The Rolls-Royce Phantom has been named "Best Luxury Car" by the prestigious British Car of the Year Awards'. The awards are based on the votes of a 27-strong panel of trade journalists and showcase the best new cars on the market for British customers.
Members of the UK Car of the Year Awards judging panel praised the new super-luxury car. Tom Ford of BBC Top Gear Magazine commented, "Phantom epitomises luxury and the latest iteration from this sector has hit the spot ... None is quite so elegant or desirable." Paul Hudson of The Telegraph praised the Phantom's "simply astounding levels of luxury" and Anthony Ffrench-Constant (CAR Magazine) acknowledged its "sense of occasion like no other".
Since its inception 113 years ago, the creation of bespoke cars has been at the heart of the brand. "The Gallery", Phantom's unique art showroom, provides luxury's most discerning guests with an innovative canvas on which to express their tastes, lifestyles and passions. This unique attribute was recognised by critic Nargess Shahmanesh Banks: "The Phantom is the top car, and the latest version not only delivers out-of-this-world luxury, but also offers new elements like "The Gallery", for that extra touch of exclusivity and personalisation." Another reviewer, Alisdair Suttie, summed up, "The pinnacle of luxury motoring has just been pushed a little higher with the Phantom."
Torsten Müller Ötvös, Managing Director of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said, "Phantom is the longest-lasting automotive nameplate in the world and has defined luxury motoring for almost a century. It represents Rolls-Royce's relentless pursuit of perfection and remains a truly dominant symbol of performance. We are delighted that this has been recognised by the critics of the UK Car of the Year Awards."
Described by connoisseurs as "the best car in the world", the eighth generation Phantom has been hailed by the world's most prestigious critics. This accolade follows statements that Phantom is "the pinnacle, the epitome of motoring" (Autocar), "a completely new version of the finest car in the world" (The Independent) and has "changed what a car can be" (GQ).
