TheRolls-Royce Phantom Coupé is a luxury car manufactured byRolls-Royce Motor Cars that debuted at the2008 Geneva International Motor Show inGeneva, Switzerland, on 6 March 2008.[2] The platform is based on the 2003Rolls-Royce Phantom and has styling heavily derived from theRolls-Royce 100EX, aconcept car unveiled to celebrate the company's centennial in 2004.[3]Its interior includes leather and wood veneer. There is a button to close the "coach doors" (suicide doors).The Phantom Coupe has the same 6.75-litre (412 cu in) V12 as found in the other Phantom models, developing 338 kW (453 bhp; 460 PS) of power and 720 N⋅m (530 lb⋅ft) of torque.[4] It is the first Rolls-Royce coupe in 22 years. It featured pillarless body construction making it a true 2-doorhardtop, much like the popular hardtops from the United States in the 1960s.

The Phantom Coupé has nearly 542 N⋅m (400 lb⋅ft) of torque, or 75 percent, available at 1,000 rpm—and has segment-leading fuel economy[citation needed] thanks to technology such as direct injection and variable valve and camshaft control.[5] The car features reverse-opening power-closing doors,adaptive suspension with automatic four-corner levelling, 21-inch alloy wheels, a 15-speaker 420 watt sound system with navigation, and a handcrafted interior with flawless leather trim and a choice of wood veneers. The "picnic" boot provides a seating platform for two and offers easy access to theluggage compartment. Optional equipment includes front and rear parking cameras and a wide array of paint colours and interior trim material choices. A unique option is a full-length "starlight" headliner, which incorporates hundreds of tinyfibre optics to give the impression of a star-filled night sky.[6]
The Phantom Coupé is capable of accelerating from 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 5.8 seconds and has a limited top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h), with afuel consumption in combined cycle (ECE+EUDC) of 16 L/100 km (18 mpg‑imp; 15 mpg‑US) while producing 377 g/km of CO2.[7]
The Phantom Coupé has received mostly positive reviews from critics. The British television showTop Gear rated the car 9/10 for performance, 10/10 for quality, 9/10 for design, but criticised its high cost.[8]
TheRolls-Royce Sweptail was a one-off custom Phantom Coupé sold in 2017 for $12.8 million after a 4-year build[9] making it the most expensive new car ever sold at the contemporary period.[10]
