'Uber' luxury makes me think of the ride-sharing app
It's really cool to watch you get better and better at reviewing in videos, keep it up!
It makes the seven series look bad, but BMW owns Rolls :P
they own it I.e equity but isn't built by bmw there's a difference that's why no bmw can ever compare with a Rolls Royce in terms of luxury and craftsmanship. Same applicable with VW and Bentley
***** they can't make Bmw as good simple, before Bmw bought Rolls how come they never even tried to enter that uber or upper luxury segment? They know their limitations and don't even want to take such risks that will fail. It's about the name the brand name as well, Rolls built this brand from inception. So don't just say things for the fun of it brother, bmw can't enter that segment and compete favourably. Mercedes-Benz tried it with the Maybach and folded up.
A BMW will always be only a BMW whilst only a Rolls Royce is a Rolls Royce. Mercedes tried it with the Maybach but ceased sales because it was not selling. After all it was just an S Class with extras. MB are trying again but it's still only a Mercedes, and every cab driver in Beirut drives a Mercedes.
your commentary is all over the place. should improve on that significantly
The reviewer sounds like a 13 years old, gushing over a vehicle that really needs to have a more intelligent and sophisticated knowledge of the automobile. His "gee whiz" commentary is sloppy and amateurish. My advice for him is stick to Honda, Toyota, Nissan or other cars of that type...
those RR are without a doubt the most beautiful cars there are today in this world, nuff said...
Can't believe you just mentioned a 7 series in the same sentence as this, not even in the same league!
RetroGamerVX Should have compared it to a maar edges Maybach. BMW cannot compete in the luxury car category. They rely to heavy on innovative technology instead of perfect craftsmanship.
Hello CarBuzz! I Love yours Videos! Your actually The first UA-camr to review the Chiron I think. Well Keep up the good work. I can feel your videos are also luxury and HIGH Quality ^_^ (I love the voice of the person who reviews the cars) hehe XD
The ultimate luxury vehicle in the world, there's no competition I'm afraid. There's nothing in this class, the attention to details and luxury is just unrivalled plain and simple. This is just for the extremely wealthy and the fact that there are only 25 made very few of that wealthy clique will ever own one
can I just say something m8? I don't disagree with your statement, not at all, but the 'very wealthy' is certainly going to buy a S600 or 750Li or a RR SVautobiography. I know that
Songqi Bi I agree to 90% with your statement, they rent the S classes and 7s, but in an obscene amount. My dad has a Limousine company in Zurich and one of his customers...a "president" of some country, once rented 8 S classes just to go from the Zurich Airport to St. Moritz, with police cars following us and stuff...these guys don't want to drive around in RR's or Maybach Pullmans, just because they are too much- in your face. And to be honest, they don't give a single fuck about the engine of the car. Most of our cars are 350's and they never even asked about the engine
El name yep, Understatement is what 'wealthy people want'. So if you see a S class, or a A8 or even a Q7, the driver could be a millionaire
Holy shit that's a long car
loved how it has the same old beautiful rectangular headlights and no the altered shape.
Totally agree. I really dig Rolls-Royce's headlight styling. Truly unique.
i love car reviewlike this
Love the Color! Amazing
One helluva car. It is the last of the Series VII Phantoms. The new Series VIII Phantoms are out in 2018, with all aluminum monocoque bodies from BMW. No more body on frame and no more naturally aspirated V-12's.
A child can no more critique a Rolls Royce than the first days of Spring can speak intelligently of the entire year.
Love the reviews, you're improving with each video. I would recommend though, I think you would benefit from a standard organization or order of how you review the car, such as, interior front, interior rear, exterior, trunk, engine bay ect rather than jumping quickly from topic to topic. Thanks !
I've seen some nice shades of blue in my time, this would have to be the best.. Great looking car, probably the best looking Rolls I've ever seen. Makes a Maybach look like a boring runabout. A truly beautiful work of art in itself; nauseatingly pompous at the same time but it is class all the way!
Really nice blue, but i still prefer Alpina Blue, it's just the best blue out there, just like Ferrari red is the best red
존나 훌륭한 차다. 롤스로이스 팬텀은 인류가 자동차로 누릴 수 있는 극도로 사치스럽고 아름답고 매력적인 그런 차라 생각함.
that's lovely!
