Inspired by the J-class racing yachts of the 1930s, Phantom Drophead Coupé has epitomised the pinnacle of romantic motoring since its introduction. Now, as they take their final bows, Phantom Drophead Coupés in the Phantom Zenith Collection have become some of the finest and rarest Rolls-Royce cars ever made.
Drophead Coupe
Born to be Bespoke
“Imagine a Phantom Drophead Coupé that’s entirely unique, commissioned to meet your wishes. Specify the colour of the soft-top. Bring out its sociable nature with a hidden refrigerator beneath the teak floor of the picnic boot, or a set of monogrammed glasses, held elegantly in place in personalised holders. Bespoke is the ultimate luxury.”
“Sixty pairs of highly skilled hands. That’s the level of artisanship that goes into building every Phantom Drophead Coupé at the Home of Rolls-Royce. Each detail matters – the five coats of paint on the bodyshell, the bookmatched veneers and the hand-stitched leatherwork. Perfection is our benchmark.”
“The overall appearance of Phantom Drophead Coupé has been designed to give the impression of an elegant motorboat at speed. Offering teak decking and a high waistline that tapers back like a boat-tail. With just the touch of a button, the convertible roof lowers, allowing you to embrace the elements.”
“The nautical theme continues inside the cabin. Features are handcrafted in the finest natural materials: leather seats, teak veneers and a luxurious cashmere-blend hood. Protecting you from adverse weather conditions, the 5-layer soft-top provides excellent sound-proofing and opens in just 25 seconds.”
Business
Sociable by nature, Phantom Drophead Coupé craves long days out and weekends away. With three flute seats in both front and rear, all four passengers can relax in complete comfort. It takes over two weeks and nine hides to complete the hand-stitched leatherwork for each interior. All of which you can customise.
Power
“An optional brushed stainless steel finish on the bonnet, grille and A-frame surround adds to the presence of Phantom Drophead Coupé. And the stunning teak decking further enhances the nautical theme. Handcrafted from the finest teak, it creates the elegant tonneau cover for the soft-top when it’s lowered. The exquisite Maharaja Peacock Phantom Drophead Coupé features peacock marquetry and elegant boxwood yacht lines, set into the decking. Anything’s possible when you commission your Rolls-Royce.”
Design
“Powered by the same 6.75-litre V12 engine as Phantom but with a shorter wheelbase, Phantom Drophead Coupé exudes sporting spirit. With a low centre of gravity and slightly rear-biased weight, the drive is as breath-taking as it looks.”
“It takes seven days and five coats of paint and high-gloss clear lacquer to create a flawless, mirror-like finish on a Rolls-Royce motor car. Then the bodyshell is meticulously polished by hand for over five hours. Attention to detail – it’s what we’re famed for.”
The more informal character of Phantom Drophead Coupé is instantly visible. A dynamic rising profile, with its high waistline tapering back, builds on the tradition of waftability – the sense that it has the power to whisk its passengers away. Swiftly.
“Both the aluminium spaceframe and suspension have been re-engineered specifically for Phantom Drophead Coupé. Enhancing convertible driving dynamics and ensuring exceptional roll-over protection. With ‘pop-up’ devices activated within 0.3 seconds, you can drive with complete confidence.”
