2018 Rolls Royce Phantom screams opulence in static preview

You’ll want to move in and live inside it after seeing this video

Rolls Royce has replaced its Phantom this year with an all-new model that builds upon the outgoing car’s qualities with a bigger infusion of tech than before. We won’t comment on the way the exterior looks, but we will say that long hood dominates everything and oozes wealth and opulence.

Step inside and you are struck by the apparent simplicity of everything – there aren’t that many visible buttons, and everything is laid out in an uncluttered, fuss-free kind of way. The materials look amazing and the air of outright luxury is present wherever you look, as per this early walkaround video posted below.

Naturally, back seat passengers are pampered in this car and have a variety of functions at their disposal which they can operate from the rear. And also the Phantom’s self-closing actuated doors are pretty trick too and actually useful in some situations, especially if you’re a rear passenger – the rear rear-hinged (suicide) doors are a bit awkward to close manually.
