Rolls-Royce revealed the Phantom VIII for the 2018 model year, and as we kick off 2022, it’s about time the brand looks to give it an update. Of course, this will be a mid-cycle update, so the changes won’t be drastic – not that Rolls-Royce generational changes are – but there will be a few notable differences. Expected to launch for the 2023 model year, this prototype and its camo revels that we can expect a new grille and headlights, the latter of which could be the new laser headlights that we’ve been hearing about. A new front and rear fascia could also happen, however, we won’t see any hint of these until later on in 2022.
As for power output, it’s not Rolls-Royce style to make any big updates, so expect the 6.75-liter engine to continue putting out 563 horsepower and 663 pound-feet of torque. The five-second sprint to 60 mph will remain unchanged as will the 155-mph top speed. The interior could also see some minor updates, but I wouldn’t expect much. If anything, Rolls will build upon what’s already going on inside the cabin. After all, it really doesn’t get more luxurious than the Phantom, so the biggest expectation here will be updated technology. Check out the photo gallery below to get a better look at this new prototype.
