The elegant and noble night knight costs nearly 6 million. Can you resist the charm of the Phantom of the Opera?

Recently, it's really gone with the wind, and there are too many luxury cars. I just photographed Ferrari F8 some time ago, and immediately photographed Lamborghini Huracán? EVO？ RWD .

When I was still immersed in the fantasy brought by the Italian "cattle and horses", the reality made me strengthen the color again. This time, the protagonist is more ruthless, the aura is brighter, and there is no water at all, which is described by my own aura, so that I specially adjusted my clothes and washed my hands before I left. After all, touching such a car requires a sense of ceremony. Someone must think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. I just want to say, shouldn't I be serious before experiencing Rolls Royce? More importantly, I experienced the phantom of Rolls-Royce, which was more elegant.

(Wraith？ A limousine? 1938)

Speaking of Rolls-Royce models, it is estimated that many people think that Phantom Series is the most chronological and historical model of Rolls-Royce. Many people think that Phantom of the Opera is a new car launched by Rolls-Royce in recent years based on the gust platform. Actually, it is not. If you really talk about seniority, the Phantom of the Opera series is also a veteran of Rolls-Royce. Since the birth of 1938, it is almost one hundred years younger.

How come it's nothing like it? Don't worry, there are many versions of the first generation Phantom, and luxury cars are positioned in Phantom (first generation) and 25/30? Hewlett-Packard's four-door luxury car, of course, is very different from the current Phantom of the Opera. But what about the two original Phantoms? Door? Salon? By who? Edman? & amp？ The two-door shape of Rossi model is obviously much more elegant. In this way, it is very close to the phantom of the opera, at least in style, so I prefer to believe that the phantom of the rolls-royce is the phantom of the opera? Door? Salon? By who? Edman? & amp？ Descendants of Rosie.

As a brand with a long history of dignity and elegance, Rolls-Royce has been constantly optimizing its styling, especially in the era when cars were all made of iron boxes in the 1920s and 1930s, trying its best to simplify its styling. III is such a car, and its harmonious and smooth slip-back shape has to be said to be very close to the phantom of the opera now.

Appearance: solemn and solemn

In fact, the Phantom car system has only developed for two generations since the birth of 1938. The first generation hastily stopped production one year after its birth (less than 500 vehicles were produced). Although the current Rolls-Royce Phantom Car Series is the second generation of Phantom Car Series, after all, the age gap between the two generations is close to 100 years old, so it feels very jumping, whether it is styling design or technology configuration.

Although the difference is close to 100 years, the temperament of the phantom of the opera, especially the unparalleled smoothness of the side shape and roof, is still as charming as its predecessors. Even after a hundred years, the elegance of modern design techniques is still particularly dazzling, which may be the inheritance.

Is this phantom black today? Badge special edition model, so while retaining the unique elegance and dignity of Rolls-Royce, more murderous black elements are added. The bright and luxurious car paint turned black, the splendid Parthenon network turned murderous black, and even the celebration goddess standing in front of the car turned black. Such a thorough blackening has not actually polished off the innate temperament of Rolls-Royce, but has brought a different kind of dignity. But apart from the color, the front part is not much different from the ordinary phantom.

Have you ever seen the goddess of dark celebration? Regardless of the color scheme, it represents the peak of luxury and style in the automotive field.

The double R logo also uses a lower-key black color, which is in great contrast with other Rolls-Royce models.

Compared with the front of the car, phantom black? The side of the special edition of the badge is a little different from that of the Phantom of the Opera. The black body color scheme looks cool and textured. The most interesting part of the side should be the elegant sliding back top. The classic design that runs through almost a century still looks very pleasing to the eye, but this phantom is black? It's a pity that there is no hand-made waistline for the badge.

The biggest difference from the ordinary version is that the wheels are black? The hub of the badge version is more personalized and fashionable. Compared with the normal version, the spoke-intensive hub has less sense of calmness, but the visual experience is obviously more active. Because of the horizontal device, the logo area in the middle of the hub will always remain upright. In addition, the specifications of the front and rear wheels are different. Is the front wheel 255/40? R2 1 285/35 for rear wheels? R2 1, and the brand is Ma brand CSC5.

