Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe

Rolls-Royce unveiled its latest Phantom Coupé and will be in production at Goodwood in the summer of 2008. The Coupé is the most driver-orientated model in the Phantom line. A number of subtle but significant modifications have been made that change its character. Superior styling as always and this new Phantom Coupé will run with the V12 engine pulling out 453 horsepower and 531 lb-ft torque and has segment-leading fuel economy. Phantom Coupé can sprint from 0-60mph (100 km/h) in 5.6 seconds.



The Phantom Coupé features rear-hinged coach doors which add considerably to the ease of access to the rear lounge seats as well as to the overall aesthetics. They help 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 bonnet, as seen for the first time on 100EX, is also available for the Coupé.
At the rear is a spacious boot. A split tail compartment that opens in two parts, gives easy access to 395 litres of space. The lower tailgate also provides a comfortable seating platform for two adults when lowered. Base Price for 2009 Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe is about $412,000 USD.
