The new chairman and chief govt of Rolls-Royce Motor Automobiles, Ian Robertson, said, "Now that Rolls-Royce is once again established as the world's main super-luxury saloon the corporate has a solid foundation from which to launch new models. Late final 12 months we introduced the brand new convertible, which is available in 2007, and at Geneva this 12 months we are delighted to reveal this new longer version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, which begins production this Autumn."
An extra 250mm has been added to the usual Phantom, behind the B-pillar, to create a motor automotive with an even more generously proportioned rear passenger compartment. The extra house lends itself completely to the addition of Bespoke features, restricted only by the imagination of the customer.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom with prolonged wheelbase is entirely hand crafted in-home - designed, engineered and hand constructed by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in the identical approach as the usual size motor car.
An prolonged wheelbase motor automobile had been deliberate from the early days of the Rolls-Royce Phantom project. An aluminium space body chassis was chosen for the Phantom precisely as a result of it lends itself to structural adaptation with relative ease. This capability to create "coach-labored" models to fulfill the person wants and needs of Rolls-Royce clients is something that has been central to the marque all through its a hundred yr history. The physique is the most important aluminium area body ever constructed.
The extra length is achieved just by utilizing longer extrusions in the construction of the physique with none loss in torsional rigidity. Typical prolonged wheelbase automobiles are often built by cutting them in half and welding-in extra metallic - not so with Rolls-Royce. The excellent dynamic efficiency and driving refinement of the Rolls-Royce Phantom is maintained. Aluminium roof and rear door panels are the only new major exterior elements required.
All the chassis and physique parts are painstakingly hand-welded by a highly skilled group of specialists. Such a excessive stage of craftsmanship is concerned that every technician is required to finish a sequence of checks each day earlier than beginning work. Because of the fully flexible manufacturing processes at Goodwood, the Rolls-Royce Phantom with prolonged wheelbase will be constructed alongside the usual model without difficulty.
The new motor car is hand-constructed to specific customer order for the Middle East and Asia Pacific regions the place demand is highest. Manufacturing began at Goodwood in late 2005. The Rolls-Royce Phantom with extended wheelbase is priced at US$385,000 within the Center East and Asia Pacific regions and ¥forty eight,000,000 in Japan.
