Phantom Interior View

Acoustics

Ensuring the Phantom was as quiet as possible, both outside, to foster an impression of silent power, and inside, to create a uniquely hushed ambience, was a major objective for our engineers.

To achieve this, special ‘whisper-valves’ are fitted in the exhaust system, to render the Phantom almost completely silent when stationary, and when moving away from a standstill. The ultra-rigid aluminium spaceframe plays a major role in preventing squeaks and rattles, while extensive use of sound-deadening materials around the Phantom’s structure absorbs what little engine noise there is. To isolate occupants from wind noise the side windows feature laminated acoustic glass, while a double bulkhead separates the engine bay from the passenger compartment, and the Phantom’s double floor has a similar silencing effect on road noise.

More than simply a humble space to stow luggage, the Phantom’s luggage compartment is finished to the same luxurious standards as the passenger compartment. Normally trimmed in black wool carpet, it is possible to have trim that matches that of the interior, or even deck-style teak, with bi-folding hatches revealing two lower compartments.

Our Bespoke service also offers a number of boot-mounted options, including tailor-made picnic hampers, cool boxes and even a safe for your most precious items. A powered, soft-close lid is fitted as standard and can be operated via the remote locking fob for ultimate convenience.

Straight Headliner

A striking and original feature first seen in the 101EX experimental car, the award winning Starlight Headliner is now available for the first time in a production car.

Designed to create the illusion of a dazzling sky at night in the Phantom’s rear passenger compartment, the Starlight Headliner’s magical effect is created using fibre optic and LED technology. Featuring 800, individually hand fixed ‘stars’ (640 ‘stars’ in cars fitted with a sunroof), the brightness of the ‘stars’ can be adjusted to suit any mood or situation, from an intense light for reading to a soothing glow for total relaxation. It can also be switched off altogether.

The Starlight Headliner is available in either black leather or oatmeal leather finishes, and when specified with a sunroof the front Headliner is also finished in matching leather, with a matching shade of cashmere used for the sunblind. 

Audio Integration for iPod

With its iconic design and flawless functionality, Apple’s iPod has rapidly become the definitive portable personal entertainment system.

In recognition of this we have developed Audio Integration for iPod. Offered as an option in addition to the standard Auxilliary-In Audio Socket, it provides a fully integrated means of accessing and enjoying your iPod playlist in the Phantom and Phantom Extended Wheelbase.

Once safely in its leather case and docked in the cradle concealed within the Phantom’s upper glovebox, the iPod can be controlled by both driver and passengers, using either the steering wheel buttons, the audio panel buttons or Multi-Task Rotary Controller.

With connection complete the iPod’s battery charge is maintained for non-stop play, while Apple’s familiar menu functions can be displayed on the Phantom’s front monitor. If iPod integration is ordered in conjunction with Rear Theatre configuration, the rear rotary controller can also be used and functions viewed through the rear monitor.