The position of the door handle is very special, which is also a tradition of Rolls-Royce. The position is opposite to the direction of the door handle of the ordinary model. The reason for this design is closely related to the way the door is opened. By the way, after all, it's a Rolls-Royce. The doorknob has a very heavy texture, which seems to open a valuable gift.

Opening the door backwards is a tradition of Rolls-Royce and a symbol of noble status. This way of opening the door is called "suicide door", which is so frightening because it is very dangerous to open the door automatically when the quality and technology of the car are still unstable in that era.

However, this situation will not happen long ago. This design originated from luxury cars is to make passengers get on and off more gracefully and calmly. Of course, for a car like Phantom of the Opera, the function of the electric door is naturally indispensable.

The shape of the rear of the car is a typical Rolls-Royce style. This design style is inherited from the phantom in 2003, which is very heavy, and the design of the sliding rear roof on the phantom is even more attractive with such a classic design.

Although it is an ultra-luxury car with a slip-back shape, the practicality of the trunk is not compromised, and the electric trunk is not absent from the phantom.

Interior: Extreme luxury

Although it is worth millions, the interior of Rolls-Royce is not as strong in technology as other luxury cars. On the contrary, it is very restrained and low-key. For the luxurious interpretation of the interior, Rolls-Royce has never relied on a sense of technology and a big screen. Exquisite material technology and luxurious "style" are Rolls-Royce's ways to show the luxury of interior.

The steering wheel has a large diameter and a thin body, and the shape is still the traditional shape of Rolls-Royce, which runs counter to the current sports style of the car world. Rolls-Royce never does anything rash. After all, British luxury goods need to be settled down and savored.

The dashboard adopts traditional mechanical instruments, and the white dial is matched with exquisite hands. The details are as luxurious as three top watches. But Rolls-Royce has never had a tachometer. The leftmost dial shows the power output of the engine, not the traditional tachometer. The middle dial and the rightmost dial are the traditional speedometer and the oil temperature meter respectively.

In that era when central control was the big screen, it was not easy for Phantom's center console to be seriously called the center console. Many exquisite physical buttons seem to be a clean stream. As an ultra-luxury car brand, freshness and exquisiteness are the minimum attitudes of Rolls-Royce. Needless to say, the touch of the center console buttons is in line with Rolls-Royce's consistent standards.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no electronic devices with large screens on the center console. Under the cover plate above the air outlet of the air conditioner is the central control LCD screen, which can display conventional multimedia information, reversing images and 360-degree circular shadows. Because the whole multimedia system is born out of BMW's i-Drive system, it is very similar in interface and operation mode.

The control mechanism of multimedia is also very similar to that of BMW i-Drive, but it is incomparable to BMW in exquisiteness, and the knob has been specially treated, so no matter how it is used, it will not leave any fingerprints on it.

The air outlet of the air conditioner is exquisite as a work of art, and the adjustment of wind direction and air volume adopts the lever control method. A little abstract, but very stylish.

So is the air conditioning control mechanism. There is no specific temperature scale, and everything depends on a rather abstract "feeling".

The blue seat is very elegant, and the comfort of riding is naturally unforgettable. Above the seat is a romantic starry sky. The function of the seat is not too complicated, only some conventional adjustment functions are retained. After all, the phantom's seat itself is very comfortable.

Strength: combining rigidity with softness

Finally, talk about motivation. The 6.6T V 12 engine can generate 632 horsepower and 820 Nm of power in Generate. Gentlemen can be very grumpy, but Rolls Royce is used in an elegant cruising environment. Sufficient power reserve is certainly not for racing, but for being more calm when cruising.

Finally, talk about the test drive feeling. Phantom of the Opera, a super luxury car, is really too quiet to drive. This kind of silence even feels a little incredible. Everything outside seems to have nothing to do with you, whether it is wind noise, tire noise or engine noise, it is completely isolated from the car. At this moment, only you seriously communicate with the car in such an ultra-quiet environment. In addition, due to the size and body structure, the phantom is a little more dexterous than a big car like a gust or a phantom.

abstract

After the experience, I have been thinking about a question, what is the positioning of a car like Phantom of the Opera? I think cars like Phantom of the Opera are more for those rich people who want to experience the ultimate luxury and don't want to lose their driving experience. The more capable and compact body size structure gives the Phantom better driving attributes, and Rolls-Royce's consistent elegance and nobility can still be passed on to the Phantom, which may be the charm of the Phantom.
