At first glance, you probably wouldn't tell that this gorgeous Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB (Extended Wheelbase) has received Mansory's touch. And it hasn't, in theory, as it came from RDB LA's portfolio. In practice, though, the luxury land yacht has multiple add-ons that the controversial tuner signed.
Unlike most of Mansory's projects, which tend to step into the OTT realm, this Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB rocks discreet upgrades. It has a reinterpreted lower front bumper with extra DRLs, a chin spoiler with tiny side blades, side skirt attachments, a new diffuser, and a pair of spoilers, one on the trunk lid and another above the rear windscreen.
This British luxury sedan would have been better looking without the forged look applied to the add-ons. However, we won't complain, as the car features a black paint finish and a chrome-delete package, which makes it look like it can always blend in with the traffic in Gotham City. The wheels came from Mansory's portfolio, and we've seen them on multiple other modified vehicles, yet they look best on Rolls-Royces.

The blacked-out windows offer extra privacy for the occupants of this Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB. Fortunately, RDB LA was kind enough to open the doors and reveal the interior, which is just as classy as the exterior. It is basically a black-on-black theme, save for a few red touches here and there, and the cockpit boasts black leather upholstery and a black headliner. You can bet your bottom dollar on the fact that this ride has everything you'd ever need from a modern luxury land yacht.
Just like the standard wheelbase version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, the EWB also features a V12 motor. The 6.75-liter engine features dual turbos and produces 563 horsepower (571 ps/420 kW) at 5,000 rpm and 664 pound-feet (900 Nm) of torque from as low as 1,700 rpm. Due to the extra weight, the RR Phantom EWB is one-tenth of a second slower than the regular one from 0 to 62 mph (100 kph). The sprint takes 5.4 seconds, which is extremely impressive in a car shaped like a brick that weighs as much as a small shed.
You are probably wondering if the pictured Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB is for sale, as usually, the modified cars that end up on social media are in search of new homes. However, that doesn't seem to be the case here, as this one is more of a marketing prop used by RDB LA to brag about what it can do with Mansory's extras. The company advises interested parties to reach out to them for their Mansory builds, and we hope they keep each and every one of those rides as clean as this Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB.
