of all, the unusual doors that are inherent only for this brand are striking. The front doors open according to the standard, but the rear doors open in proportion to the opposite - from front to back. The main difference between the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 and the previous generation is the presence of an electric door drive and all kinds of systems for passenger boarding. Doors can be opened or closed remotely, handles are made of stainless steel, and in some cases can be silver or gold. In other words, you don't need to push the door to close it, just press the button on the doorknob.

The quality of the execution and closing of doors cannot be compared with anything, since this is the maximum from the possible. If you got caught in the rain and did not take an umbrella with you, no problem, the manufacturer has taken care of this in advance. A pair of umbrellas are hidden in the door panel, which jump out of the side of the doors when a special button is pressed. It should be understood that the British manufacturer did not pay lip service to the luxury in the car, making every effort.

The front and rear wheel arches of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 are slightly different from the previous generation. The front ones have become more flattened and flush with the main part of the wing, the rear arches are more convex above the rear wing. To further emphasize the sedan's bottom, the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 is mounted on signature 21 ″ forged wheels, one of five designs.

Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 side mirrors are the maximum that can be embodied in one thing today. The engineers calculated the size of the mirrors as conveniently as possible, they are not very large, but not small either. The standard set of mirrors includes electrical adjustment, heating, mirror memory for several modes, side cameras, but there are no LED turn signal repeaters, although for this class of Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 it would be a little humiliating, because they do not at all fit into the general strict style of the sedan ...

The side windows of the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom sedan remain the same, with a dedicated chrome bezel, auto-tinted front and maximum tinted rear. For comfort, the rear windows are equipped with sun blinds and all kinds of comfort functions. In addition to the famous Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 in the sedan body, the manufacturer also offers this model in the form of a coupe and convertible.The only difference will be in the door part, but the rest of the details are the same.

The body colors of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 sedan, as before, are available in the most sophisticated versions:

• white;
• the black;
• silver;
• burgundy;
• red;
• blue;
• dark green;
• brown.

This is a minimal list of the most common exterior shades of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018; the buyer is also offered a two-tone body color or, according to an individual request, choose one of 44,000 shades. In a word, the buyer is not limited in his choice and desire.

The rear of the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom sedan has been updated in some details, otherwise the shape and style are the same. The difference from other sedans is the classic look and the unusual tilt of the rear window paired with the trunk lid. Designers have been observing a similar shape since the first generations of the car, thereby giving it a special British style. The rear feet of the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom sedan are LED-based, with chrome trims installed in the center and along the contour.The luggage compartment cover of the 2018-2019 Rolls-Royce Phantom is large enough to indicate a spacious luggage compartment. For a convertible, the luggage compartment will be smaller due to the folding roof. An integral part of the exterior design of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 remains a chrome insert on the end of the trunk, with the company's emblem, a little below the recess for license plates and a rear-view camera. The rear bumper of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 is now more rounded instead of a sharp shape, with dedicated parking sensors and two chrome tips of the two exhaust pipes.

Rounding off the solid exterior of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 is the roof. As already mentioned, the manufacturer offers three options: sedan, coupe and convertible. The sedan can be with a solid roof, or it can get a huge panoramic roof with super strong glass. Rolls-Royce Phantom Convertible 2018 will receive a folding roof, unfortunately, a hatch in such a body is not provided due to technical considerations. The rear of the roof of the sedan and coupe is decorated with a shark fin antenna, but the convertible will get a whip antenna on the body of the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom.

You can talk about the appearance of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 for a long time, describing the details and different equipment options. In general, the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2019 remained recognizable and still the most expensive sedan in the world, besides this new product they want to attribute the status of the most expensive coupe and convertible. The exterior of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 still looks solid, attractive and truly luxurious.

Salon of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2019-2020

If the exterior is luxurious, then the interior of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 is considered by many to be in excess of luxury, the environment of all existing production cars. It makes no sense to talk about a specific set in the interior of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018, since it is completed according to the individual order of the buyer. From the style of the upholstery to the details of the decor. To understand what the interior of this model is so famous for, consider the standard equipment, which is most often offered to the buyer.

