FEATURE RIDE: Freddie Mercury's Rolls‑Royce Phantom V

Specs at a Glance

  • Engine: 6.2 liter Rolls Royce V8 (quiet as a studio booth, smooth as Freddie’s falsetto)

  • Length: 19 ft 2in—plenty of room for a backstage after party

  • Top Speed: A dignified 100 mph—this limo’s about arrival, not drag strip glory
