The 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom is like nothing before it

There are very few cars as special as the Rolls-Royce Phantom, and its new eighth generation keeps that dream alive.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

The Phantom has earned adoration the world over as simply the best car money can buy.

The styling on the 2018 Phantom is imposing, to say the least.

The front has a new monolithic appearance that immediately sets it apart from its predecessor without throwing away its lineage.

The grille sits higher on the car than ever before, lifting the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament up higher still.

The Phantom's profile is a more minimal, reductionist affair that gives it a more understated feel than the front.

Helping keep things both hushed and rushed is an all-new, 6.75-liter V12, now augmented by two turbos and tuned to deliver 563 brake horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque.

With an all-new suspension system and four-wheel steering, this new chassis should be nimbler than before, too.

The interior now features a full glass panel that stretches the width of the cabin encasing the infotainment system and what Rolls-Royce is evocatively calling "The Gallery."

Bespoke artwork can be commissioned from artists to fit behind the hardened glass to add a level of interior decoration not previously seen on a Roller.

It's never too late to get your big break in acting, which will give you the capital required to put this bad boy in your driveway.
