The 2012 Rolls-Royce Phantom is the latest version of 2012 Rolls-Royce. When a car costs roughly double the current U.S. median home price, chances are good the company building the thing won’t do anything too radical.

The 2012 Rolls-Royce Phantom front grille appears smaller than before, and more smoothly integrated into the gently forward sloping hood and front fascia. The 2012 Rolls-Royce Phantom headlights are also efficient, beside with the lower half of the front bumper. It’s not much dissimilar than the current model but, normally speaking, the latest face is more modern and fresh.

Too bad the taillights didn’t get quite the same thought to detail. They’re smaller than before, which is fine with us. But the clear plastic looks a little too import-tuner scene for a car like the Phantom Drophead. Then again, allowing for the level of customization 2012 Rolls-Royce offers its clientele, a well-heeled customer could probably order taillights in Burberry tartan if he or she so desired. Phantom appears the case with the next generation of the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, set to arrive later this year. With a current base price of $452,000, this 4-passenger convertible is due a makeover befitting its stature as one of the world’s most exclusive cars.
