This is the new Rolls Royce Phantom. Changes compared with the old model are few and far between, the biggest of which being the addition of an imperceptibly smooth eight-speed automatic gearbox. This is still the pinnacle of luxury travel

RR?
Inside, it looks great,really no expense spaired, but, on the outside, well, Black would be my last choice, ministerial car,royal transport,dictator car,bright colors like blue,green,even a grey for heavens sake,plus,i don't know about you, but it looks as if they have forgotten some of the trim on the bodywork,i don't like the rear boot area, it looks too small compared to the rest of the car. This is Britain's luxury car export, most will be sold in the Gulf states and China, i just think it's an unresolved car exterior-wise.

Fantastic design that doesn't
Fantastic design that doesn't look dated at all. The Phantom and the Ghost have kept Bentley in the shade.

Sublime package and quality
Sublime package and quality craftmanship....but just like the Range Rovers, the illusion is slightly spoilt when you pull up behind one and cop a dirty great eyefull of the girders/ exhaust boxes/ spare wheel etc underneath the rear bumper, usually grubby and rusty!
Small point but always reminds me of a Mondeo.
Great review.
Matt's about my favourite reviewer around at the moment. The reasons? Gravitas and sound editorial judgment. I believe what he says. He's not leaping about in your face, saying things for effect. Exactly what an Autocar video review should be.
The car is truly hideous -
The car is truly hideous - over-sized, ugly and quite, quite vulgar.
I agree that the reviewer is very good, though.
