When it comes to luxury, none can come closer to perfection than Rolls Royce. Over the decades, they have strived hard and with great results to maintain this image. The Phantom is the epitome of this luxurious image. The back seat has been called as a throne too many times now and the sound reduction technology in use can only be experienced to be believed. Some of the novel features that this car has need to be must read by every car afficando.

Novel features

- Instead of a tachometer, the car has a power reserve dial indicating how much of the engine's power is left available to the driver.

- The rear doors are rear-hinged, a style commonly referred to as suicide doors, but called 'coach doors' by Rolls-Royce. Because of the rear-seating position in relation to the rear inner-door handles, buttons are mounted on both C-pillars which operate hydraulic motors in order to close the rear doors. An electronic lock prevents the doors from being accidentally opened when moving.

- The rear doors feature pop-out umbrellas. Fans are installed in the holding compartment to remove moisture when the umbrellas are stored.

- The traditional Spirit of Ecstasy ornament has an electronic retraction mechanism to prevent theft and protect pedestrians in the event of an accident. It may also be retracted by the driver at the touch of a button.

- The 'RR' logos on each of the wheel hubs are independent bezels in order to always remain upright while the wheel is rotating.

Only 10,000 of these beauties will ever be built. The base price is £250,000 in the UK and $300,000 in the US. Surprisingly the Phantom denies the owner luxuries such as seat warmers, seat coolers, or massage functions which are there on the Maybach and are a must have for this price.
