Rolls-Royce Phantom
I saw this ultra-cool Rolls-Royce Phantom while walking past Hyatt Hotel last night. Well, to be honest, i didn't think it would be that huge, like the older and more classic Rolls-Royces do. I was wrong. Its height was virtually close to mine and its bonnet was nearly as high and as long as my dinner table, which houses its 6.75L V12 petrol powerplant that produces 453 hp (338 kW) and 531 ft·lbf (720 NM) of torque, which is the same as the existing BMW V12 powerplant.
Now that Rolls-Royce has been led by BMW, 15% of its components are shared with other BMW models such as the BMW 7 Series, but still retains the traditional Rolls-Royce styling cues.
I couldn't really see much of its interior as it was dark, but i seriously believe its not what you'd find in an S-Class. Let me put it this way, its the Istana on four wheels and side mirrors.
It costs S$1,500 000 to own one, and there are many ways to get that money soon. Sell your house, your car, your children, your body, rob a bank... the lot.
But at least to drive one would be the next best thing to buying one.

None of which matters to us <3.
