2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe

The Phantom Coupe is the production version of the EX101 concept Rolls-Royce unveiled at the 2006 Geneva show. While it's closely related to the extravagant softtop Phantom Drophead Coupe, the first new two-door hardtop Rolls since the 1975 Pininfarina-designed Carmargue is being pitched as the driver's Rolls. Both the Drophead and the Coupe are powered by the same 453-horse 6.75-liter V-12 as used in the Phantom sedan. And Rolls-Royce claims the Coupe's 0-60-mph sprint will take 5.6 seconds-exactly the same as the Drophead. Phantom Coupe does get a pair of rectangular exhaust outlets peeking out from under the rear bumper. There are also three different 21-inch wheels available, two of which are made from forged alloy. That's about as overtly sporty as things get.
