Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph

The Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph, produced from 1998 to 2002, was a 4-door full-size luxury sedan that marked a significant evolution in the brand’s lineage. It was the first model since the 1939 Phantom III to feature a V12 engine, reflecting Rolls-Royce’s commitment to leading automotive innovation into the 21st century. The design incorporated subtle styling elements reminiscent of previous Rolls-Royce models, while achieving a 65% increase in torsional stiffness compared to its predecessor. Advanced electronics were employed for digital engine management, a computer-controlled ZF 5-speed automatic gearbox, adaptive ride control, and anti-lock brakes. The interior maintained traditional luxury, featuring the finest leather for seats and trim, complemented by glossy walnut veneer on the dashboard, cappings, and picnic tables. The Silver Seraph’s introduction of a V12 engine and modern amenities represented a blend of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary engineering, embodying Rolls-Royce’s pursuit of building “the best car in the world” for the new millennium.
