Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II 2012
Rolls-Royce has left the 6.7-liter V-12 alone, but it has fitted a new
eight-speed transmission that is said to boost combined fuel economy by
10 percent. Acceleration remains strong for a sedan that weighs almost
the same as a Chevrolet Tahoe; Rolls claims a 0-to-60-mph time of 5.7
seconds. (That’s probably conservative, as we recorded a 0-to-60 run
of 5.4 in a car with the previous six-speed auto.) Not too many Phantom
owners will engage in such accelerative shenanigans, but for those who
do, Rolls-Royce will offer an optional Dynamic package, which is a first
for the Phantom sedan. The package adds strengthening crossbars to the
existing aluminum space-frame structure, stiffens the suspension,
recalibrates the transmission, and adds a thicker rim for the steering
wheel. How very Bentley
