The Rolls-Royce Phantom is a saloon automobile made in the United Kingdom by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, a BMW subsidiary. It was launched in 2003 and is the first model introduced during the BMW era. The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé, are both based on the 2003 Phantom. The Phantom uses a unique chassis platform, body, interior, and retains traditional Rolls-Royce design cues. The body is mostly aluminium, Final assembly, including all body, paint, wood, and leather work, is completed to each customer's individual specification at the Rolls-Royce plant in Goodwood, West Sussex. The plant is close to the historic Goodwood Motor Racing Circuit. The plant contains the paint shop, body shop, leather shop, woodworking shop, assembly line, and executive offices under one roof. There are only three robots in the factory. The robots paint the body; the paint is polished by hand after the robots spray each coat. The coach lines, which are exactly 3 mm wide, are done, as well as all other work, by hand, in keeping with the Rolls-Royce tradition.  Since 1904 Rolls Royce can be traced on the Indian Sub-Continent under the regime of Maharaja’s. Back when Rolls was Rolls Royce Motors, now Bentley Limited. The Company re-entered in 2005. A hefty 6.75-litre engine lies in the heart of Phantom that produces an extreme power output of about 453bhp at 5350rpm and the engine is capable of hauling out a maximum torque of 720Nm at 3500rpm. The engine is arranged in a V12 fashion and a total 48 valves are present in 12 cylinders. Designed without compromise, the Phantom family is the result of complete creative and engineering freedom. Created with the desire to build the best car in the world, Phantom combines compelling charisma with design cues that are unmistakably Rolls-Royce.

Customers can choose from 44,000 paint colours, and specify any leather colour. The vehicle's unique instrument panel has no tachometer. Instead it has a power reserve dial that indicates how much of the engine's power not being used and available to the driver is. The rear doors are rear-hinged, a style commonly referred to as suicide doors, but called 'coach doors' by Rolls-Royce. Because of the rear-seating position in relation to the rear inner-door handles, buttons are mounted on both C-pillars which operate hydraulic motors in order to close the rear doors. An electronic lock prevents the doors from being accidentally opened when moving. The car will automatically brake to a walking speed if a coach door remains open when driving off. When front or rear doors are opened, umbrella compartments built into the rear doors are accessible. The factory supplied umbrellas are Teflon coated so they, and the compartment they are stored, dry out faster. The traditional Spirit of Ecstasy ornament has an automatic electronic retraction mechanism to prevent theft and protect pedestrians in the event of an accident. It may also be retracted by the driver at the touch of a button, or when the alarm is armed. The ornament base contains a sensor that detects movement, and will retract it if someone tampers with it. The 'RR' logos on each of the wheel hubs are independent bezels in order to always remain upright while the wheel is rotating.
