Overview

Competing in the fullsize sedan segment, the 2011 Rolls-Royce Phantom Sedan is a direct competitor to the Bentley Flying Spur sedan and some less-expensive competitors such as the Mercedes-Benz AMG S65 Sedan. The Merc counterpart is considerably cheaper and churns out more power than the Phantom. The Rolls-Royce Phantom starts off at an MSRP of $380,000, going all up to $450,000, with 2 trims in the lineup. Each trim is offered with a 6.7L V12 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, producing 453 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the Phantom manages a 0-60 of 5.7 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 14 MPG.
