Next-generation Rolls-Royce Phantom caught testing

A heavily camouflaged Rolls-Royce Phantom has been spotted testing in the Mojave Desert in the United States. 

Rolls-Royce is expected to launch the next-generation Phantom in 2018, and sources add that the car should be displayed at an auto show in 2017. While the new Phantom evolves from the current design, the fascia gets sharper headlamps, and the nose now sports a taller grille. A redesigned C-pillar enhances the profile by making it look a whole lot more aerodynamic.

A large V12 will continue to be used in this application, and reports also claim that a plug-in hybrid could also be introduced. This car will use Rolls-Royce's new aluminium space-frame platform, and will shave a significant amount of weight from this huge luxury saloon. Buyers will continue to benefit from the long-wheelbase and short-wheelbase options that the car maker will have on offer. 

Rolls-Royce’s next-gen Phantom will continue to give buyers some of the best experiences a luxury car can offer.
