Pearl White Phantom

Arriving in the pearl white Project Kahn Rolls-Royce Phantom at the Oscars or at a casino in Monte Carlo would ensure everyone will know someone special is about make a grand entrance; this ‘Pearl White’ beauty has a richness befitting a car of this exclusive nature.

The foremost features of the Rolls-Royce Phantom are exquisite to say the least. The wheel has been designed by A. Kahn Design to take the original centre cap and has a meticulous diamond polish in each spoke: Their new 9.5 X 22” Kahn Silver Mist wheel is subtle, and provides OE fitment with superior style – this effortlessly compliments the Phantom.

Furthermore, a complete bespoke interior design service is available to suit individual tastes along with clear side repeaters and black piano facias. As the UK’s leading automotive design house, Project Kahn seems to have realized the importance of dynamic cutting edge designs whilst staying true to the original form.

Owning the Rolls Royce DHC pertains to a level of bespoke authenticity that will bring back memories of the time honored Rolls-Royce tradition while providing up to date European styling and keeping with the Rolls Royce ethos.

Rolls-Royce doesn’t need to advertise. Maybe it’s because there is simply no alternative. The Phantom has the pluto-matic market all to itself; a first cousin only to silence, and manners, and breeding.

One thing for sure: the Pearl White Phantom certainly communicates wealth.

Please note Project Kahn/Kahn Design have no direct relationship with Rolls Royce.

Smaller engines are certainly getting faster and more powerful.

However, there is an inclination to give buyers a wider than ever choice of colossal V8s, V10s, V12s and W12s before they even begin to consider whether they want it supercharged, turbocharged or whatever.

Furthermore, today’s big hitters are small-fry in historic terms, a quick glance at some real old behemoths is all it takes to put these modern vehicles into perspective and to silence anyone who thinks an addiction to excess is a purely modern affliction.

Biggest engine in a concept car: 13.6-litres

In the 1930s Cadillac created the luxurious V16 for the likes of Pope Pius XII, starlet Mae West and, er, Al Capone – and 70 years later revisited the idea with the 1,000 hp/1,000 lb ft Cadillac Sixteen Concept. This time it came with a ‘green’ twist though, something called Displacement on Demand.

This shut down half the cylinders to reduce emissions then automatically reactivated them when the driver’s right foot decided they’re needed. Unfortunately its chances of going into production are about the same as that of Pius XII lending his car to Capone when the latter’s was in for repair.

Biggest engine in a Smart: 5.67-litres

The brainchild, if that’s the word, of rally driver Stefan Attart the Smart Forfun2 mated a Smart body to Unimog 406 underpinnings including the latter’s six-cylinder OM 352 diesel engine. Outputting 84 bhp this makes it by far the puniest car here, despite having twice the punch of the original.

It nevertheless turns heads wherever it goes thanks to its mammoth 65 cm ground clearance, 26 inch rims and 3.7 metre height. Despite appearances, it’s quite a serious vehicle, Attart having insisted on manually controlled air suspension to give the driver a very real advantage on extreme downhill gradients.

Biggest engine in a limousine: 12.7-litres

Twenty-one feet long and with a fourteen-foot wheelbase, the Bugatti Type 41 – invariably known as the Royale – was the right car at the wrong time, or maybe just the wrong car. Launched in 1929 just as a worldwide recession began to bite, it found no takers at all among its target audience – Europe’s ruling families.

After just six examples had been built for sale a number of its straight-eight engines were redeployed pulling railway trains. One later sold at auction for a record-breaking £5.5 million, but not before Mrs Bugatti had disposed of hers by swapping it for a couple of refrigerators.

Biggest engine in a Rolls-Royce: 27-litres

Everyone knows the Spitfire had a Rolls-Royce engine so eventually someone was bound to put a Spitfire engine into a Rolls – and that someone was Nick Harley. No stranger to expensive exotics – he’d previously bought a Grand Prix Mercedes and a Bugatti Royale – dropping a half-tonne Merlin into a 1938 Phantom II Continental must have seemed obvious.

Fuel feed was a problem for the 1,000hp V12 – eventually NASCAR pumps did the trick at a rate of 100 gallons an hour – but now it’s complete the towering torque means there’s no need to shift out of top.

Biggest engine in a Ferrari: seven litres

For years European sports car makers snootily dismissed the Yanks’ simple trusting faith in cubic inches, choosing instead to combat their crude ‘lazy litres’ with clever technology – at least until the Ford GT40 and McLaren’s Chevrolet-engined M8 began to dominate at Le Mans and in Can-Am.

Eventually even Enzo was stung into action, wheeling out the Ferrari 712 – seven litres, 12 cylinders – in an attempt to silence the American upstarts once and for all. In this it failed, of course, and the reds stepped back from sports car racing, but the car still looks, and is, magnificent.

