Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is the convertible version of the ultra-luxurious Phantom sedan. It's not as long as the limo-sized Phantom sedan and has two doors, instead of four. Its folding, heavily insulated fabric top is lined with cashmere. The Phantom Drophead Coupe features a posh interior, the design of which is based on classic yachts. A massive V12 engine delivers ample power, and the car's well-mannered driving characteristics border on sporty. A fixed-roof coupe version is expected to debut later in 2008.
