最近谍照记者拍到了正在测试的2018款劳斯莱斯幻影。车厂表示，新一代车型将更轻，更上档次。2018款幻影采用渐进式改款，包括突出的格栅，两侧矩形前大灯。车身侧面改动不大，仍采用向后开启后门和厚重的C柱。虽然车厂不愿透露新车更多细节，但已经证实将采用全新铝制框架结构。这将使车重大幅降低，同时保持“魔毯”般驾驶感受。该车动力系统仍为一台V12引擎，但将进行精细化调整。车厂还将提供插电混动版，但官方没有透露该车任何信息。

 

2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom spied with an evolutionary design

The Rolls-Royce Phantom is one of the world's most luxurious automobiles but the model has been largely unchanged since it was introduced over a decade ago. That's about to change as the company has begun testing an all-new model which promises to be lighter and more upscale than its predecessor.

 

The 2018 Phantom has an evolutionary design with a prominent grille that is flanked by rectangular headlights. The déjà vu design continues out back as we can see familiar bodywork, rear "coach doors," and thick C-pillars.

 

Rolls-Royce has been tight-lipped about the model but the company has already confirmed it will ride on all-new aluminum space-frame architecture. This will enable the Phantom to be significantly lighter than its predecessor while maintaining a "magic-carpet ride" quality.

 

Power will once again be provided by a V12 engine and it will favor refinement over performance. Rolls-Royce could also offer a plug-in hybrid variant but nothing is official as of yet.
