Rolls-Royce Phantom Performance Overview

Rolls-Royce’s modern Phantom, in this dataset covering 2006 to 2014, presents a narrow but consistent performance profile across 5 verified tests. All recorded results fall within the Phantom VII era, with gasoline power only, and with the model’s 6.75-liter V12 appearing in both naturally aspirated N73B68 and twin-turbocharged N74B68 form at 453 hp. The benchmark arrived immediately: the 2006 Sedan posted the quickest run in the sample at 5.4 seconds to 60 mph, establishing the model’s low point for acceleration in these tests.

Subsequent results show modest variation by body style rather than any broad shift in character. The 2008 Sedan reached 60 mph in 5.5 seconds, while the 2009 Sedan matched that pace and ran the quarter-mile in 14.1 seconds at 99 mph. Open-top versions trailed slightly, with the 2009 Drophead Coupe Convertible recording 6.0 seconds to 60 mph, the slowest launch in the group. By the end of the covered span, the 2014 Sedan returned to the stronger end of the range with a 5.7-second 0-60 run and the quickest quarter-mile result, 13.9 seconds at 100 mph. In current context, the Phantom VII remains represented here as a gasoline V12 luxury sedan and convertible line with tightly clustered acceleration results.

How we verify Rolls-Royce Phantom performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Rolls-Royce Phantom trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
