Although details are at a minimum, photos of the Hamann-modified Phantom and Phantom Drophead Coupe are now available. The German tuner starts by bumping output on the 6.75-liter British classic from 460 to 535 hp, and torque is upped from 531 to 615 pound-feet. Thanks to the removal of the electric speed limiter, both top speeds will be around 187 mph.
Hamann offers a couple new options for wheels, including a sportier blacked-out set with a polished lip as well as a more subtle aluminum multispoke set that blends with the chrome accents and token front grille. The larger 23-inch rims replace the 21-inchers that come standard on the Rolls.
For now the interiors has been left pretty much stock except for a three-spoke sport steering wheel that's available for both cars.
Inside Line says: There's nothing wrong with a little power upgrade, but any exterior upgrade on a Rolls can be questionable. — Mike Lysaght, Correspondent
