2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII Car Review

[@dontex7]

"Before you becoming a ghost might as well enjoy a Phantom" Bravo👏🏾

[@TheHelghast1138]

Excellent video. Fun fact ( since I am a hard core military history buff kinda dude, just recently surpassed my 300th book on World War II alone) during the Battle of Britain it was BMW engines used by the Luftwaffe, and Rolls-Royce engines used by the RAF, I find it very ironic that BMW now owns Rolls-Royce, in fact a senior leader of Rolls Royce mentioned when BMW bought them "...what the Germans failed to do with their bombs, they have done with this deal!" My oh my, how history can be quite ironic never ceases to amaze me. As an entrepreneur myself I look forward to success that perhaps one day I can own one of these, so again thank you for this excellent video, you are by far the best in the industry Tom! Cheers!

[@maverickwarden]

Your reviews are so good that might as well be art.

[@schxn]

The Spirit if Ecstasy cover trim at 4:34 didn’t fit well

[@dennisthewalker]

Sean Mangubat yea i was like wtf is that. Lol

[@リチャ-i3f]

#RichPeopleProblems

[@Yathuprem]

Yeah thinking about the same. Not acceptable

[@jarenong]

British cars are crap

[@MrRidge7]

I wonder if it's because he pressed the button too fast after he lowered it.

[@charlesbrown9082]

I love the humor in your videos. Videos are very informative. Awesome job

[@crmcbrideww]

Dear Tom, You are the Rolls Royce of giving us the needed information to make the right auto choice.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

And to think I do it on a Toyota budget...

[@NovieBigSad]

The people's champion!

[@vivekchoudhury6648]

"If you have the means, before becoming a ghost, might as well enjoy the phantom." Probably the best conclusion lines I have ever heard for any automotive review!

[@vitobustamante2576]

Most luxurious car in the world. PERIOD!

[@rajasimanta]

Damn it's GORGEOUS ... Finally a Rolls that meets my eyes ... *FINALLY*

[@peteyjd]

Up to your usual standards Tom! But I would have died laughing at toilet paper in the trunk test!

[@bbee8829]

Excellent job, witty, creative and balanced. Just subscribed!

[@vitobustamante2576]

This will be my new favorite car!!!

[@bioduntube]

Very very well done. Loved the humour also.

[@kmgates]

Awesome review, awesome car!

[@samsonokoro5036]

The ultimate luxury beast by a mile, nothing comes close to this and this isn't even optioned out talk-less of getting it fully personalized of which any one can do.

[@ravichandra-ht2ng]

You are super good at doing this job! I guess people are running out of superlatives !!

[@LovelySmilerich]

Rolls Royce Phantom looks beautiful. ♡♡ Thanks ^^

[@smilerespectively4125]

I mean, $560000 not bad at all, I will get mine next week.

[@harambo9805]

The rear needs to be reworked. It should have more presence and the taillights could be larger and better situated.

[@andrewarmstrong7310]

This car kind of reminds me of my dads old 1965 Imperial LeBaron from the front end. I guess it will have to grow on some people. I still can't believe they dropped the drophead coupe Phantom for the drophead coupe Dawn. If you have to worry about price and/or MPG you should be looking elsewhere for your automobile.

[@papissimusrector6975]

How much is the bullcatcher and is there a svarowski option?

[@tmh44]

Awesome work as always Tom! You deserve 10x the amount of subscribers. Looking forward to the next one :)

[@DrivenCarReviews]

I'm just happy knowing all my subscribers are real, no bought.

[@tmh44]

Absolutely, I'll keep referring my friends to your channel. I have friends and they're real I swear! ;)

[@elk9414]

My favorite part of this review was hearing that people from "all walks of life" buy a Rolls Royce Phantom. Now, Jesse Jackson once looked me straight in the eye and said "you can always keep hope alive" so I keep hoping that we can drop the BS but then maybe human beings are incapable of actually evolving and we're doomed to simply keep regurgitating the BS we've heard the most often just like our parents and grand parents before us.

[@Siper2]

Mr. Voelk, please have my Phantom ready by 9am tomorrow and please do bring the caviar and champagne. My thanks, old chap!

