Rolls-Royce freshens up its Phantom flagship heading into 2023

The Rolls-Royce Phantom entered a new generation five years ago, and has now finally grown ripe for a major update. The facelifted model will be officially called 'Series II'.

You can tell the new Phantom by a new front insert connecting the headlights, backlight built into the grille, and nostalgia-inducing steelies shaped like the wheels on 1920s-era cars.

The seats in the back row now feature an eco-friendly trim, while the front seats still come finished in leather for some reason. Equipment on board includes an updated infotainment system, a thicker steering wheel and a wireless smartphone interface.

Powering the luxury sedan is its old 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 571 PS (563 hp / 420 kW) mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and the rear wheels.
