ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM DECLARED WORLD’S BEST SUPERLUXURY CAR
WhatCar? Magazine’s annual Car of the
Year issue has reconfirmed Phantom’s
position as the world’s finest luxury
motor car. On awarding it ‘Best Buy’ in
the £100,000+ category, the noted automotive consumer guide declared: “It
takes a special car to successfully fend
off its rivals for eight years – and the
Rolls-Royce Phantom is just that car.
Yet again, it’s the best top-end luxury
car money can buy.”
“The renaissance of the marque, in the
decade since production started at the
new Home of Rolls-Royce in
Goodwood, is a remarkable British
manufacturing success story,” said
Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive
Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “Since
its launch in 2003 Phantom’s marriage
of exquisite craftsmanship, peerless
engineering and timeless design has
ensured its position as the world’s pinnacle super-luxury good, showcasing
British craftsmanship and design excellence on the global stage.”
This honour follows the announcement
of a fourth consecutive record year and
the reaffirmation of Rolls-Royce Motor
Cars’ leadership of the €200,000 superluxury segment. December saw the
marque decorated with a Top Gear
Award for Wraith and a Walpole Award
for ‘Best British Luxury Brand.’
