Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will unveil its new Phantom Coupe at the 78th International Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday, 4 March 2008. Production of the new car will start at Goodwood in the summer of 2008.

The Coupe is the most driver-orientated model in the Phantom line. A number of subtle but significant modifications have been made that change its character. It is noticeably more dynamic, whilst still offering incredible levels of comfort.

Marrying cutting-edge technology with a beautifully proportioned, muscular body that exudes power and style, it incorporates timeless Rolls-Royce design cues in an utterly contemporary manner.

Designed to cover great distances effortlessly, the Coupe is the perfect choice for a transcontinental trip. Power is provided by the Phantom 6.75-litre V12 that produces 453 bhp, 720 Nm of torque and has segment-leading fuel economy. A 25 per cent increase in fuel capacity, compared to the Drophead Coupe adds significant driving range. Agile, fast, long-legged and virtually silent, the Phantom Coupe allows both driver and passengers to emerge unruffled, even after an all-day run.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Chief Designer, Ian Cameron, said ,Rolls-Royce has always been about pace, performance and style. For the Coupe design we gave the quintessential Rolls-Royce design a dynamic twist. This adds a sense of drama to the outstanding engineering and drivability that are fundamentals of Rolls-Royce cars. The dynamic drive of the Phantom has always come as a surprise to customers and the Coupe takes it one step further.

The Phantom Coupe features rear-hinged coach doors which add considerably to the ease of access to the rear lounge seats as well as to the overall aesthetics. Crucially, they aid the overall stiffness of the body as the rear hinged doors allow for an uninterrupted A-pillar helping to make this the most torsionally rigid Rolls-Royce ever. A brushed steel finish of A-pillar and bonnet, as seen for the first time on 100EX, is also available for the Coupe.

At the rear is a spacious picnic boot. A split tail compartment that opens in two parts, gives easy access to 395 litres of space. The lower tailgate also provides a comfortable seating platform for two adults when lowered.

At the core of the Phantom Coupe is an advanced aluminium chassis, perhaps the single most significant component in delivering the marque legendary refinement. Lightweight and exceptionally strong, it impacts positively on ride comfort, handling and safety. Hand made, it requires over 130 meters of welding to create each body.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Chairman and Chief Executive, Ian Robertson, said, the Coupe has been designed and engineered to be the most dynamic interpretation of our values. Our 2007 sales figures illustrate how successful the entire model range has been with an increase of 25 per cent over the previous year.

"The whole shape is dynamic. It sits low to the ground and has tight proportions." Ian Cameron, Chief Designer.A Powerful PresenceIan CameronThe most driver-orientated model in the Phantom family, the Phantom Coupé is a sleek and seductive combination of classic proportions, powerful presence and breathtaking detailing.

"The driving dynamics of Phantom have always come as a surprise to customers and we wanted to underline that ability visually with a Coupé bodystyle," continues Cameron. "As well as hard engineering changes, the design adds glamour to the outstanding drivability that's inherent in all our cars."

Developed from the 101EX experimental car and inspired by the Phantom II Continental of the 1930s, the Phantom Coupé is a celebration of sporting style and glamour.
A driver-focused approach
From the tyres up, the Coupé is the most driver-focused Phantom ever built. It's based on the same lightweight aluminium spaceframe as the rest of the family and shares the same V12 engine. But with a shorter wheelbase, greater rigidity and new gearbox tuning, it is more agile and dynamic.

The electronics of the gearbox can be adjusted at the touch of a button, making the car feel more responsive to the driver and giving more feedback from the road. All this effortless ability doesn't compromise the comfort and luxury of this modern take on the classic Grand Touring Coupé.
Dynamic exterior, sublime interior
The sporting credentials of the Coupé are evident at first glance - the powerful profile and low-slung carriage give an instant impression of strength. The purposeful look is made more powerful by the 21" alloy wheels and visible exhausts.

Inside you will find a calm interior that makes any journey as rewarding for the passengers as the driver. Featuring high-gloss veneers, wide expanses of soft full-grain leather and chrome fittings, it is a pleasure to be in. The optional Starlight headlining adds a little more magic - an array of 1,600 hand-placed, fibre optic lights create the illusion of a star-filled night.
