2015 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe Review - Edmunds.com

Introduction It's possible that a 2015 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe shopper won't really care what we here at Edmunds. But for the prospective buyers out there who are actually careful shoppers, we will henceforth offer our best opinion on Rolls-Royce's most extravagant two-door. In actuality, we don't find everything to be roses for the Phantom Coupe. Rolls-Royce says the Phantom Coupe needs 5. 6 seconds to reach 60 mph, trailing such luminaries as the Hyundai Genesis Coupe (5. 3 seconds), which costs about as much as a couple Starlight headliners from the Roller's options list. More to the point, the Phantom Coupe's far cheaper sibling, the 2015 Rolls-Royce Wraith will do the trick in 4. 4 seconds with its twin-turbocharged V12. So, you don't buy a Phantom Coupe for its straight-line performance. Despite the promise of "sporty maneuverability" in the car's brochure, the truth is that it's just too massive to get frisky on twisty roads. But if you're just looking for the ultimate two-door cruiser, the car's credentials are second to none. Within its unique rear-hinged doors, a wondrous hand-assembled world of wood, leather and deep-pile carpet awaits, while modern conveniences like an 8. 8-inch widescreen infotainment display.
