- The Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII is the ultimate car if you want some quiet serenity but how is it to drive? We first drove the car back in 2017 and we've updated the film for 2022 and upscaled it to 4k and rescored it so you can enjoy it all over again.

We are so damn close to one million subscribers! If you enjoy our films but for some reason haven't hit that button yet, please do and help us hit that massive milestone. 🚗🎯🙌🏆
Carfection can literally repost it’s old content and we will still enjoy that shit.
5 years on and this Phantom still looks simply majestic :D. Also, I thought this specific video was uploaded earlier on today? 🤔
think of the previous generation phantom 7, particularly the series II. it's at least 10 years old and still looks fantastic both on the inside and on the outside. Admittedly if you look at phantom 7 series I, it's beginning to look a bit aged. Then again, it is almost 20 years old.
It’s been 5 years already????
Hands down the most arrogant, yet most beautiful, sedan one can drive. A masterpiece of technology and art.
I do like the range of styles Carfection has with its main presenters, each bringing something different.
The fact this channel hasn't hit 1M subs yet is a crime
They don't post shouty, click-baity stuff that other channels post. So it struggles to hit 1M subscribers. It's indeed a shame really. But I guess there are fewer ppl who actually enjoy quality stuff.
I always couldn't believe that F1 had such a small viewership and then it exploded and I've spent every day since watching/viewing media flooded with idiots saying idiotic things that bug me. Huge fanbases are a double edged sword. If they do start doing clickbait media, just be prepared to sacrifice all of these cool and conversation-starting comments for arguments about which car has a faster 0-60 or how an air-cooled Porsche is pants because it doesn't launch like an R35 GTR 💭
Most of the "high quality" automotive channels such as this, Rory at autotrader, Savagegeeese, and a list I could go on with have issues hitting 1M.
Now it is
Well you hit 1 million! Congratulations!
It's good to see somebody reviewing a Rolls Royce not looking like they forgot they were going out in public.
My 1988 Honda Prelude had 4 wheel steering
And 4 wheels, and 4 seats, and a trunk. WOW - they're the exact same car!
It's hard to find parts for the 1988 prelude 💔
Honda
Was way ahead those days
@@mojojojo_BB but it didn't have a v12, lots of insulation, the highest quality internal parts, etc. Let's keep it 100

0:35 I am the type of person who has a bank balance that looks like a phone number… 999 what’s your emergency?
Never thought I'd see a car review on my home road, the Schallenberg-Pass.
You live in a beautiful region of the world ... Switzerland. Lucky you.
Same. I was like... wait I know where that place is.😂 only sad that I needed a minute to get it.
Car is just absolutely beautiful!! Great review!!
Thank you carfection 🙏
This is an absolutely _carfect_ ride
what a stunning car.
Love love
Gorgeous car.
The front end looks great. Good vid.
I love the phantom.
The Sickness of it All...
I would love to be able to shut out the world, and too, I've always wanted to be able to Waft! I guess I'd better hurry, as I passed by 39 quite a few years back!
I really like that this car (to Me) looks great at every angle! It has been dubbed "The Ultimate FU Car", and I also like that particular distinction! 😊
I too, dream of wafting, top down in a Dawn
Yes! I was just saying yesterday how amazingly interesting it will be to see what artists are commissioned to provide the dash art on the new Rolls Royce Phantom! It’s like you guys are reading my freaking mind!!! (said no one I know, or have ever even heard of, ever) Personally, I want to see the, “Fredrick Remington” tribute model!
That back wheel turn hugh 😩
Great intro
Lady Penelope is going to have as much fun driving as Parker does! It looks an absolutely terrific car, indistinguishable on the outside, luxurious on the inside. If I was looking for something like a Rolls Royce I'd be very happy with this.
whatching the video and recognising it is shot in the area I live and drive my car and bikes in :-)
This cars remains as the big boss imo.
" Urine the backseat" Oh no, not in the Phantom! J.K, excellent review .Beautiful car.
Really can't wait for the new Spectre EV. Immense torque all the time, any time.
00:08 Is that Drew Wick? 😎
I have my own tata omni and used indica but I am very happy 😊 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😊 😃 😀
And now Rolls Royce is working on the refresher of the Phantom.
