16.02.2008 - Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will unveil its new Phantom Coupé at the 78th International Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday, 4 March 2008. Production of the new car will start at Goodwood in the summer of 2008.

There are few cars that are as dramatic as the Jonckheere Coupe. Its imposing length, menacing curves and oversize grill make most other pre-war cars look boring. And it certainly makes most other Rolls-Royces look staid by comparison. Furthermore, the benchmarks of size, stature, cost and risk will probably never be reached again. If we had to pick the most memorable Rolls-Royce, this would have...

The world's oldest surviving Rolls-Royce, which dates from 1904, was sold today (3 December 2007) by Bonhams for 3,521,500 GBP breaking two world records. This is the highest price ever paid at auction for both a Rolls-Royce and a veteran car (pre-1905).

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited has revealed the all-new Rolls-Royce Phantom today at the company's new manufacturing plant and head office at Goodwood in West Sussex, UK. It is just four and a half years since BMW Group became the custodians of the Rolls-Royce marque for automotive use, in July 1998, and committed to launch a new company, a new plant and a new motor car in January 2003. Entirely...

Rebodied in 1947 by Labourdette of Paris, this Phantom III was the designer's last and arguably most daring work. It was commissioned by the flamboyant Louis Ritter who let Labourdette go all out, so much so, the body alone cost $44 000 which made it one of the most expensive of its time- equal to around $375 000 in 2003.

Of the 1680 Phantom IIs, this is the only example that received coachwork from Figoni et Falaschi, one of the most sought after French design houses of the period. Known for their smooth, flowing designs, Figoni et Falaschi's Rolls was untypical of the stoat coachwork usually found on other Phantoms. The lines of the car, especially at the rear distinguish it, not only from any other Rolls-Royce, ...

TUESDAY 28 FEBRUARY 2006 - 101EX is the latest experimental model to come from Rolls-Royce, hand-built to explore a design direction for a modern coupe. It is the company's second experimental car in 24 months, following 100EX, which was seen at Geneva in 2004 and marked the company's Centenary. Rolls-Royce's first experimental car, 1EX, was built in 1919 and based on the Silver Ghost.

The Phantom VI introduced in 1968 was similar to the Phantom V it replaced, but with a larger V8 engine. The transmission was changed to a three speed unit and hydraulically powered steering and brakes were fitted.

In its first few years of production, the Silver Ghost was the best touring car in the world. The very first example, #60551 bodied by Barker Roi de Belges, is the most valuble car in the world. Built in 1906 before regular prodution began, it finished some very public durability tests which set the standard for all Rolls-Royces that followed.

Two years after the launch of the Phantom, Rolls-Royce is pleased to announce an extended wheelbase version. An extra 250 mm has been added to the standard length Phantom, behind the B-pillar, to create a motor car with an even more generously proportioned rear passenger compartment. Coach doors open to 80 degrees, offering exceptionally graceful egress and ingress. The new longer wheelbase P...

The 100EX is the first Experimental Car to be produced by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars since BMW Group became the custodians of the marque in 1998 and launched the all-new Phantom at the company's new home in Goodwood in January 2003.

The most luxurious car available on the market is the Rolls-Royce Phantom. It is the the first car produced after the company was bought by BMW and one of the most expensive on the market.

Produced from 1929 to 1935, the Phantom II was a large improvement over the previous Phantom I. Both cars shared much the same chassis design with the Phantom II having a lower ride height and improved semi-elliptic springs. The large Inline-6 powerplant featured an aluminum head and a twin ignition system which was also new on Phantom II cars.

Only five Skiff bodies were ever applied to the legendary Silver Ghost chassis. Henri Labourdette was responsible for the coachwork which embodied rich mahogany affixed to an ash framework. Previous to this design, Labourdette had also done two superb Skiff coachworks on 1913 Panhard et Levassor chassis.

The 20/25 was sold alongside the Phantom II and was offered as more of an economical car. It was the sucessor to the Rolls-Royce Twenty and offerred increased power & acceleration through a larger engine. In many respects the 20 and 20/25 were identical except for the engine. Even the 20/25 powerplant was similar to the Twenties design except far larger displacement (3127cc to 3699cc). The firs...
