Rolls-Royce Phantom saloon gallery 2017

The Rolls-Royce Phantom is one of the world's most exclusive luxury cars

It's designed with supreme comfort and relaxation in mind, isolating occupants from the outside world

It's also the most complex model ever created by the British marque, with much more technology than before

It's a rival to the Bentley Mulsanne, Mercedes S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series

There's just one engine - a 6.75-litre V12 petrol with 563bhp

It's engineered to be almost silent and deliver its power as soon as you press the throttle

Acceleration from 0-62mph takes 5.3 seconds, while its top speed is limited to 155mph

In a first for the Phantom, four-wheel steering is fitted, improving its turning circle and agility

Ride comfort is also exemplary thanks to cameras which scan the road and adjust the suspension to soak up bumps

Fuel-economy isn't a strong point though, with 20mpg if you tread carefully
