| The Phantom saloon model, the Series II came out in 2012. |
The designers who work at Rolls Royce must surely enjoy the relative freedom of working on cars with emphasis on quality rather than cost. Despite the upmarket price they also sell well, showing that there is strong demand for premium products in whatever field they exist.

There are two models, the less expensive Ghost - coming in both saloon and coupé (Wraith) body styles - and the more upmarket Phantom with the same two model options. The Phantom Coupé comes as either a hard top or a drop top model.

The Ghost model has taken the Rolls Royce into another level of sales, introducing the marque to new customers. The coupé version (Wraith) only went on sale September 2013, so the nearly 500 unit sales was outstanding.
