We would have mistaken it for a Dacia Sandero if it weren’t for the badges.
These spy photos of the mildly updated Rolls-Royce Phantom show that even “the best car on earth” can be improved. Goodwood’s ultra-luxe sedan made the journey to Germany to visit a BMWfacility in preparation for a mid-cycle facelift that is likely to be released later this year. The prototype was photographed in standard-wheelbase configuration with a stylish teal/white color combination.

Although the back of the vehicle has been completely exposed, it doesn’t mean that the 2023 Phantom will replace the current model. It is possible that the prototype did not have all the necessary parts. These will be added to the test phase. Some people might mistakenly believe that this luxobarge is an electric vehicle because they are used to seeing it with dual exhaust finishers. You can also get the Phantom with the exhaust tips under the rear bumper. This is the same as the case here.
A report by Car Magazine in August 2020 claimed that Rolls-Royce would release an EV version of the Phantom this year “in very limited numbers”. We haven’t heard any news since then so we are unsure if the 6.75-liter V12 or its pair of turbochargers.
The facelifted model won’t get a stronger Black Badge version that mirrors the smaller Ghost. However, the British marque has not ruled out the possibility for a high-performance derivative. This shouldn’t be a problem since Phantom owners aren’t buying it for its horsepower.
