Depending on the type of limo, you can pretty much tell what type of passengers are inside: a few teens going to the prom, a bride-to-be or a wealthy businessman. Throw the Rolls-Royce brand into the equation, though, and you know that things are about to get insanely expensive.
The price on this one is €3 million, or $3.3 million at today’s exchange rates, tax included. Advertised on Mobile by Klassen, you can take delivery 6 months after placing the order, and what you get is a brand new Phantom, which is the definition of opulence on wheels.

In this case, the regular Phantom’s 3,772 mm (148.5 in) wheelbase has been extended by over 1 meter (39 in) to 4,822 mm (189.8 in), and the car is now 7,032 mm (277 in or 23.1 feet) long. Then comes the B7 ballistic protection, complete with partition walls, which will keep occupants safe in the event of unfriendly fire… or explosions.
Now, this being a Rolls-Royce, Klassen stepped up and added a few extra features. There’s an iMac multimedia center with PC/Wi-Fi/CD/DVD, Bang & Olufsen premium sound system and ambient lighting, for when those inside want to relax, and most functions can be controlled via an iPhone.
The Phantom was already a heavy car, with a curb weight of 2,610 kg (5,754 lbs) in the extended wheelbase model. However, in spite of making it several feet longer and bulletproof, the company didn’t tune the engine at all. Thus, the 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 still makes 571 PS (563 hp / 420 kW) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque, but should offer decent performance for the vehicle that weighs as much as a small house.
