Sometimes things work out better in theory than in practice. Rolls-Royce is finding that to be the case with electric power. A few years back images of a Phantom surfaced with “Dual Mode” hybrid badges.
It turned out to be the owner pulling a joke, but the idea has been considered. More seriously though, an electric Phantom has been brought up for discussion numerous times over the past few years. We remember hearing about it back in 2009. Then, last year the 102EX Concept was shown off …
Phantom v1610 Stan HoraczekBigger! Better! Slower!
Vision Research, makers of the Phantom line of cameras that we love so thoroughly, just announced two new additions to the Phantom family, the v1210 and the laughably powerful v1610. Want to get a sense of how beefy these new cameras are? Our patriotic fireworks video, taken with a current-model Phantom, was shot at around 1,500 frames per second.

SuperVettura has a fully custom Rolls Royce Phantom in the works. The owner, a gentleman named Alan, took a rainy days’ inspiration to UK jewelery designer Pablo Rabiella to give life to his colorful vision, and then teamed up with Supervettura to execute it.
Alan resides in the UK and keeps a collection of highly desirable supercars including the Lamborghini Murcielago LP40 roadster, Pagani Zonda F Roadster, and the not to be missed custom Phantom.
With all the gloomy weather in the UK Alan felt …
Back in the mid-1990s, Volkswagen’s designers came up with a bright idea (literally…) involving the Polo supermini and the colorful theatrical character Harlequin. The result was the Polo Harlekin or Harlequin featuring a multi-colored body. Against all odds, the strange looking Polo proved to be a moderate success with Volkswagen boosting the initial production run from 1,000 cars to a total of around 3,800 units. Apparently, the allure of a multicolored car isn’t limited to the masses as the own…
