EVO - RR Phantom Coupe











Rating:


According to the press pack, this new Coupe is ‘the most driver-orientated model in the Phantom line-up’. Fair enough, but then the dynamic capabilities of the rest of the range are hardly cutting edge, are they?

Opulent is perhaps a better way to describe this car, as it shares all the waftyness of its saloon big brother, albeit in a form some ten inches shorter. Entering via the huge – and hugely heavy – rear-hinged doors sets the scene perfectly (no need to heave them closed – a button on the dash takes care of that). Coax the 6.75-litre V12 into life and, so unbelievably quiet is it at tick-over, there is absolutely no way of knowing it’s running.

I agree with them. A Phantom should be a dynamical marvel, why not drop the weight, put a racing engine, bigger wheels and let's take the Rolls to a trackday. My god these journalists are idiot's, a Phantom doesn't need to handle well, it's made for confort. More power in that V12 would't be bad but in handling they shouldn't move a bit.
I know, a charesmatic english brand owned by germans? it must hurt a bit doesn't?

Must be one hell of an expensive option though. Should I send Rolls Royce an email and ask?

No u shouldn't ,u know the the LED tech itself in roof is not expensive but of course as u would surely expect they charge a ludicrous amount for it.