Ever think about rehearsing the commentary and reading what you said instead of repeating so much..."like I said, like I said..", how many times do you have to remind us that you're repeating yourself? Count them yourself. And why the chronic stuttering, "i'...i'...i'...i'...it's"...blah, blah, blah, so bloody irritating. You don't have to keep saying "naturally aspirated V12" every time either, once you've said it, we know it's N/A! Neither do you have to repeat "uber luxury" so many times. Aren't you surprised that you find the Lincoln Town Car boring in comparison to a near as dammit half-million dollar Rolls? What a great comparison. Finally, when you're talking, you don't NEED to PUT AN emphasis on almost EVERY other WORD, NOT only DOES that MAKE you SOUND daft but IT means THAT what YOU'RE saying doesn't MAKE sense.
Not entirely sure you meant it the way you said it, but the RR Phantom wasn't "created back in 2003", as you said in the video. Just the current body style was. This current body style is the Phantom 7. The very first Phantom was obviously, the phantom 1, produced back in 1925.
Does it have blind spot detection.? An eco button at least.? Do the seats fold 60/40.? Are those all season tires?. Apple car play?
How do Rolls Royce Motor Cars go down a steep and long hills without the driver being able to use engine brake since the driver can't shift it into manual mode like in an ordinary automatic transmission car?
How come the hood (on the passenger side) doesn't line-up with the iconic grill? Was it in an accident or come from the factory like that?
It is strange that RR would let that car out of the factory looking like that. I wonder if the car was assembled on a Monday or a Friday. LOL
Well of course it makes the BMW 7 series look bad - it's 10x the price!
this is how the English define luxury
burnzy3210 English went broke trying defining, but Germans saved them by showing them. Lol
It is bigger than phantom EWB? (extenden wheel base)
are the window bullet proof?
The walls international one is insane
You're from the Bay Area? Right on!
HTF can you compare a 7-series to Rolls Royce anyways..?
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars but I doubt the phantom shares any platform with the 7 series, I believe the ghost does. The phantom is in its own very class, this lime light edition is just uber luxury redefined. Just look at the stars in the roof of that rear seat, I would feel like I was in heaven back there lol.
Guy can you tell me it's minimum and maximum ground clearance please .....
Why do you say to make the bmw 7 séries look bad?
Do you not think you looked scruffy to present a car like this? Shirt and trousers are the minimum.
I love Rolls Royce
haha you're hilarious keep it up I don't think the commentary is all over the place it's your style
for the love of god its called "Six and Three Quarter Litres" and not 6.75 litres ...
Just bought one today and so far I love it!
HOW MUCH?
Actually they put the engine of the BMW 767 into the first Phantom and it has only been mildy updated ever since.
Alex K. in the first phantom? someone reading this would think the phantom was created in 03 under bmw ownership
This isn't the Phantom 7. It's just the Phantom. There are also two Bentley Brooklands. Car model names are being reused from time to time.
I don't think a Rolls Royce should be compared to a 80 grand BMW...
Oh you sound so pationate and I love your english speech with a hot potato in your mounth! Thanks lot!
If everyone keeps saying it's a car to be chauffeured in, so there's no need to care about the dash looking dated. Your going to be in the back.....not driving it.
it's missing the partition to be the Ultimate RR Phantom
they had to disable like ratings because of the title lmao
6:00 $1525 for embroidered headrests with RR logo is a bargain while it takes an automatized SINGER sewing machine just a minute to stitch one, not even hand-stitched when even that would never justify the price! 8:49 White instrument dials instead of black ones for another $8525, that adds up to a staggering $10.050 for two options that cost the manufacturer practically nothing! Please don't get me wrong, I really like this car, and I'm not green with envy while posting this comment, but the thing is if I was lucky enough and could afford one of these and would find myself in a sales talk I have no clue on how a salesman could possibly make me pay that kind of money when $10K could buy me a lovely tie on Rodeo Drive!
Frank Steinmann there are only about 4 machines in there manufacturing facility's everything else is done by hand including the head rest!