Arriving in a Rolls Royce Phantom at the Oscars or at a casino in Monte Carlo would ensure everyone will know someone special is about make a grand entrance; this ‘Pearl White’ beauty has a richness befitting a car of this exclusive nature.

The foremost features of the Rolls Royce Phantom are exquisite to say the least.

What exactly do you need to live the high-speed, high-octane Project Kahn high-life?

Kahn News.com has compiled a list to illustrate the ‘high-life’ at Project Kahn!

To live the Project Kahn High Life you must own:

1)  A Project Kahn Vehicle

First things first, you would need one or two prominent Project Kahn vehicles, complete with the full aerodynamic body styling system, while the interior is given the full Kahn treatment with full leather seats and door trim. This completely transforms the car, providing a complete and encapsulating look.

You could opt for the Rolls-Royce Phantom; arriving in this particular vehicle would ensure everyone will know someone special is about make a grand entrance; this ‘Pearl White’ beauty has a richness befitting a car of this exclusive nature.

Alternatively, you could opt for the Kahn Cosworth Sport 300.

The Cosworth Sport 300 is the first road car to wear the prestigious Cosworth badge for over a decade. The design of the 4×4 supercar has been significantly influenced by the dramatic and flamboyant appearances of the Ford and Mercedes Cosworth vehicles of the late 80s and early 90s.

The specification of the Kahn Cosworth Sport RSE 300 is impressive.

The 3.6-litre V8 diesel engine gets an increase in power from 286bhp to 300bhp enabling a 0-62mph time of 8 seconds and top speed of 135mph.

The 104 year old registration was previously on a £30,000 Volvo s80 used by the council chairman.

“I knew I had to have it,” said Afzal. “I have spent years chasing it. I cannot believe I’ve finally got it.”

Rolls-Royce doesn’t need to advertise. Not when you have Alan Sugar whizzing hither and thither in his Phantom every week on The Apprentice. And on the other side, Simon Cowell doing much the same thing on The X Factor. Maybe it’s because there is simply no alternative. The Phantom has the pluto-matic market all to itself; a first cousin only to silence, and manners, and breeding. It is an exquisite car and I would have one tomorrow if it weren’t so bloody expensive. That and the fact my wife has said she would divorce me. And then kill me with a knife.

However, when I came home to find it sitting in my drive, all huge and brilliant, I’m afraid I started to dribble. And then my wife came home. “Jesus H Christ,” she said. “What is that monstrosity doing here?” An argument ensued. She said it was vulgar. I said she was from the Isle of Man so she’d know. Some doors slammed. And I went for a drive. Like its hard top brother, this also has no rivals. Well, unless you count the Bentley Azure, which is of course excellent. If you like to waft around in something that can trace its roots back to 1959. Which means you’d be wafting around in something that’s older than me. The Rolls doesn’t look or feel old fashioned at all. Everything, from the unpainted bonnet to the backwards-opening suicide doors to the rattan carpets and, yes, even the teak Sunseeker-style decking on the back, makes it look as fresh and as futuristic as tomorrow morning’s papers. Add to this steering, suspension and a gearbox, all of which feel decidedly American and you very quickly learn to back off and waft. The next day we took it to a party in Marlow, me in the driver’s seat and my wife curled up in the passenger footwell in case she was seen. But it didn’t matter, because we weren’t speaking anyway.

This is mainly because we had comprehensively failed to find a way of opening the boot, so she’d put her bags on the back seat and her favourite scarf had blown away. And also, the satellite navigation system – one of the few bits on the car obviously to have been lifted from a BMW – steadfastly refused to acknowledge Marlow existed.

When we arrived at our party in Marlow everyone went berserk. I’ve never seen a car cause such a stir, and suddenly the point of the Roller became crystal clear. It is not built for speed or grip. It is not built to excite with its handling or the roar from its exhaust. It is not built to be safe, or frugal, or cheap. It is not built to do any of the things we have come to expect of cars in recent years. It is not built to go places. It is built to arrive. This car, then, is not a car at all. It is a fanfare. A blast of trumpeteering to silence the crowds when someone special is about to enter the room. The reason why there’s no advertising for this car is simple. It’s built to advertise you. Sure, I will admit that in England it is a bit ostentatious, a sunflower in a field of weeds. Arriving anywhere here in such a thing is the same as arriving with a Rolex at an NUM reunion. But arriving in a Drophead at the Oscars or at the casino in Monte Carlo would be more impressive, I suspect, than arriving in Keira Knightley.

And because of this I shall ignore the pleas of my wife. And give it five stars.
