The Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe is the latest addition to the automaker's growing line of vehicles. The new car follows in the footsteps of the Drophead Coupe, which is a convertible version of the Phantom. The two are closely related, with obvious cues from the 100EX concept car.
The large driver-oriented grand tourer is powered by the company's 6.75-liter V12 that produces 453 horsepower, 531 pound-feet of torque -- with nearly 400 lb-ft, or 75 percent, available at just 1,000 rpm -- and has segment-leading fuel economy thanks to modern technology such as direct injection and variable valve and camshaft control.
A 25 percent increase in fuel capacity, compared to the Drophead Coupe, adds significant driving range. Electronic driving aids are integrated into the car's anti-lock braking and traction control system to ensure the behemoth is never out of shape.
At the core of the Phantom Coupe is an aluminum chassis. The lightweight unibody structure is hand made, requiring over 430 feet of welding.
The Phantom Coupe features rear-hinged coach doors which add considerably to the ease of access to the rear seats as well as to the overall aesthetics. According to the automaker, they also aid the overall stiffness of the body as the rear hinged doors allow for an uninterrupted A-pillar helping to make this the most torsionally rigid Rolls-Royce ever. A brushed steel finish of A-pillar and hood, as seen first on 100EX Concept, is also available for the Coupe.
The Drophead's Picnic Boot, a split opening tailgate trunk, is likewise retained. A choice of three 21-inch wheel styles is available at no additional cost.
"Rolls-Royce has always been about pace, performance and style," Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Chief Designer, Ian Cameron, said. "The dynamic drive of the Phantom has always come as a surprise to customers and the Coupe takes it one step further."
Should buyers want to add a few features or customize their Phantom Coupe, they certainly may with options such as Starlight Headlining, which adds over 1,600 hand-set fiber optic lights into the headliner to give the illusion of a star-filled sky. Or, buyers can pay to extend the wood veneer beyond the fascia and into the interior by covering the rear window surround, parcel shelf and door cappings with a veneer of choice.
Speaking of veneers, choices vary slightly from other Phantom models, in this case including Piano Black, Mahogany Flare, Rosewood, Walnut Burr, Elm Cluster and Zebrano as the standard choices - with the option for one-off Bespoke service choices available as well.
Leather color options are equally abundant, including 12 colors as standard - with the always-present option of customer provided or selected colors outside of that range.
Key competitors
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe is a true uber-luxury convertible, finding very few competitors offering such a unique combination of size, power and luxury. Buyers may want to consider the Bentley Continental GT, Bentley Mulsanne or Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG.
