Well the Phantom isn't really meant to be driven as a 0-60 car, it's suppose to be ultra smooth off the line hence the low end torque or as RR calls it "wafting". It's going to be tough for Mercedes or really any manufacturer to top the RR Ghost and Phantom because BMW captured the essence of what the RR name means with the Phantom and now the Ghost and that's why I feel BMW will never create a 7 series that is beyond amazing because of the Ghost which you can say is the real flagship of BMW.

And I've read that Mercedes is thinking about going with a "ultra luxury" version for their new S class instead of creating a Maybach replacement maybe to go up against the RR ghost?
