Vehicle Overview

Rolls-Royce's Phantom Coupe was introduced for the 2009 model year. It is a highly customizable, hand-built model with high-end build quality and materials.

New for 2013

The Phantom lineup gets a new front bumper design for 2013 with standard LED headlights and a new single-piece grille surround on the convertible and coupe. Technology changes include an updated navigation system with 3-D map display and an updated camera with top, rear and split-front views.

Exterior

Rolls designed the Phantom Coupe to look like it was moving even at a standstill. Its exterior can be painted in a dizzying number of colors. The paint process includes five individual coats of paint and lacquer with hand finishing between layers, followed by a five-hour hand polish. Exterior features include:

  • Rear-hinged doors
  • Picnic trunk that lowers to seat two
  • Doors can be remotely closed
  • Stainless-steel and aluminum accents
  • 21-inch wheels
  • Available brushed stainless-steel hood and A-pillars

Interior

A maximum of four occupants are surrounded in a hand-built interior covered in real leather, wood and chrome. The stereo is controlled through a single dial, and a navigation system with media display can be hidden. When the screen is hidden, an analog clock is displayed. Interior features include:

  • Automatic dual-zone front air conditioning
  • Driver and passenger heated seats
  • Leather dashboard
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel with aluminum accents
  • Available leather headliner

Under the Hood

The Phantom Coupe uses the same 6.8-liter V-12 engine as the Phantom sedan. Coupes ride on an all-aluminum space frame built by hand and checked by computer to ensure accuracy.

Designed for a dynamic driving experience compared to the sedan, the Coupe features stiffer rear shocks, modified spring rates, larger anti-roll bars and tuned steering for quicker response. Mechanical features include:

  • 453-horsepower, 6.8-liter V-12
  • Eight-speed automatic transmission
  • Adaptive suspension
  • Auto-leveling suspension
