The Drophead Coupe, introduced in 2007, arrived as the roofless variant of Rolls-Royce’s iconic Phantom series. For many, the convertible flagship defined a mountaintop achievement, signaling the company’s capability under new ownership. No-expense-spared development rendered a successor worthy to assume the model’s heritage namesake. Inspired by 1930s J-class racing yachts, the open-top Phantom’s design boasted a stainless steel bonnet and ornate rear tonneau decking. This timeless design language embodied the marque’s classic aesthetic made new for the modern era.
.
Engineered with a focus on elegance and performance, all Phantoms featured a 6.75-liter V12 engine, delivering 453 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, and an eight-speed shiftable automatic transmission. The car's aluminum space frame construction ensured strength while minimizing weight, contributing to its refined driving dynamics. Advanced features when new included a 15-speaker Lexicon audio system, navigation, and near limitless choice in bespoke factory customization.
