How’s that for a bonus. It’s not free faux leather seat covers or an upgraded audio system option you get from buying a new car (if your car salesman’s generous). It’s a Heinz Mayer 18k gold bracelet with diamonds that you get from buying a Centenary Phantom from Rolls-Royce. The Phantom’s built to celebrate Rolls-Royce’s 100 years in the business back in 2004. The bracelet can’t be bought elsewhere and would only be given to the 35 (special limited production) owners of the Centenary Phantom.
Well, if I’m paying $470,000 (base) for a car, I better get a darned nice freebie! Oh and the Phantom’s never the pennypincher. With a 453-HP 6.7-liter, 48-valve, DOHC V12 it literally guzzles up gas – city driving gets you 10 MPG while highway driving gets 21 MPG. You have to be really rich to drive this baby. Are these things supposed to be driven anyway?
Last month, Rolls-Royce unveiled the Phantom Silver which commemorates the Silver Ghost’s 100 years.