I‘ve always liked these. For the ultimate in sheer luxury, refinement and quality. Not status. But I don’t know if I’d own one, even if I could afford to. As status is what most onlookers would likely think the actual owner seeks. Maybe owning one in some parts of the world where people are more open minded. Likely not the 🇬🇧 though, even if this car is British…sort of.
I would have to sell my home to purchase this fabulous motor car , I could be persuaded but unfortunately I have to live in the real world but I can still enjoy your video thank you.
What country what’s that shot in?
Of All the reviews of Phantoms, since they added the "Art Gallery" , I have not seen one custom work. It would be fascinating to see what is being installed there, by whom and how.
I saw one where a selection of feathers was installed. Clearly, something dear to the heart of the owner.
Nice bmw with no mega tv in the back like new 7
I love it but mine is the first with new screen in the back and full CFRP chassis and body with total weight at 1,5 tones.
h00drat approved
At Rolls Royce The Pricing and Marketing strategy is Crystal clear, we like to surround our customers in absolute silk, and there are no barriers the company won’t ascend to victory . Of course In the future there is always space for future development. Happy Motoring.

Solid film, but how can you coment on top speed, when you drive in Switzerland ;-) keep up the good work
Seems crazy to me that RR haven't gone electric.Surely their cars would lend themselves perfectly to this
I think the Tempur is gon be electric,if I’m not mistaken this Phantom VIII is the last petrol engine.
Regards.✌🏿
Spectre is electric.
Price ?
at 0:12 what is the strange symbol on the traffic light all about?
Would love to se a 4m Rolls
It looks like Fab1
Were you tempted to take it to a track ?
Would be interesting to see how it performs against like a 340i which should be roughly the same power/weight-ratio 😅
That's completely against everything the vehicle was designed for, do it!
No rear seatbelt? 0:48
Why would one choose this over the vastly cheaper ghost - is the comfort, quietness and ride superior? Admittedly the EWB phantom has even more legroom, but the ewb ghost is still vast, and the headroom and shoulder room seem to be identical. The options, materials, finishes and luxury of the ghost seem just as superlative, so is there really much to the phantom in addition, beyond the greater road presence and bragging rights of having spent a lot more on a Phantom?
👍❤️
No way... you guys drove past my house.
Why have I got deja vu....?
I like my Pink Floyd ;)
My bank balance looks like a phone number to be fair. £9.99
the opening scene.....i dont know why i thought it was gotham submerged in water!
Why are Apple Car play and Android auto missing?
I think that you need to reevaluate why Rolls-Royce manufacture vehicles. Its certainly not to show off wealth. The Rolls-Royce company focuses on every possible part of the driving experience. Meticulous thought and detail go into its design, construction and manufacture. Its a car made for a person who understands the aesthetic, philosophy and praxis of refinement. Yes, its true, many of the nouveau riche, do not understand refinement preferring to flash their cash. But to the discerning a Rolls-Royce is a remarkable achievement that always innovates over time.
I've often wondered how this would compare with the new Ghost, since the Ghost is now so good. For that extra quarter of a million, what does it offer over the new Ghost, aside from even more bulk and space? Personally, I adore the new Ghost, because it brings the Rolls-Royce brand bang up to date with the latest design language and technology, without trampling on its traditions.
There are some head to heads. Everyone still prefers the Phantom
The phantom is the real deal. day and night diff. the ghost is for sure a nice car but the phantom is over the top in so many ways, and rest assured has the look also. I must say the that the ghost doe's have a bit more of a modern sporty look to it but the boxcar phantom has that grandiose look
His delivery is like a large word salad on a tin platter.
Fun fact: Mazda had pretty much the same 4-wheel-sterring in the 626 30 years ago...
Just like a Formula 1 team had pretty much the same CVT as a modern Nissan.
@@ALMX5DP I guess you're talking about the Williams FW15C?
Anyone else feeling like they've seen this video before?
If I won the lottery I would buy the Bentley equivelant sorry. I love the engine stats and the car interior. Its too much on the outside though. Jimmy Saville and Max Clifford drove Rollers
Hitler drank water, you going to give that up too?
If you wants peace & quiet, better take something a lot more discrete. And better looking.
"you don't drive a rolls royce. you're driven in a rolls royce"
My bank account looks like a phone number - As it's 999 (including Pence), I don't think I'm in the market...
" Nippier " he says. Nip down to the shops in that. No. A 1960's Mini is nippy.
