Here's The New Rolls-Royce Phantom Rendered 3 Different Ways
An all-new Rolls-Royce Phantom is now upon us. It’s powered by a 6.75-litre, 563bhp V12, sits on a new spaceframe platform, and is - as you’d expect - is stuffed with luxury goodies. Oh, and 130kg of sound-deadening materials.
However, what we’d like to do now is leave the cold, hard facts behind us for a moment, and feast our eyes on a few imaginary versions of the Phantom, courtesy of these renders from X-Tomi Design.
Firstly, we have a shooting brake/wagon creation. We’re not sure this one pans out so well - on the Phantom’s vast, box-like proportions, the extended roofline makes it look a little hearse-like.
Next up, we have Phantom ‘Drophead’ convertible. Unlike the shooting brake, this is a body style we did see the previous-generation Phantom sport: it arrived four years after the saloon.
The outgoing Phantom also had a coupe derivative, something created above for the new car. However, we’re unlikely to see any of these cars become reality, with Rolls-Royce previously hinting that the new Phantom would be a saloon only, leaving the Wraith and Dawn respectively as the only coupe and convertible cars in the line-up.
Is that a shame, or are you glad this highly unsubtle trio won’t ever become a production reality? Let us know in the comments…

They should render it into a boat! Oh wait…
Whoever can afford one of these must be Rolls-ing in cash…
And its not Chinese
The Wagon looks awesome
That’ll be the heaviest station wagon on earth.
There should be a poverty spec too
Uber land yacht? Can’t wait to order me one of those when I’m too drunk to walk home.
I’m sad that the 2 door phantoms are axed, those were realistically the proper 2 door Rollers of the modern world. The Wraith and Dawn are just old 7 series Beemers with glitzy bodies on them.
I’ve honestly had a ride in a Ghost recently and I was not impressed at all.
Sir, would you rather take your family to a noble restaurant or would you prefer a trip down the quaint cliffs of Dover in a tasty convertible?
What if we render it as a hatchback?
