Rolls-Royce Phantom VII
The Rolls-Royce Phantom VII, introduced in 2003 as the first model under BMW ownership, set new standards in modern luxury motoring. Powered by a 6.75-liter V12 engine delivering 460 horsepower and 720 Nm of torque, the Phantom VII achieves 0-60 mph in approximately 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 149 mph. Available in standard and extended wheelbase versions, it features an adaptive air suspension, rear-hinged coach doors, and advanced noise insulation. In 2012, the Series II update introduced an 8-speed automatic transmission, LED headlamps, and subtle design enhancements. Production concluded in 2017, marking the end of this highly influential model.
