The Phantom III was the most advanced and potent Rolls-Royce before World War I, boasting cutting-edge engineering and a commanding appearance. Up to the 1998 release of the Silver Seraph, the Phantom III was the first and only 12-cylinder Rolls-Royce. The 7.3-liter engine had a double ignition system, two spark plugs for each cylinder, two fuel pumps, aluminum heads, and wet liners. Despite its size, the Phantom III operated in almost complete silence and was fairly quick. The Phantom III, like its illustrious forerunner the Silver Ghost, was capable of achieving speeds of about 100 miles per hour, an astounding performance for any automobile of the time.
