The Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is ideal for sporting and social occasions with a versatile boot providing a comfortable picnic seat for two adults as well as space for a hamper.  A striking teak deck (reminiscent of a classic boat deck) hides the hood when it is lowered. This is hand-made from 30 pieces of beautifully grained wood. Even when the hood is lowered, there is still plenty of space for weekend cases or a set of golf clubs in the luggage compartment.

Like the Phantom saloon, the Phantom Drophead Coupé is built on a hand-welded aluminium spaceframe that has been adapted to the needs of open-top motoring. The A-pillar and windscreen surround have been designed for optimum strength.

Ample power is supplied by a 6.75-litre, naturally aspirated, V12 engine. Developing 453 bhp / 338 kW and 720 Nm / 531 lb ft of torque at 3500 rpm, delivery is smooth and abundant. Furthermore, with 75 per cent of engine power available at just 1000 rpm, progress from a standstill is easy and remains so throughout the rev range. The highly effcient unit uses direct injection and variable valve timing.
