Without a doubt the world’s best-known car, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is making its Canadian debut in Montreal. Ever the aristocrat, its lines have been updated while remaining true to those of the previous generation. The chassis for this icon of luxury and ostentation was developed exclusively for Rolls-Royce and its future products, including a possible SUV. The noble English brand relies on a brand new twin-turbo, 6.75L V12 that unleashes 563 horsepower and 664 lb.-ft. of torque. The new Phantom will be 10% quieter than the one it’s replacing, if that’s even possible.
