Pictured above is the fender of Rolls-Royce’s forthcoming Phantom Hybrid. But wait, Rolls-Royce hasn’t said anything about a Phantom Hybrid, have they? Nope, that’s because what you see above probably isn’t a Phantom Hybrid.
Does the hybrid badge in the picture look familiar? It should, because its the same exact badge GM currently slaps on their hybrid vehicles. According to Autoblog the driver apparantly calims the car was given to a VIP by Rolls-Royce for testing.
Is that the truth? Probably not, it seems a lot more likely that the driver just felt like playing a joke on the unsuspecting public, pryed the hybrid logo (or pruchased) off an existing automobile and had it put onto their Phantom. Then again, I could be wrong, but until Rolls-Royce says anything of a hybrid, this should be viewed as nothing more than a joke.
