RR Phantom 2018 

I feel like Sinatra tonight, ready to sing Strangers in the night....I mean really looking at this car or monument, Yacht on wheels requires a vest jacket a hint of Burberry, and Salvatore Ferragamo Loafers...I would pay someone to get the English accent. The makings of a classic car, I guess when you pay over 250K you expect your car to stand the test of time. The presence makes any normal human feel like they descended from Pleiadia....The subtle changes are what makes the still beauty an ageless one ala the fountain of youth. The fun only begins here we present where Kings and Queens come in:



Rolls Royce Phantom: 
Speaking of Dynasties and your majesties it's no wonder that they are marketing this car in the country that likes Luxury over speed and to be driven rather than drive, welcome to the Museum of China. The 8th generation RR flagship steps out first on the magic carpet ride with the highlight - THE MOST SILENT MOTOR CAR IN THE WORLD. Folks I know that doesn't mean much to racers but think about a moment V12 engine and a couple of layers of aluminium welded joints that would make the Pyramid layers seem light, matter fact you may think this was bulletproof.  The delivery doesn't stop there all modern engines need to be Turbo'd to meet fuel emissions but in addition to the sweet smooth ride of a V12 they manage to add the turbochargers and the ZF 8 speed, there you have it a combination made to push 563 hp and 900 nm of torque.


Design
The eloquent mosaic peers down on your eye with almost a sinister look now the design still the same but the engineering is at work creating small leaps from mankind including virtually no joint lines, the changing of the guard for the grille, and to keep you honest of its 1950's and 60's derriere pass it off as good as black & white films. Ahh the Great Gatsby of the car, or the great penguin... You know a car is top notch when your making reference to films and cartoon's over every line. The highlight is the all aluminium body that has more rigidity and sound deadening weight than the hunk of the steel that it replaces. Rolls Royce still has the thunk when you close the door and also still has a palace somewhere in the world to be parked. 

Some things are better off unspoken, some heavyweights want to be heavy, and some billionaires love to be driven in all the Rolls Royce is the inspiration of a car that tells a tale without having to say to much. Look at that guy he must've made it....there is no doubt about it.
