FOLLOW US
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé is a British
handmade (except chassis) luxury coupe
manufactured by Rolls-Royce that debuted at
the 2008 Geneva International Auto Show in
Geneva, Switzerland , on 6 March 2008. [1] The
platform is based on the 2003 Rolls-Royce
Phantom and has styling heavily derived from
the Rolls-Royce 100EX, a concept car unveiled
to celebrate the company's centennial in
2004. [2] Its interior includes leather and wood
veneer. There is a button to close the "coach
doors" ( suicide doors ). The Phantom Coupe
has the same 6.75 litre V12 as found in the
other Phantom models, developing 338 kW
(453 bhp ) of power and 720 N·m (531 lb·ft) of
torque. [3]
Specification
The Phantom Coupé is powered by a 6.75 L
V12, producing 459 PS (338 kW; 453 hp), 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. [4]
The car features reverse-opening power-
closing doors, adaptive suspension with
automatic four-corner leveling, 21-inch alloy
wheels, a 15-speaker 420 watt sound system
with navigation, and a handcrafted interior
with flawless leather trim and a choice of
wood veneers. The "picnic" trunk provides a
seating platform for two and offers easy
access to the luggage compartment . Optional
equipment includes front and rear parking
cameras and a wide array of paint colors and
interior trim material choices. A unique option
is a full-length "starlight" headliner, which
incorporates hundreds of tiny fibre optics to
give the impression of a star-filled night sky.

Performance
The Phantom Coupé is capable of
accelerating from 0-60 mph (0–97 km/h) in
5.8 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph
(249 km/h), with a fuel consumption in
combined cycle (ECE+EUDC) of 16 L/100 km
(18 mpg -imp ; 15 mpg -US ) while producing
377g/km of CO2. [6]
Reception
The Phantom Coupé has received mostly
positive reviews from critics. The British
television show Top Gear rated the car 9/10
for performance, 10/10 for quality, 9/10 for
design, but criticised its high cost. [7]
