Product Overview

Rolls-Royce Phantom 7 is a full-size luxury sedan in production from 2003 to 2012, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a naturally-aspirated BMW N73 V12 engines that displaced 6.75 liters (N73B68).
While classic Rolls-Royce vehicles were noted for their elegance and refinement, the Phantom 7 added a high degree of extra flare. It is arguably the most imposing vehicle to have ever been manufactured.
Under the ownership of BMW, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars was able to extend the list of customizable options tremendously, and the level of refinement of the Phantom 7 greatly surpassed all of its predecessors.
While the 15.9L/100km (14.8mpg) fuel "dis-economy" isn't great, for the smoothness that the vehicle offers, it really is nothing.