+Menzies Gaming There are videos here on UA-cam about how RR are made and where they show the stitching of headrests, but I have to admit that of course there is a lot of handwork by extremely skilled craftsmen, since production figures are very limited, so the leather of the steering wheel is hand-stitched, too, as it is on most every brand. But it is also true that the car's entire body, engine, gearbox and most other components are not produced in Goodwood, they come in boxes mostly from Germany and are only assembled in the factory, the plant has a partially robotized paint shop, and of course wood and leather shops, with a level of quality and detail second to none! Unfortunately, this is even more true in regards of the price point, or let me put it this way: I see $300K here, but not $667K...
Yet BMW still has the parts to make such a vehicle since BMW provided Rolls Royce with the parts to make the phantom. But I do agree that the phantom is a much more luxury car than the 7 Series
So this is the sound of CarBUZZ?
Wow that car is so big
the Best car in the world made by the the best car makers in the world! Rolls Royce Autos made by The British!!!!
....and owned and managed by the Germans. Sort of a historical irony there. But yeah, awesome and achingly beautiful car.
killer car
This mf is sooo saucy. Imagine when they add the same autonomous tech tesla us using and there's less engine and more room for added features. Can't wait.
I really wish your interior shots weren't so underexposed. I could hardly see the details.
Why are you reviewing the front. Whoever intends to buy the Phantom probs doesn't want to drive it, that is the chauffeurs job.
Why try to destroy the RR n if im the owner of this phantom i would pullout you from this demo
For the price of this Phantom, I'd rather get a new Bentley Flying Spur W12 sedan and a new Acura MDX SH-AWD and have a decent amount of money left over for a condo.
This is absolutely the cheapest looking interior of any Rolls-Royce/BMW ever built. But it’s really a BMW with a RR price.
V12 won’t be gone, twin turbos will be added, so tat was misinformation on your part
starts up like a veyron
It doesn't share its platform with others? Are you serious? Its platform is based on the 7 series.
Samson Okoro I know the fact! all rolls royces are based on the 7 series. What roll-royce had done was just stretch the length and make suitable modifications for different models. what a shame that you know nothing about platform sharing between BMW and Roll-Royce.
oooining u don't know jack as fact, only the Ghost shares the same platform with the 7 series I won't even bother with this argument. U really do know it all
Samson Okoro fuck you! BMW owns Rolls-Royce brand, they just bought the brand name rather than the whole factory, they hired all the craftsmen for the leather upholstery, wood veneer and etc, but not the engineers. They wouldn't even hire additional engineers for Roll-Royce since BMW already have brilliant engineers, so the cost effective way to manufacture Roll-Royce is by using the 7 series platform but not hire additional engineers to develop chassis for Roll-Royce. Your comment makes no fucking sense! If I were you, I would just shut up and move away, maybe you should watch some documentary about Roll-Royce and learn more about modern Roll-Royce. It might not be using the latest platform, it surely is based on the 7 series.
That reflector on the side skirt is hideous
Los Gatos Luxury car dealership
Take it for a spin , why not, ?
This car is so boxy. Exterior, interior. Everything aside from the tires and the steering wheel is square. Maybe it is just my peasantness but I don't like this car. In fact if before I saw the price on this you showed me the interior of it and that of a Mulsane or a lower range RR I would say it is WAY cheaper. It just looks dull
great Video, well done. my only advise is that when next you want to review a car (1 of 25 made), that you dress better. you are not dressed badly, but you are certainly not dressed for a phantom RR. this video would have been so much better if you had a nice suit or blazer on (dark of-course). the British believe we have devalued this brand, and I am beginning to agree.
just so much to say about BMW's aren't you doing something about BMW
some American Cars are Foreign Owned; Rolls Royce, Bentleys and Jaguar Land
Rover are foreign owned; but they are all design and built by British Citizens in
Britain; they are British Cars and will always be just that; in years to come the
Americans or the Japanese may buy any of these company; or they may revert
to British ownership; but they will always be British Cars; you should Learn that
fact
nope thanks i would still buy a brabus maybach or mercedes amg maybach 2016 and it has a lot of luxery !!
You know, they all have a lot of luxury. It really boils down to personal preference and/or brand loyalty.
German money but English class and style. Germany tried to compete with the Maybach - FAIL!
