Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe 2008

This Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is a sumptuous and refined convertible grand tourer, finished in a smart and reportedly rare colour combination. Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.75-litre V12, delivering 454bhp and 531lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. This Phantom Drophead Coupe has covered a staggering 3,849 miles from new. Considered by many to be the most elegant and desirable model in the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII range, the Phantom Drophead Coupe added a touch of open-air sophistication to the marque’s already exceptional flagship. Like the marque’s 2004 100EX concept car, which it is styled after, the production cars use novel rearward-opening coach doors along with a yacht-like exterior design theme. Moreover, while Rolls-Royces have traditionally been known as cars wherein the owner is driven, this variant is undoubtedly one the owner will want to experience from behind the wheel—helping spark a modern renaissance for driver-focused automobiles bearing the Spirit of Ecstasy. A hand-assembled, silky smooth 454-horsepower, 6.75-liter V-12 and six-speed automatic transmission work in tandem to provide seamless acceleration; 60 mph comes in a brisk 5.7 seconds. The seventh model-generation in the history of the legendary British super-luxury brand to carry the flagship Phantom name, it takes Rolls-Royce technicians more than 260 hours to build a Phantom—not counting any bespoke features. Accordingly, just 261 Phantom Drophead Coupes were produced for the 2008 model year, one fine example of which is offered here. This Phantom Drophead Coupe wears a stunning two-tone Black Diamond Metallic and brushed stainless steel exterior which pairs handsomely with its crème interior, complete with extensive Piano Black trim. Finished with black carpeting and contrasting overmats, the cabin is concealed by a low-slung black cloth power convertible top with optional teak decking cover. Brushed stainless steel A-pillars complete the car’s attractive silhouette. The sleek and modern appeal of this 18-foot-long luxury cruiser truly drives home the nautical design inspiration. Each gauge and headrest is emblazoned with the distinctive “RR” logo, never letting any occupant forget the prestige and craftsmanship inherent to this finely-finished automobile.
