In Chicago, the Rolls‑Royce Phantom is less a car than a mobile salon of handcrafted materials and hush — a statement machine that lets you glide through the city in absolute comfort. Whether behind the wheel or eased into the rear seats through rear‑hinged coach doors, the Phantom pairs sumptuous interior appointments with a near‑silent V‑12 that delivers effortless power and presence.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE INTERIOR

Opulent comfort, crafted to calm

The Phantom’s cabin is described as pampering: sumptuous materials, generous space and the rear‑hinged coach doors that make entering and exiting a deliberate, ceremonial act — the interior is the primary stage for the experience.

THE ENGINE

Silent force: the V‑12 at work

Beneath the long hood a twin‑turbo 6.75‑liter V‑12 hums nearly silently while producing 563 hp; the car accelerates to 60 mph in about 5.0 seconds and delivers all‑wheel‑drive stability with an electronically managed automatic transmission.

THE PRESENCE

A defining symbol of status

With its huge waterfall grille and upright proportions, the Phantom reads immediately as a symbol of extravagance — a vehicle built to convey wealth, ceremony and unmistakable arrival.

What the day feels like

What being in a Phantom feels like

The experience is one of composure: the Phantom wafts over pavement imperfections, cocooning occupants in quiet and comfort while its V‑12 supplies effortless momentum. Whether you choose to pilot it or to be driven, the car preserves a sense of ceremony and calm that elevates even ordinary city driving.