Mercedes has already revived Maybach. It's called Mercedes-Maybach: www.carbuzz.com/news/2016/12/1/Only-75-Mercedes-Maybach-S650-Carbios-Are-Coming-To-The-US-7736676/
it's annoying listening to a permanent "oh-my-God-this-blows-my-mind" - affected speech for 20 minutes. The information is good enough on it's own - and the occasional "enthusiastic tone" is fine but this was non-stop like a young excited Kid telling his dad about something. This type of talking is not necessary from grown up to grown up.
Lol 11 miles per gallon is not "decent fuel economy"
Front looks like a GMC pickup.Needs mud tires and naked girl mud flaps.
Right, I'm sure mud tires and a naked girl is exactly what a RR owner would add.
First of all the title of this video is stupid. Why are you comparing Phantom and 7 series in the first place? Offcourse Phantom will make 7 series and any car look bad. 7 series is not even the best car in its category. S class is.
We know how big 21" rims are...you don't have to make a comparison to Mitsubishi wheels. You talk as if your viewers don't know shit about cars
Cool car. but this kids commentary is atrocious
Hideous, modular interior, filled with much cheap plastic.
👏👏
Mercedes s class scandarsi
Hahahaha.....Comparing Lincoln town car to Rolls Royce phantom! Lol......
The backs of the Lincoln Town car and rolls royce do look similar though.
Holy shit those nike shoes look so weird inside that car.They are more out of place than a deaf in a crossfire
people should be forced to dress good while being near a phantom...
jpbarrera9588 Do you see how Salomindrin and his friends ride in his Ghost?
+Seong Hong yes sir, although I never said they were the perfect example of class and sophistication
jpbarrera9588 Most people who can actually afford Rolls Royce, at least in the west, probably do not work, and only play around. Could they be bothered to wear suit and ties in their car? nope. It's a whole different story in countries like China and Hong Kong where they're chauffeured around, they are businessman. Of course they would be wearing suit.
Seong Hong This mainly happens in California rather than in the whole west. In cities like NY or Chicago people tend to dress trendier and better, same thing happens in Europe and in big wealthy Latin American cities. I'm not saying "wear a suit", I'm saying if you wanna wear sneakers OK but usually people that have that kind of money don't wear Nike sneakers, they wear Berluti or Hermès sneakers, at least some Louis V or those horrible Gucci shoes with the giant tiger on top
Honestly, my BMW 750Li looks better. It's just way cheaper than this big thing.
Well of course it's way cheaper. If the Rolls-Royce were cheaper then it would have no reason to exist.
Will: Yes, you're right. But I wanted to focus on the many features of this generation Phantom instead of focusing on the past.
You don't know how to review a car...let alone a elegant car like this...awful commentary.
The Mercedes s class is a 100 times better!
Eman M ...no its not, I do chauffeuring in London for a living and you cant compare the BMW 7 series to the Rolls Royce, its better, smoother and better to drive than any 7 series BMW., and I have driven all, AMG's, audi's and you can't compare. The rich demand been driven and picked up in a Roller, from billionaires to p.diddy and beyonce.
ps..never heard of one breaking down, must be the present owners, BMW's quality. And dont be in awe of these reporters, they only test these cars once and have to fly back to their country and impress people like you with their silly comments, they never ask me my opinion. Is like never asking an airline pilot about the planes they fly.
Ian Nixon why bother responding to such an ignorant comment, the s class or s class maybach can never ever be compared to this. It is an insult to even bring them close to each other talkless of comparing them.
💋
BMW better.
Arne Hurnik In your dreams, bmw could never make a car any where this good even if they tried. Read up on Rolls Royce and their history and previous cars before u ever compare their cars with Bmw.
Get YOUR Crumby Hands Off My Car Ha, Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Nissan. RX 8
It's ugly as fuck inside out. I get it. The quality and details. But man there is no symphony.
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars it's not old and out of date,it's classy.
It's a classic, so the exterior will look like that and the interior looks great.
omggg
Whatever shitt... its only a man made car... so materialistic world.. puuuii
looks like shit tbh... The exterior is soo bad for a 600k$ car
Extremely cheap looking.
It makes the 7-series look bad until you see a corner. Then you'll be like: "Shit, we need to drop the anchor!"
Well said.
Liked.
