Overview

The 2021 Rolls-Royce Phantom Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the full-size sedan. With a single trim on offer, the Rolls-Royce Phantom has a base MSRP of $457,750, competing directly with the Bentley Flying Spur W12 Sedan, and the Mercedes-Benz Maybach Sedan. Only a 6.7-liter twin-turbocharged V-12 engine is offered, mated to an 8-speed automatic. Together, they produce 563 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, the Phantom maintains a combined fuel economy of 14 MPG. Rolls-Royce offers the Phantom in 19 stunning colors, with the Belladonna Purple being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2021 Rolls-Royce Phantom Sedan might just be the most expensive car you could buy. It is available in a single trim option but with an unmatchable level of customization potential.
