Rolls-Royce has confirmed that the new Phantom will
debut on July 27 and has released two teaser images of the car.
The two pictures suggest that the design of the 2018
Phantom won’t be radically overhauled from the outgoing model, allowing the car
to still remain easily identifiable as the marque’s range-topping model. The
first teaser shows off the Phantom’s revised front grille and the customary
Spirit of Ecstasy flying above it.
As for the second teaser, it reveals the passenger
side of the dashboard and shows a wooden accent with a very detailed pattern.
An analogue clock can also be seen. It has previously been confirmed that the
new Phantom will be underpinned by an all-aluminum platform, ensuring it weighs
significantly less than the old car.
Additionally, Rolls-Royce’s global client
sales manager for the Asia Pacific Region, Ian Grant, recently announced that
the 2018 Phantom will have a four-wheel steering system. A twin-turbocharged V12 engine is expected to be the
standard engine on offer but a plug-in hybrid powertrain should arrive soon
after.
