Product Overview

Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe is a full-size ultra-luxury coupe in production from 2008 to 2016. It was available with a single N73B68 naturally-aspirated V12 petrol engine that displaced 6.7 liters.

One of the largest modern coupe ever made, the Phantom Coupe was designed for the ultra-rich who are not shy to be the driver of a somewhat ostentatious vehicle. Rolls-Royce offered an exceptionally long list of options: with a low production number, one could say that no two Phantom Coupes are made alike.

Undoubtedly, the most exciting thing about the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe is the V12 engine, which offers a level of smoothness and instant power response that no other engine configuration can compare. The N73B68 is the larger brother of the N73B60 found in the BMW 760i/Li.

With a 14.8L/100km (15.9mpg) fuel "dis-economy", owners have to be prepared to pay for their "smiles-per-mile". Another negative is the large 13.1m (43.0ft) turning circle.

Reviewer score 89% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

There's a wonderfully simple and pared-back feeling to the cabin that almost verges on the spartan. Unlike a Maybach or a Bentley, the cabin is not confusingly shotgunned with a thousand buttons dials and controls. It may have 2590kg to haul around but performance from the 6749cc V12 is never anything but silken, swift and silent.

Pros

Powerful V12 engine
Impressive refinement levels
Comfortable to drive

Cons

Pricier than rivals
