The Phantom is one massive piece of automotive engineering... I got into the driver's seat and the feel was intense, the view across the bonnet was made wonderful by the sight of Lady Ectasy flying in the wind... plush leather seat, large expanses of luxurious wood panel and a plethora of tech-gadgets made for oodles of pleasure...
I pushed the keyfob into the slot, push the start/stop button... released the parking brake, once again with a touch of a button... and began to reverse out of the garage... once in reverse gear, the panel that once held the clock in the center console had rotated into the console to be replaced by the LCD panel with live feed of the rear... got it out... turned around, not an easy task if there isn't much space.
Once on the road it was pure bliss... the 6.75 V12 was full of power, but not a whimper could be heard in the cabin... I pushed it, but not too hard, for two reasons... firstly, it had a powerful engine not to be raced round a track, but so that this monster could moved with ease and secondly, I wasn't ready to pay for if and any damages happened.
But, to keep it short, the drive was amazing the acceleration pure and quick... the ride was beyond comfortable, it was surfing on clouds... amd the bonnet was way out literally speaking... you didn't know where the bonnet ended... it just goes on and on...
The rear undoubtedly has all the niceties, vanity mirrors for both occupants, mini refridgerator, disc changer, work table in ebony, built-in PC in the backrest of the driver and shotgun seats. Audio and climate controls... and the nice thing about the rear door and the curtains are that they are all powered, press of a button shuts the rear doors and another button draws the curtains.
