The Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé
Inspired Design.....
The Phantom Drophead Coupé is a less formal interpretation of classic Rolls-Royce design that captures the essence of adventure of the 1930s. Its unique raked grille combined with the flowing lines of the car, gives a sense of spirit and momentum even at rest. Inspired by the J-class racing yachts of 30s (known for their performance and use of natural materials) the result is a car that epitomizes romantic, performance motoring.
"We wanted to create a car that is a shared experience," explains Charles Coldham, Chief Stylist Interior Design. "The occupants are surrounded by the finest natural materials, evoking the experience of being on board a yacht." The coach doors allow elegant entry and exit to and from the rear lounge seat that turns the passengers gently towards each other, creating a more intimate atmosphere. The signature hood is made from five layers of material including cashmere, making it both quiet and luxurious when the top is raised.

Engineering Perfection....
Like the Phantom saloon, the Phantom Drophead Coupé is built on a hand-welded aluminum spaceframe that has been adapted to the needs of open-top motoring. The A-pillar and windscreen surround have been designed for optimum strength and roll-over protection. From the elevated driving position you can enjoy the power of the muscular aluminum V12 engine that offers effortless power and 75% of torque available from 1,000 rpm. With a low centre of gravity and weight distribution slightly to the rear of the car, the Drophead Coupé's drive is as spirited as its looks suggest.
Our customers play as much a part in how Phantom Drophead Coupé looks as we do. Each Drophead Coupé is hand-built to order, so you can choose the finishing touches to make it uniquely yours. It's a simple but inspiring process that starts with your choice of exterior colour, leather upholstery to complement it, veneer, canvas hood and 21 inch wheels.
