Few luxury cars are as timeless as the Rolls-Royce Phantom, and U.S. rapper Macklemore is now parting ways with his, purchased in 2019 and currently with 55,000 miles (~88,500 km) on the clock. Rolling up to the Thrift Shop in this thing is a surefire way to attract attention.
The Phantom with the famous owner is an Extended Wheelbase model. As Rolls-Royces go, this one is quite subtle, painted in a simple shade of black with 11-spoke, 21-inch wheels complete with a silver finish and self-levelling center caps. Perhaps the most eye-catching element on the exterior is the Goodyear tires with thin white walls. This touch is right on brand for Macklemore as in 2012, he released a single called White Walls, celebrating white wall tires on a classic Cadillac.

Found inside is all of the luxury you would expect from a Rolls-Royce. The seats and door panels are clad in plush tan leather and burl wood is abundant across the dashboard and door panels. The luxury sedan has covered roughly 7,000 miles (~11,200 km) under Macklemore’s ownership, although it’s unclear how much of that was driven by him or if he was chauffeured around.
There’s plenty more to like about the interior of the Phantom than the tan leather and wooden components. For example, it has lambs-wool floor mats, rear picnic tables, a Lexicon Logic7 sound system, and dual-zone climate control.
As a 2013 model, the sedan is powered by a 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 pumping out 453 hp and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm). While these figures are solid, they’re not the most defining aspect of the engine. Instead, this V12 is renowned for its smoothness and refinement, making it perfect for a car like the Phantom. Coupled with the V12 is an eight-speed automatic transmission.
