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.

Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:
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.
