Phantom Drophead Coupe - Car and Driver
” But drive a new Phantom drophead coupe and the wisecracks will, ahem, drop right out of your head. But I will say the Phantom goes faster than the stink of how rich you’d have to get to buy one. It handles with the educated precision of the Nobel Prize–winning physicist that you’d have to be to repair it. And, thanks to brake discs the size of precious and irreplaceable Edith Piaf original vinyl LPs (14. 7 inches in front, 14. 6 in back),... Combine the Phantom drophead coupe’s cardinal performance virtues with a 0. 37 coefficient of drag (better than an E-type’s) and a six-speed automatic (two more gears than I can usually find when I’m trying to drive fast), and you get a car that... And you probably could win Le Mans, at least back in the day, before Gurney and Foyt and their Ford GT40 got into the act (and assuming Gurney and Foyt were driving your Rolls). What’s shocking is not the enormity of the price or the enormity of the speed but the enormity of the enormity. A Phantom drophead coupe is almost as long and wide as a GMC Yukon.
