The All-New Super-Luxury Rolls-Royce Phantom Has Been Leaked
Pictures of the all-new Rolls-Royce Phantom have leaked onto Chinese media, after appearing to have been photographed on a computer screen.
The images, from an online brochure that isn’t meant to be live yet, prove that the new car keeps much of the old one’s looks, despite using a brand new platform that will be shared with the ‘Cullinan’ SUV the firm is working on.
It keeps the signature chrome grille and narrow headlights, albeit with a slightly altered shape, and the second pair of headlights is now gone. it looks like two-tone paint will again be a popular feature.
The images show a long-wheelbase Phantom, which isn’t news in itself because we knew it was coming, but we have to admit we’re a bit disappointed in the centre console, which, in these photos at least, doesn’t look much like it belongs in a £350,000 car.
On the other hand, the beautifully-carved dark wood trim inlay in another of the images looks every bit as finely crafted as you’d expect. Beneath the long bonnet there will be a V12, but we don’t yet know whether it will be an evolution of the same 6.75-litre unit we know and love from the old Phantom, or a tuned version of the more modern 6.6-litre BMW engine used by the Rolls-Royce Ghost, Wraith and Dawn.
The car will be officially revealed in just over a week’s time, at which point we should be able to bring you more and better images. If we’re lucky, there might even be a spec detail or two to cast your way.

Yay another luxury brick i guess?
And there’s the expected downvotes xD
I think about the same. An S-class, doesn’t even have to be the Maybach, is way more appealing to me.
Some things should be shaped like bricks and look good that way. Bricks are stronk
That’s one weirdly shaped Rolls-Royce, if I ever saw one.
Oh wait, it’s weirdly shaped because of the angle the photos were taken at. I am a genius. 🤓
As long as it’s imposing as a huge, modern English palace, then this will be a proper Roller. Just so long as they DON’T bang on about performance!!
Erm
The interior looks the same?
Why the downvotes?
Even the exterior makes no difference compared to the old one.
When you demand more from the king of Luxury.
This is better
BRUM!!
I think I’ve got that car somewhere xD.
Question is, how many buttons will it have?
Leaked to Chinese media… so they can get the copycat version ready in time.
pretty much lol
Chinese Rolls are even better. And they’re faaaaaar more cheaper.
I’m too lazy for this, but insert same but different gif.