John Wick 😂
Ayo where’s Henry
1:06 the beginning of chapter 8? Does carfection think we are stupid? The beginning of chapter 8 was over 4 years ago.
2017?
Re-upload, now in 4k.
Needs more ad breaks
Fabulous review ….. but …… this is a massive irritation for me….. at the start the reviewer rides in the rear, without wearing a seatbelt, why? You have nearly 1 million subs , please remember how impactive your reviews are. It doesn’t matter who you are, seatbelts save lives, if only Princess Diana had worn hers, the bodyguard did- thank you.
I don't like it! It's still cool though. Steering seems nervous? Many small inputs appear needed? If I ever buy one? I will be riding in the back, and I will be, really old!
where is henry catchpole
the boot looks a bit sad
Nice BMW.
It would be more imposing if it were a real grille. And look more like a Rolls Royce if it were.
Why are you guys testing a 4 year old car like it’s brand new? 🤔
I've just never been a fan of the styling of RR cars
As great as the car is, with the outbreak of war in Ukraine I've become a little pensive about these symbols of extreme wealth, excess greed of the few and power of some 'leaders' disconnected from the repercussions of their actions... Still it is a great car l suppose..
What would you define as excess greed...??
@@Tlhakxza good question, l think we sometimes have to look over the edge of the plate that's feeding us and have some sensitivity for others. That said, a Rolls in itself is an object which is the pinnacle of beauty, (although l find the present body too bullig), and luxury, resulting from the efforts skills and dedication of many people. Let's put it this way, l have mixed feelings about it, it's one of the many dilemmas l live with .
@@bernardh9994 you should reevaluate your thoughts on owning such a car. hard work is what it takes to obtain this. it's not and nor should it be of my concern what others have or don't have, as were in a free country and every person here has the opportunity to acquire what they want if they work at it. rest assured many of the people that own such a car had little to nothing in the beginning. they worked hard and achieved.
So you can’t be a millionaire
Just a billionaire
To get one hmm.
It's funny but - Men want to have everything on stage in our lives from 30 to about 45 or so Lol
My bank balance does look like a phone number, but its an indonesian phone number
Very well-made car and no doubt a delight to ride in, but owning a RR, even if you can afford it, is just so obvious.
It looks like a giant slab of stone. I'll take the back seat I think.
BMW 7.
I hope Rolls paid you well for writing all that advertising copy.
still looks like a barn...
why do you want to drive your own rolls royce?? wildly confusing to me
Lots of people do. They are great to drive. You aren’t going to be driven in a Wraith or Dawn, probably not a Cullinan and most Ghost owners drive themselves.
@@rare6499 They're called the nouveau riche.
Great engineering but goppingly ostentatious.
Presenter in an expensive suit, haughty voice, rolls royce built for billionaires, 16 year old tiktokers in torn T-shirts in shorts and flip flops, yes-yes of course and looks at 3 of these in his garage... Or Russian TH-camrs who bought themselves a Rosl Royce and drove them off-road, covered them with pink tape and mocked them as best they could...
I wouldnt give a nickle for it
I feel like The germans keep improving these british germs, which the brits nearly killed, as spite fo losing the war. 😊
The parent company is German but the company and designers are still British.
@@anonanon7497 but there was a lot of german influence when the german's bought those companies
Meh, i prefer the bentley flying spur
Still looks like a cheap Freightliner in the front.
Sorry but found the dialogue overly fawning and pretentious...
I'll take the Bentley Flying Spur over this any day of the week.
Bentley Flying Spur competes against the RR Ghost. There is no competition for the RR Phantom VIII.
@@subarnosinha8042 I am aware of that. Regardless, I'd still take the Bentley.
Bentley is a poor mans RR. LOL
@@ab-bc2gr A poor man could afford neither, I think you'll find. You certainly can't.
Also, style has nothing to do with price. 😉
5 years on and this Phantom is still absolutely hideous. It seems anything BMW touches just turns ugly.
No shit, it's amazing how people overlook how unbelievably ugly this car is.
2002 Phantom way more bad ass. This one is feminine by comparison!
돈도 많으면서 왜 롱버전을 안사냐 ㅋ 휠도 아쉽고...
At the very end, you fell into the idea that rich people are bad. Sigh. If you don't like them, don't review their cars.
