The Rolls-Royce Phantom is the first new model from the new Rolls-Royce Motor Cars as a part of the BMW Group. Phantom is a showcase of modern technology, featuring an aluminum space-frame with aluminum panels and composite front fenders, and follows the philosophy of Sir Henry Royce who said: �Strive for perfection in everything you do.� One of the pioneering marques in the automotive world was created when Englishmen Charles Stewart Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce joined forces in 1904. After taking a trip in a car that ran poorly and proved unreliable, Royce decided he could design a much better car, and did just that.
Rolls-Royce continues to build each Rolls-Royce Phantom with the details tailored to the new owner's specifications. The Phantom is now available with an extended wheelbase that adds an additional 10 inches of room for rear-seat passengers while only adding 160 pounds in additional weight. The Phantom Drophead Coupe, a two-door four-seat convertible will join the sedan, followed by the Phantom Coupe, scheduled to go into production in the summer of 2008.