[@hastingsdirect7300]

Siper2 no lol

[@Siper2]

Hastings direct Bad form, old chum! 😁

[@hastingsdirect7300]

Siper2 sorry we're out of rolls royces how about a prius?

[@Siper2]

Hastings direct Heavens no, only the little people drive those! 😁

[@hastingsdirect7300]

Siper2 yes

[@bentleygt3716]

hey. it's only money and you can't take it with you :0))) one word: EXTRAORDINARY. thanks for sharing this heart-aching video.

[@jcarlo33y]

Love your review. You should have hired a driver for this one...and reviewed from the back seat with Evil Twin. Lol. Keep up the great reviews!

[@JulezWinnfield]

How Tom never once pulled out a jar of Grey Poupon mustard while sitting in the back seat, I'll never know. That concealed umbrella compartment at the 01:40 videomark would make a great place to hide a samurai sword, just in case.....you never know.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

I try to be a little more subtle than that.

[@MrTblackmon]

OMG, the guy with the hideous red color Volvo is on the majority of every automotive video there is. How comical!

[@9857616923]

One of the Indian kings used Rolls Royce as a car to collect garbage because showroom owners insulted him.

[@Dashjohns]

wawawa

[@limpunsing224]

Very informative Tom Voelk , you look like an automotive tycoon driving the Phantom VIII

[@NarutoUzumaki-km2ii]

Great review

[@ventador67]

At 4:34 you can see clearly the spirit of ecstacy cover trim is crooked...ON A ROLLS-ROYCE!!!!!!! The QUEEN would say... SHOCKING!!!!! VERY SHOCKING!!!!!!!!!!

[@zacharyf.568]

Is it me or does a steering column look cheap the way you can see that it's put together and can see the Seams.

[@deepcow]

I don’t see this car as being attractive, I do appreciate the engineering involved.

[@WalterDWormack214]

I absolutely love this car! But I just have to ask, isn't it just a tad risque to equip a Rolls-Royce with a *push-button engine start?*

[@jody024]

That is the boxiest modern BMW in years.

[@camanmeetpatro1850]

It's not just a car. it's a caaaaaaaaaaaaarrr 😄😘

[@zamora3D]

claaaarksoooooooon!

[@nonotherthananother]

It is uglyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !

[@silluete]

you just a poor guy a poooooooor guyyyyy....

[@camanmeetpatro1850]

Silluete ohh. U r relative of bill gates nah 😹😹😹😹

[@silluete]

ehm i say it to myself heh....

[@senorkaboom]

Beautiful car. And pure luxury in steel, paint and plastic, no doubt. However, Lincoln makes a Continental in Black Label configuration that is very nice, optioned very well, has some nice luxury features, and is hundreds of thousands of dollars less. Granted, quietness may not be equal, you won’t have leather lined wheel wells, you can only choose from 5 or 6 colors, and your back seat tray table is always in the up and locked position. But, dealers are everywhere and the car has a long history. So, a trade off. You can spend a king’s ransom or not. Both cars will depreciate at the same level. So you can buy a new Lincoln for $80,000 or a 2-3 year old Rolls for that or less. Enjoy.

[@vedadrokkor]

6:24 the fuse door cap does not align when closed...shoot.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Perhaps because I was in a hurry and didn't close it right.

[@emmanuelgeraldo5337]

I love Rolls but the S class is the most complete car ever

[@paulsison6336]

extended wheelbase plss with all options

[@alsayedjalal]

Paul Sison that would be 10 kidneys and 3 hearts please.

[@paulsison6336]

lol

[@michaelpetty2016]

Great review.....I think i'll mosey on down to my nearest Rolls dealer and pick one up. I wonder what they'll give me for my Ford Explorer.

[@john2011jb]

I’m from Miami I seen them plenty of times as for being inside it happened when I went to prom that thing Swallows gas like crazy

[@stevielowe2853]

Unrivalled.....

ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM SWB/EWB SERI VIII in Jakarta:Rp.22Billion SHORT WHEEL BASE&Rp.24Billion EXTENDEED WHEEL BASE

[@patrickdehaan3670]

The RR gal didn't mention DJT, but does the president have one?

