Rolls Royce unveils Phantom 2018 with all-new aluminium architecture
Rolls-Royce has unveiled its new Phantom 2018 at an event in London’s Mayfair. The company said the new model is the “most technologically-advanced Rolls-Royce ever”. The Phantom comes with all-aluminium spaceframe chassis. The Phantom 2018 will go on sale in early 2018.
The aluminium architecture makes it lighter and 30 per cent stiffer than its predecessor. “Phantom [VIII] is the most up to date technology driven Rolls Royce we have ever done in history so far, ” Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars said at a press event.
“This Phantom is a pleasure for all your senses. It is impossible to beat and there are no others around who can deliver similar things.”

Rolls-Royce said, “Incalculable effort was expended to create 'the most silent motor car in the world' including 6mm two-layer glazing all around the car, more than 130kg of sound insulation, the largest ever cast aluminium joints in a body-in-white for better sound insulation.”
The new model sports 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 powertrain delivering 563bhp and 900NM of torque and a ZF 8-Speed gearbox. It has 12.3 inch TFT colour displays with LED backlighting, WiFi hotspot, and the latest navigation and entertainment systems.
