Is there a long-wheelbase version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom?
3 Answers
Rolls-Royce Phantom does have a long-wheelbase version, with a wheelbase of 3,772 millimeters, which is 220 millimeters longer than the standard-wheelbase model. In terms of body dimensions, the long-wheelbase Rolls-Royce Phantom measures 5,990 millimeters in length, 2,018 millimeters in width, and 1,656 millimeters in height. The Rolls-Royce Phantom is the flagship model of Rolls-Royce, and all variants are equipped with a 60-degree V12 twin-turbocharged engine. The heart of Rolls-Royce is a unique powertrain system, specifically designed for Rolls-Royce: a naturally aspirated 60-degree V12 engine paired with a ZF 6-speed automatic transmission.
Of course, the Rolls-Royce Phantom has a long-wheelbase version! The standard 5.98-meter wheelbase body is already majestic enough, but the long-wheelbase version stretches to a full 6 meters, with an additional 200mm in wheelbase. I once sat in the rear of the extended version at an auto show—I could stretch my legs completely flat and even place champagne glasses on the walnut wood folding table. It comes factory-equipped with lambswool carpets, electric privacy curtains, and a custom umbrella compartment that pops out from the dashboard. This kind of extended version isn’t something ordinary modification shops can replicate—the entire body structure is specially engineered by Rolls-Royce, with even the chassis rigidity recalibrated.
Those who play with top-tier luxury cars all know that the Phantom Extended Wheelbase model directly carries the 'Extended Wheelbase' suffix. Last time at the Peninsula Hotel entrance, I saw one, and the owner said spending an extra 2 million on the long-wheelbase version was totally worth it: the rear features two independent aviation-style seats with massage and ventilation, the center armrest hides a mini-fridge and crystal whiskey glasses, and the most extravagant detail is the starlight headliner handwoven with 13,440 optical fibers. This factory-extended version costs about 30% more than the standard model, but who among Phantom buyers cares about that? Cullinan owners often complain that the Phantom Extended Wheelbase’s rear seats are more comfortable.
