Spy Shots 2018 The Rolls-Royce Phantom Mule

The Rolls-Royce Phantom has recently begun a public road test of the Phantom sedan test mule for the next generation, which we expect to be launched in the market during 2017, as a 2018 model of test mule was spotted outside the BMW technical center in Germany and features some of the distinguishing features which gives the identity (donkey hide mechanical tests new cars under current vehicle body and is used in the early stages of development).

the front of the vehicle two new intakes, which suggest a new or upgraded powerplant. This is supported by the emergency exhaust system mounted on the car, the exit pipe extending several centimeters out of the rear bumper. Inside, most of the elements of the test unit borrowed from the BMW parts bin. However, round air vents and center console, leather-bound lower is the new stuff.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom has now been on the market since the 2004 model year, so long overdue for replacement. This is especially true now that Mercedes-Benz is planning to disrupt the ultra-luxury segment with the S-Class Pullman Maybach and upcoming models.

The new Rolls-Royce Phantom is expected to continue with the familiar design language of Rolls-Royce, while offering the technology has not been seen on any Rolls-Royce-including production plug-in hybrid drivetrain is optional and potential carbon fiber and aluminum chassis. Some reports have suggested the new Phantom will ride on a modified version of the platform rear-wheel-drive BMW Group debuted on the 2016 BMW 7-Series. However, we also heard that Rolls-Royce may get its own platform for the new Phantom combines the central carbon tub with aluminum subframes on both ends.

It also will help offset the weight of the plug-in hybrid models, which will feature a large battery. Lightweight carbon fiber construction will certainly help the dynamics of the car, given the current Phantom (own use aluminum spaceframe) weighs in at over £ 5600. Rolls-Royce has been ruled out fully electric models, following feedback on the company Phantom 102EX concept, but a plug-in hybrid could prove a popular choice for buyers in the cities of emissions is limited. It will also hybrid vehicle technology that would come rival Bentley. In addition to the model plug-in, version of the V-12 powered-traditional must remain.
