  • First look: Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe

    Feb 17, 2008 1:45 PM

    Rolls-Royce will use next month’s Geneva motor show to blood its first new coupe for over thirty years: the Phantom Coupe.
    The first of these £285,000 two-doors will be handbuilt-to-order at the firm’s Goodwood factory this summer. It is billed as Rolls-Royce’s most entertaining and dynamic model. And Autocar has detailed and exclusive photographs of it, as well as all of the vital details.

    With only 2 cars in this rarefied class, the other being the Bentley Brooklands, what would you choose if given the choice? Both look stunning, have an exquisite interior and ample performance.

    Just hope Maybach doesn't decide to produce a rival. How vulgar would that look!

    Absolutely Fantastic! Can't say I'd like one, def couldn't afford one but once again the Germans show how to develop a car thoroughly both in form, in the details and as a brand. Tremendous.

    At least BMW understand Rolls and have injected vibrance, modernism and energy into the Spirit of Ectasy!

     It looks absolutely stunnning, mind you Sir Alan will have watch out for the £25 for Uncle Ken!

    Yes, they've done a very good job.

    The only puzzling thing is that it only weighs 30 kilos compared to the Drophead; not that weight saving would be a priority for a car like this. Regardless, a lovely new toy for those Monte Carlo multi-millionaires.
