Adding to our long list of Rolls Royce Phantom wannabes from all over the world (bad taste has no ethnic boundaries...) is this creation that's said to come from Kazakhstan. A fitting (luxury) proposal for Sacha Baron Cohen's fictional character Borat, the Phantom appears to be based on the late 1980s - early 1990s, W124 Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Just like any other product, armored cars have to pass rigorous tests to make sure they deliver what they promise - even if that means destroying a six-figure vehicle like the Rolls Royce Phantom during the process. In what looks like a real life 'shootem up' video is in fact a ballistic test performed by Mutec which is a German coach builder that specializes on armored vehicles. Watch the armored Phantom being shot at with several types of guns as well as being blown up in the video after the break.Via: es.Autoblog.com
Tuners are leaving no stone unturned these harsh economic times in their pursuit to make a buck or two. And what better candidates for some extra cash than the Rolls Royce Phantom limo and its convertible offspring, the Phantom Drophead Coupe. Though Hamann Motorsports has yet to disclose something official, these photos made their way into the net revealing the two cars. Aside from the massive 23-inch alloy wheels that are available in various designs, we didn't any other exterior changes on the Phantoms. A photograph of the interior though reveals that the German tuner has developed a new three spoke sport steering wheel for both models. It is also said, but not verified, that Hamann Motorsport's Phantom package also includes an engine kit that boosts the 6.75-liter V12's output from 460HP to 535HP and maximum torque from 720Nm to 835Nm (615-lbs/ft). Along with the removal of the speed limiter, it is claimed that both Phantoms reach a top speed of 300km/h or 187 mph.

This is so wrong, in so many ways that we've lost count. But admittedly it is comically hilarious. Actually it's probably the most ridiculous transformation of a Hummer we've seen to date. Now, why on earth would someone perform a Rolls Royce Phantom-like face transplant on an Hummer H2 is beyond logical comprehension. We'll just leave it at that...Via: Autogespot
If by any chance you were wondering whether or not this year's Shanghai Auto Show that runs from April 20 to 28 will host any new Chinese clones, BYD Auto with its Lexus RX doppelganger and now Geely with its new "Phantomized" GE limo, leave few doubts to as what we should be expecting to see at the motorshow.
Among the army of new cars and concept studies that Geely is preparing to bring to Shanghai is the GE, a proposal for a high-end limousine that looks like the outcome of a 10-year-old designing a Rolls-Royce Phantom. However, unlike the British luxury sedan, the 5.3-meter long GE does not get suicide rear doors while weirdly enough, the car's interior has a 2+1 seating arrangement, with the rear passenger getting the royal treatment.

With inspiration coming from the Phantom Drophead Coupe (convertible) and the Phantom Coupe, Rolls Royce revealed the 2009 Model Year Phantom and Phantom Extended Wheelbase. The facelifted Phantom limos are distinguished on the outside by a new streamlined front bumper that has been designed and integrated with a shallower grille, finished in stainless steel. Other new exterior features include LED door handle illumination and the fitting of 21-inch cast alloy wheels as standard.
Furthermore, the BMW Group owned British automaker offers two more wheel options, both manufactured in forged alloy and available in either painted or part polished finishes.
Inside, the rear passengers of the 2009 Phantom benefit from a new RCA component input which provides auxiliary audio and visual connectivity to the 12-inch monitors mounted within the picnic tables. Other additions include new front and rear door cappings with integrated grab handles and new bi-directional double reading lights in the C-pillar while the rar climate control, volume control and electric window switches have been repositioned and are now housed in a wood veneer panel in the door.
The subtly facelifted Phantom sedans will go on sale this spring.