[@vidasimpleyfeliz]

"Our customers come from all walks of life". She has practiced that statement as much as a starving/homeless actor practices the lines while waiting in line for the next audition. I'd like to see what RR employees drive.

[@zipho5935]

I like how they say top speed is "governed" instead of limited..

[@rabit818]

How many Louie Vuitton luggages can you fit in the trunk?

[@ayatsimplykitchen7821]

Good CAR

[@speedfiend925]

Oh come on Tom! People that can afford a Rolls Royce don't use TP! They have their own personal bidet! 😆

[@jbrenofficial]

"Our customers come from all walks of life"- The Rolls Lady. Yes, how true. (What the hell?)

[@evans4you]

I think she means all kinds of field such as sports, film, music etc etc

[@f458italiano]

Nice video Tom! How much difference is there between the ride and refinement of this and say a Mercedes S Class or Bentley Bentayga?

[@jamespatrick6939]

The Bentley is considerable tougher, since its off-road worthy, well tougher is a pedestrian word for the bentley, with its hardest suspension it is still better than anything, but the rolls floats away, you know if you dress nice enough and come up with a credible story, you can test drive anything, and I highly recommend you test drive this or the ghost

[@DrivenCarReviews]

I would have to line them up back to back to really know the difference. I would also need a princess that can detect a pea through 10 mattresses...

[@f458italiano]

haha so the differences aren't too obvious?

[@maestroadam]

I know it is hand made and all, but those panel gaps are generous.

[@rrt08]

Was waiting for the Gold Plated TP test🙁

[@ma3ttia11]

Same as 2003 RR phantom with different headlights and larger screen 😂

[@93455Driver]

But how is it on the track?

[@venom5809]

I know several people with Rolls Royces, friends and neighbors and all are certainly not entrepreneurs by definition. My buddy has a Ghost, he inherited a marketing company from his dad, NBA and NFL player in my neighborhood, they have Phantoms, another neighbor just got a Wraith and he's an eye surgeon, there's a car dealer with a newer Phantom and then a bunch of other old Rolls Royces so there's a mix of owners but they are definitely not all entrepreneurs like the rep stated, it's a mix. I'm sure there are a ton of lottery winners and people that inherited money that have zero interest in building any brands and whatnot. HA HA. I found it kind of an odd statement from her, like she was trying to stroke the egos of owners and potential buyers.

[@josejerry9364]

Dream...................................

[@andrewsmactips]

Thanks for not dressing up. Too many reviewers go into pompous mode when reviewing a Roller or Bentley.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

... and notice I didn't go through the McDonalds drive thru either.

[@Mikeedawson]

will they paint it in pink

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Yup

[@halopcdraco]

2018 Ford Eco Sport 2.0L coming soon?

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Nope. Ford doesn't bring many cars up to the Pacific Northwest.

[@vitobustamante2576]

It would be better with a gold spirit of ecstasy

[@76carmel]

Fun fact - one cannot finance a Rolls. Why would one? The average salary of Rolls Royce owner is $30M.

[@JulezWinnfield]

Billy Sou Oh man, I was hoping they had a 288 months with a 1% down financing plan. 24 short years and it would be all mine.

[@MrLalasd]

You can finance a rolls. In the usa most owners lease them.

[@76carmel]

And a status symbol.

[@ba3cool]

Hasty generalisation :)

[@mikesouth3032]

ANY car can be financed.you just have to know the right sources.

[@Munya_EL]

I like this guy,

[@radudeATL]

Subscribed.

[@juuhmoi3351]

In finland phantom’s price start at 1million dollars with taxes.

[@denault3985]

That was fun...

[@mrbadx19]

if i won powerball or mega, maybe. but i'd live in Vegas then, and there are drunks driving there, better off with a Corolla.

[@SuranatLimsuwan]

I wait for ev rr. Only

[@Fluterra]

WTF is with the Product Communications Manager?! So unfitting for the brand! She should be selling used Corollas.

[@noneofyourbuisness7]

who cares what her title is, literally every car company in the world has people who are paid to talk about their products.

[@Fluterra]

It's not her title that's the problem! It's that she doesn't represent the RR brand well. What a terrible fit! BMW should not be promoting the RR alongside the BMW cars. Terrible, just terrible.

[@nntflow7058]

Geez, talk about severe case of ocd.

