Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is the production version of the Rolls-Royce 100EX Centenary concept car of 2004. The 2008 Phantom Drophead Coupe will go on show at the 2007 Detroit Motor Show with few visual differences to the initial concept car. Although the V16 from the 100EX has been swapped in favour of the more conventional 6.75 litre V12.
Ample power is supplied by a 6.75-litre, naturally aspirated, V12 engine. Developing 453 bhp / 338 kW and 720 Nm / 531 lb ft of torque at 3500 rpm, delivery is smooth and abundant. Furthermore, with 75 per cent of engine power available at just 1000 rpm, progress from a standstill is easy and remains so throughout the rev range. The highly effcient unit uses direct injection and variable valve timing. The engine is mated to a six-speed ZF automatic shift-by-wire gearbox.
