2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is a convertible version of the Phantom VI sedan. In 2008, a new coupe version of the Phantom also debuted.
Features include a rear trunk gate that flips down for what Rolls-Royce calls "picnic" seating — the world's priciest tailgate party, perhaps? — and a camera mounted up front for better parking visibility.
New for 2009
There are no significant changes.
Exterior
Iconic Rolls-Royce elements include a descending beltline (in contrast to most convertibles, whose lines typically ascend toward the tail), as well as a short front and an enormous rear overhang.
Up front, the grille and hood have a softer profile than that of the hard-nosed Phantom sedan. The doors are hinged at the rear, which is sure to make for a show every time they're opened. Exterior dimensions — at 220.8 inches long and 78.2 inches wide — are about the same as the Phantom sedan.
- 21-inch alloy wheels
- Chrome-tipped exhaust
- Electrically heated front windshield
- Headlight washers
- Auto-leveling headlamps
The four-seat interior comes drenched in wood, leather and chrome. Rolls-Royce says it avoided bleaches, stains and lacquers in favor of natural surfaces. Even the convertible roof housing can be adorned with more than 30 pieces of teakwood.
The seats boast flat leather surfaces designed to be wiped free of moisture.