For the interior decoration of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018, the designers used only natural materials, no substitutes are expected. The front panel of the sedan is decorated with wood from a single piece, as well as leather upholstery and aluminum inserts. The centerpiece of the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom is a large retractable 12.25 ″ touchscreen display of the multimedia system. The multimedia was based on Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink. The multimedia also boasts a mobile connection, 4G Internet and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

To the right of the display is a well-known mechanical watch, which over time began to be copied by other manufacturers. Before the advent of multimedia systems, Rolls-Royce Phantom watches were centered on a pair of air ducts. Now the air ducts were lowered down, giving them a round shape. Other interior details of the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom are made in a similar, round style.

To give an unusual style to the interior of the novelty, multimedia, the dashboard and clock were placed under the glass, making one continuous protection. According to the manufacturer, this is a kind of gallery for the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018, the background of the gallery can be customized, from a portrait to an all-gold outfit. In other words, any whim for your money. It is worth noting that the gallery on the front panel in any version will be made by hand, and this significantly increases the status of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018.

On the center console of the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom, the audio control panel and the three-zone climate control panel are located, paired with heated seat controls. The center tunnel of the new 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom is small but includes the most essential comfort and control features. Previously, the usual gear lever was replaced with a selector, with a choice of suspension mode. All kinds of chargers, including wireless Qi, are hidden behind a small plug. The front part of the tunnel ends with an armrest between the seats, with a full set of comfort systems, the standard set includes a refrigerator for drinks, additional chargers and a spacious compartment for small items.

The driver's seat of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 remained unchanged, the designers decided not to change the classics, giving a little modern forms. The dashboard of the new car is made on the basis of a color 12.3 ″ display, divided into several elements and the ability to customize at any time as you wish. The central part of the panel is reserved for the speedometer, the left part for the tachometer, and on the right, all kinds of car status indicators. If the dashboard has changed slightly, then the steering wheel of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 remains the same. The steering wheel is round in shape and covered with leather, the standard is three spokes, with wood and chrome inserts.

Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 engineers have moved away from the usual theory of the location of the buttons on the side spokes, installing them in a circle in the center of the steering wheel, most of the buttons are touch-sensitive and perform an unlimited number of functions, that is, you can customize yourself at will. As they say, both stylish and practical. You can adjust the steering wheel by reach and height using an electric drive. To the left of the steering wheel of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018, there is a control panel for lighting devices, as well as a Start / Stop button for the engine. This not only simplified handling, but also improved the sedan's styling.

The front seats of the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom are made with the latest in comfort, in addition to a good fit and lateral support, engineers have added a lot of features. The seat can be adjusted in at least 18 directions, including adjusting the angle of the headrest. Massage, heating and cooling have been added to the set of front seats.

The second row of seats of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 sedan turned out to be much more luxurious. There is no standard set, the second row is completely individual. According to the standard, it is designed for two passengers (in a compartment and a convertible it is designed for three passengers). Each of the seats in the second row of the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom sedan can be adjusted individually, in the same way as you can set the temperature and other comfort settings. For convenience, large displays and pull-out tables are installed in the backs of the front seats. There is a lot of space for the second row in the usual configuration, and there is plenty of it in the elongated base, similarly, the manufacturer has provided many settings, with access to all comfort systems. If necessary, the rear right passenger of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 can fold the front seat at the push of a button, thereby increasing legroom, with a massage pad.

The ceiling of Rolls-Royce Phantom 2018 will surprise you by an order of magnitude more, the cladding can be very diverse, but the main feature is the "starry sky", repeating the night sky and stars. With polished wood, the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom's starry sky is reflected in every detail of the interior, adding even more luxury to the cabin. High-quality Nappa leather, suede and all kinds of expensive materials are used as the material for the upholstery. The colors of the interior are generally unpredictable and are selected individually, it can be black, white, red or combined.
