Let\u2019s discuss the Rolls-Royce Phantom history, its generations and model years in more detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolls-Royce Phantom Model History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Rolls-Royce is a premium luxury brand<\/a> that is unbeatable by peer vehicles in terms of craftsmanship and exclusivity. The Phantom series provides higher ride quality with a noiseless cabin. In fact, the series is named Phantom after a spirit that roams around noiselessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Here we have elaborated on the Rolls-Royce Phantom models and the features they offered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolls-Royce Phantom I (1925 to 1931)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Rolls-Royce

The Phantom I, at the time of its release, was considered a suitable \u201cGrand Touring\u201d vehicle. The car was powered by an overhead engine with a top speed of 104 km\/h. Along with this, a widened wheelbase<\/a>, signature radiator grille and four-wheel brakes were also offered in this model. Whereas, the interior was exclusively designed for each client by a coachworker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolls-Royce Phantom II (1929 to 1935)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After the success of Phantom I, the Phantom II was unveiled by Rolls-Royce in 1929. The exterior was designed with a long bonnet and removable roof. A six-cylinder engine provides the car with a top speed of 144 km\/h. This efficient engine was paired with a four-speed manual transmission system. The major improvement from its predecessor was the direct attachment of the gearbox to the engine, which increases its efficiency. The interior was still decorated on-demand by coachworkers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolls-Royce Phantom III (1935 to 1939)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the time of its launch in 1935, Phantom III was considered the most advanced vehicle across the globe. It was the first Rolls-Royce car offered with a 7.3-Litre  V12 engine<\/a>. The advanced V12 engine provides the car with a top speed of 152 km\/h. Moreover, the usage of independent front suspension, hydraulic tappets and braced chassis increased the handling and drivability of Phantom III. To create a distinguishing exterior, bonnet length was reduced and the front-radiator grille was raised high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolls-Royce Phantom IV (1950 to 1956)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Rolls-Royce

The production of the Phantom series was halted during WWII. Later, it was resumed in the 1950s with the release of Phantom IV. A limited number of Phantom IVs were manufactured only for the Royals and Nobles. The exterior work was still dependent upon coachbuilders. A powerful V8 engine<\/a> was used in these limited models.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolls-Royce Phantom V (1959 to 1968)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Rolls-Royce

The Sixties was an era of change for Rolls-Royce Phantom models. The Phantom V was a completely redesigned and technologically equipped car at that time. The company for the very first time launched a standard exterior body with a redesigned front fascia and quad headlights. Moreover, power-assist steering and drum brakes were standard in this generation. Under the hood, a V8 engine was accompanied by a hydromatic automatic transmission system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolls-Royce Phantom VI (1968 to 1991)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Rolls-Royce

In the history of Rolls-Royce Phantom, it is one of the longest-serving models. The Phantom VI remained in production for around 23 years. The initial models were powered by a 6.2-Litre V8 engine which was later upgraded to 6.75-Litre with a similar V configuration. It was the last Rolls-Royce to use a separate chassis. Separate front and rear air conditioning units, drum brakes and coilover suspension<\/a> were standard in all the cars of this generation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolls-Royce Phantom VII (2003 to 2016)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Rolls-Royce

The Phantom VII was designed to meet modern automotive standards. The car was launched in different body styles, including a four-door sedan, two-door coupe and drophead. Despite modernisation, hand-finished customisation was still preferred over automated processes. The iconic emblem ‘Spirit of Ecstasy\u2019 was installed with a retractable feature. The car was powered by a 6.75-Litre V12 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission system<\/a> and a double-wishbone suspension system. The car can accelerate from o to 100km\/h within 5.9 seconds. Phantom VII received a facelift in 2013 with a newly designed radiator grille and LED lights. The rear bumpers and interior dash were also redesigned in this facelift.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII (2018 to 2021)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Rolls-Royce

The exterior of Phantom VII is similar to its predecessors with a long bonnet and short front overhang. To create a night vision inside the  cabin, \u2018Straight Headliner\u2019 prepared from 1500 fibre optics is installed. Moreover, the cabin is divided into front and rear half with complete soundproofing. A 6.75-Litre V12 engine is used that can provide a top speed of 250 km\/h. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
