A Car Fit for a King<\/strong>
\nSince 1925, Phantom has been the ultimate ceremonial chariot, conveying some of the world\u2019s most influential men and women to defining moments in history. Rolls-Royce cars were the preserve of Maharajas in India. Legend has it that the Maharaja of Mysore ordered seven cars at a time, while The Last Nizam of Hyderabad, Sir Mir Osman Khan Siddiqi Asaf Jah VII, purchased over 50 Rolls-Royce motor cars over his lifetime.<\/p>\n

Setting the New Benchmark<\/strong>
\nRolls-Royce\u2019s tireless \u2018strive for perfection\u2019 has resulted in the constant refinement of this pinnacle luxury item \u2013 with New Phantom now taking the centre stage of India\u2019s super-luxury arena.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch, Vasanthi Bhupati, Managing Director for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Chennai and KUN Exclusive said, \u201cPhantom has always been a sign of success and a symbol of authority in India. New Phantom is the latest iteration of the revered flagship of the Rolls-Royce brand, with a bold yet elegant design underpinned by engineering attention to detail. It is a moving showcase of luxury, world-class technology and handcrafted quality.\u201d
\nAdded Paul Harris, Asia Pacific Regional Director, Rolls Royce Motor Cars, \u201cFor well over a century, Rolls-Royce has been a global icon for luxury manufacturing excellence, with India an important part of the brand\u2019s history. New Phantom has again been reinstated as \u2018The Best Car inthe World,\u2019 setting the new benchmark in India for authentic, bespoke luxury. It is yet another original masterpiece discerning Indians have come to admire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cutting-edge innovations include a new exclusive \u2018Architecture of Luxury\u2019, an all-aluminium spaceframe designed to underpin every future Rolls-Royce; great enhancements in technology, drivetrain, suspension and driver assistance systems to produce a peerless \u2018magic carpet ride\u2019; and a new, world-first \u2018Gallery\u2019 that allows owners to personalise a moving art piece.<\/p>\n

Engineering Masterpiece<\/strong>
\nNew Phantom offers a thoroughly contemporary design interpretation of Rolls-Royce DNA \u2013 one that symbolizes the sheer power of presence. The new spaceframe, exclusive to Rolls-Royce and which will underpin all future Rolls-Royce models, is lighter, yet 30% more rigid than its predecessors.<\/p>\n

A next-generation four-corner air suspension system, state-of-the-art chassis control systems, 130kg of sound insulation, double-laminated glass and dual-skin alloys across the bulkhead ensure New Phantom is the pinnacle of comfort and quietness. When Rolls-Royce\u2019s acoustic test engineers reviewed the results of road and vibration tests, the sound levels were so low, they had to check if their instruments were calibrated correctly.
\nAn all-new, 6.75 litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine delivers an effortless 563hp and 900Nm of torque from just 1,700rpm, spiriting New Phantom from 0-100km\/h in a mere 5.4 seconds with the help of its seamless 8 speed, Satellite-Aided transmission.<\/p>\n

In addition, New Phantom is equipped with the \u2018Flagbearer\u2019 \u2013 a stereo camera system integrated into the windscreen that sees the road ahead and adjusts the suspension proactively. Its headlights are equipped with the latest laser light technology, providing a 600-metre range of light at night to ensure safe travel.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Suite\u2019<\/strong>
\nA divine selection of materials has been placed thoughtfully throughout the interior of New Phantom. As a result, being inside New Phantom is akin to entering a luxury hotel \u2018suite\u2019 with passengers being cocooned in the finest leathers and veneers. All four doors can now also be electrically closed from the exterior via touch sensitive door handles.<\/p>\n

A curated selection of rear seating options is available on New Phantom, from the lounge to individual formats. Technology is discreetly hidden throughout the car until required, leaving only the visual majesty of wood, leather and billeted metal for all to admire.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Gallery\u2019<\/strong>
\nThe centrepiece of New Phantom is \u2018The Gallery\u2019 \u2013 a wholly contemporary and luxury reinterpretation of a motor car\u2019s dashboard and instrument panel area.<\/p>\n

An application of glass runs uninterrupted across the fascia of the New Rolls-Royce Phantom, providing an unprecedented opportunity to present commissioned artwork. The initiative has come from an understanding that the marque\u2019s patrons are increasingly collectors of fine and contemporary art.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>
\nThe Architecture of Luxury, The Gallery, The Magic Carpet Ride, the best possible materials in the world and peerless Rolls-Royce design and engineering combine to create the New Rolls-Royce Phantom, resetting the benchmark not only in the automotive arena but as the world\u2019s leading luxury item. As the next chapter in Rolls-Royce\u2019s story begins, the New Rolls-Royce Phantom points the way forward for the global luxury industry.
