Newly designed, fresh website. Nothing on the Drophead just yet, but stay tuned, something should be on the site within a matter of days.

Re: Rolls Royce Drophead convertible

Looks pretty nice, but being a RR shouldnt there be more room in the back since these are chauffeur cars afterall.

I think the droptop would definitely be a driver's car - if one were to buy a chauffeured RR, he would buy the limousine.

Re: Rolls Royce Drophead convertible

Being it that this car is based off of the Phantom which is quite a roomy car (I can speak for myself having climbed in all four seats, and it swallowed me whole, I'm 6'5"). There is probably just a tad less room in the back than in it's sedan counterpart. Also keep in mind that RR is more a drivers cars now than ever before, thanks to BMW.

Re: Rolls Royce Drophead convertible

hmm is this the production version..
im not really diggin this.. i need to see more pics and diffrent colours..
to me it looks very boring from the rear..and the front is somewhat akward for a roller as the grill leans back..
love the doors.. and im not exactly a fan of the wood behind the seats..looks like a boat..
cool led lamps though..

PS
For now my choice would be the Bentley Convert rather than this.. but ile have to wait and see

Re: Rolls Royce Drophead convertible

Just like I announced a few weeks ago.

And again confirmed few days ago.
So, new RR "Corniche".

"Drophead" / "Drophead coupe" is RR's old term for convertible.

Eg. RR Phantom Drophead (Coupe)

Press release is on the way ...