[@Piranhabites]

rolls royce also has a women's quota, that`s all.

[@alvinsims651]

Fluterra ‘\

[@bliglum]

Is that dash wide clear panel plastic or glass? Glass of course would be nice and scratch free, but obviously for safety concerns I'm sure it's scratchy plastic.. Then again, tempered glass would work, is it glass? Hope it's nice glass, or CRYSTAL! Yeah, tempered crystal dash.

[@bliglum]

Excellent, as it should be..

[@DrivenCarReviews]

It's transparent vibranium.

[@bliglum]

Ohhhh! Sounds fancy! : )

[@catsspat]

Can you get it with a manual transmission? No? Not interested.

[@SuperEmlo]

So This car's engine is 05 06 BMW7 series v12 So it only do 12MPG

[@TheBornBoy]

RR customers comes from all walks of life, but any of those customers even bother watching youtube ? Oh btw, If I pay half a million dollar for a car I would complain about this 4:33

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

Now we're talking

[@vladmihai306]

This looks more like a facelift, not a new car. Also, they need to freshen it up, make it look a bit more modern. As it stands now, it looks worse than the previous model.

[@jamesbensch6]

Lol at least he's wearing a brand from my country XD

[@MujoNovak]

still just a car, and the clock is like from aliexpress...

[@AbzAden]

I’m good I’ll stick with my Lexus LS

[@yahyamuhammed8168]

Still like the Maybach 62 and 57 better

[@papagen00]

do they offer a 30-year car loan for this?

[@mikesouth3032]

@@simonburkeisable Nothing wrong with that.

[@Aliakbar.m]

No sunroof?!!

[@kef103]

And the ornament doesn’t even close properly

[@colinashby3775]

Great re owe, but the music is irritating. Make it softer next time. I came to hear the car and the narrators not the music. Unless this is a music video.

[@dennisthewalker]

If i buy lexus LS plus ftype it still wouldn't cost more then this.

[@Bryan-T]

Only $561k, I'll take 2.

[@mr.salvatorejpluchino8467]

LOL 😂 HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW IT SOUNDS LIKE A CRIP , ARE YOU A ZOMBIE 🧟‍♂️ IM SORRY I HAD TO GO THERE GREAT 👍 VIDEO. YOU HAVE ME INTERESTED

[@DrivenCarReviews]

In my time as a news photographer I've been everywhere including, yes, a crypt. Seriously. You know those drawers inside a morgue? I've been in one of those too. I can also tell you what it sounds like in the air-conditioning ducts of a skyscraper, the summit of Mount Rainier and the inside of a nuclear submarine. Glad you're interested in the reviews!

[@mr.salvatorejpluchino8467]

Driven Car Reviews SIR IT WAS A JOKE . I DID NOT MEAN IT IN A INSULTING WAY . BUT AGAIN GREAT 👍 VIDEO GOD BLESS

[@mr.salvatorejpluchino8467]

🤦‍♂️

[@DrivenCarReviews]

No insult taken. But thought it would be fun to point out I actually was in a crypt.

[@mr.salvatorejpluchino8467]

Cool

[@steved2008]

I wonder if I might ever watch a Phantom review without the reviewer mentioning “BMW” and “Parts Bin”, Boring!

[@vsboy2577]

I will die in that car

[@botianjiang5972]

With my life experience, only people who can never afford it are watching now. Me included.

[@cadsux]

I guess you would use Silk TP for the trunk test! The average price of a home in the San Francisco Bay Area is about $900,000 for less than 1000 square feet. You would need an annual household income of $250k to $350k just to qualify. So only them fancy pants tech folks from the likes of Google & Apple could buy one.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Is there silk TP? I hope not...

[@76carmel]

Tom - where was this press launch? It looks like Palm Springs, CA. We think the BMW X2 and M5 review is coming as well.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Yes, Palm Springs at The Thermal Club. X2 will be coming in a few weeks, sorry no time to do M5.

[@jfreilly135]

Looks like the Thermal Club in Thermal, CA

[@michaelmcmillon5933]

Idk I like to drive if I was to ever pay over $120,000 for a car ill take a Bentley Flying Spur more of a drivers car.

No, it's heaven.
