2003–2017 Rolls-Royce Phantom Specs & Performance

The Rolls-Royce Phantom marked a fresh beginning for the marque, pairing its unmistakable formal styling with a thoroughly modern approach to luxury. Its tall grille, rear-hinged coach doors, and imposing proportions created a strong road presence, while the spacious cabin emphasized fine materials and exceptional passenger comfort. Built around a dedicated aluminium spaceframe, the Phantom blended traditional craftsmanship with contemporary engineering, establishing a new flagship identity for Rolls-Royce in the modern era.

For 2003–2017, the Phantom used a naturally aspirated 6.7-litre V12 producing 454 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission sent power to the rear wheels, delivering smooth acceleration despite the car’s considerable size. With a listed top speed of 149 mph, it combined commanding performance with the quiet, composed ride expected of a flagship luxury saloon.
