Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé
Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé is a luxury coupe convertible produced by Rolls-Royce.
The car comes with four seats but only two doors which open to the rear (they are termed coach doors by the manufacturer).
The Drophead Coupé comes with an all-aluminium engine and a nearly 50%-50% weight distribution (even if the latter feature will hardly help fast cornering in practice, due to the enormous weight of the car). Driving the car does not need quick gear switches, as 75% of the torque is available as early as at 1000 rpm.
The metallic grey color of the aluminium engine cover is mandatory, the tone of the side panels is up to the buyer's choice. There is only one non two-tone version available, a completely black design.
