Hamann Presents the Custom Rolls-Royce Phantom

For an affluent motorist looking for a top-of-the-line luxury automobile, there are only a few choices: the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bentley Arnage and the Maybach. If you find the Bentley to be too archaic and the Maybach little more than a gussied-up Mercedes S-Class, then the Phantom is clearly your choice. The thing is, it's also bound to be your wealthy friends' choices as well. So if you want yours to stand out a little, you can now turn to German tuning house Hamann, which is offering a range of modifications to the Phantom saloon and Drophead Coupe convertible to give it a little extra attitude. The package includes 23-inch wheels to replace the 21-inch rims on the stock Phantom, a custom steering wheel for a more sporting feel, and engine modifications to bring output from the 6.75-liter V12 up from 460 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque to 535hp/615lb-ft. With all the extra power and the limiter removed, the Hamann Phantom is ready to cruise to an effortless 300 km/h (187 mph).

The latest bespoke Rolls-Royce Phantom comes from customizers Project Kahn. Their version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is on 22-inch wheels that are 9.5 inches wide and designed to accommodate Rolls-Royce's original center caps. It comes in either a dark mist or silver mist color with tinted privacy glass and clear side lights. The interior is finished in custom napa leather with a steering wheel done in either piano black or carbon fiber. As Inside Line reports, Project Kahn modifies the cars from the factory and orders them with elm cluster veneer wood and lamb's wool rugs. They also throw in a Kahn keyring and a Kahn golfing umbrella with a carbon fiber shaft.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe Sells For $1.6 Million

When I read about some of these auctions I get so envious! How fun would it be to go to one of these events with a flag or paddle to wave around and practically unlimited funds to play with! Case in point, at a recent charity auction to raise money for the Elton John AIDS Foundation a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe sold for $1.6 million. Not that it's not a great car, but it's since the actual value is estimated between $400,000 and $500,000 that's a pretty big jump for charity. And these Phantom Drophead Coupes are making of habit of selling high -- back in January a couple got $2 million for theirs at the Winter Wine Festival. I guess if you gotta have one then you gotta have one!
