2008 Geneva Auto Show Preview: Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe

    0 Ratings
    GENEVA — Rolls-Royce will unveil the latest addition to its Phantom range, a fixed-roof two-door dubbed the Phantom Coupe. It goes into production this summer and will be priced from about $400,000.

    The Phantom Coupe will be a bit sportier than the convertible Drophead Coupe, with a slightly stiffer suspension and a "sport" setting for the automatic transmission.

    The four-passenger coupe will be "more dynamic" than the convertible according to Rolls boss Ian Robertson, who describes the new model as a "transcontinental tourer."

    Power will come from the same 453-horsepower 6.75-liter V12 that propels the rest of the Phantom range.

    For romantics and astronomy buffs, the Phantom Coupe will come with a "starry night" headliner studded with dozens of tiny LEDs that light up after dark.

    What this means to you: The 101EX concept continues to influence design direction at BMW's ultra-premium marque. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
