2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom model upgrades

By Matt Brogan |

Rolls-Royce has today announced details of its MY09 updates to Phantom (pictured below) and Phantom Extended Wheelbase models.

Subtle enhancements include harmonising the front appearance of the car with that of the Phantom Drophead Coupé and Phantom Coupé with a new streamlined front bumper and shallower integrated grille, finished in stainless steel.

LED door handle illumination and 21-inch cast aluminum wheels are also now included as standard.

Inside, rear mounted 12-inch monitors now include an RCA component input, front and rear door cappings receive integrated grab handles while new bi-directional double reading lights in the C-pillar provide additional illumination. Rear climate control, volume control and electric window switches are now conveniently repositioned, housed in a wood veneer panel in the door.

Production will commence at Goodwood from mid-March.

    I love these cars. Should we suspect that Rolls Royce has problems with painting their plastic bumpers just like any other manufacturer?

    Even though the car is awesome overall, the rims Just look like a slightly better design of a 21″ steel rim.

    this car is timeless…

    this design will never age, and will always be stunning/beautiful (even if its the size of a blue whale!)

    It isn’t just me either when you compare the Maybach vs Rolls Royce sales figures !
