Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe

Product Overview
Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is a full-size luxury convertible in production from 2007 to 2016. It was powered by BMW's N73B68 naturally-aspirated V12 engine that displaced 6.75 liters. Earlier models used ZF 6HP 6-speed automatic transmission; this unit was updated to the 8-speed ZF 8HP.
The largest convertible made in almost half a century, the Phantom Drophead Coupe is an exceptional statement. Its level of refinement and fit and finish are unrivalled. While Rolls-Royce used some new materials, the car is very heavy and stately. Hence, even the large V12 is insufficient for spirited driving in this vehicle.
While the 14.8L/100km (15.9mpg) fuel "dis-economy" is hardly excellent, it is quite acceptable considering the luxury that this car offers.

Reviewer score 86% (normalized by Neofiliac)At 5609mm long it's absolutely enormous and parking it requires astute use of both parking camera and beeping parking radars. Despite its aluminium spaceframe construction, the Drophead weighs in at a portly 2620kg. On the road it handles with an agility and nimbleness that's at odds with its girth. And the brakes – ventilated 374mm front and 370mm rear rotors – are simply superb.
Pros
- Fantastic build quality
- Punchy engine
- Impressive handling
Cons
- No wind deflector
