  • The Phantom you can see and touch

    Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has launched the new Phantom Coupe in Singapore. It's a two-door, four-seater that gets to a hundred faster than a Golf GTI, while the passenger lounges in the back with some champagne. There are only two in Singapore at the moment and it costs a grand S$1.58 million - something more of an apparition to most of us than the car itself.


    Here's what Rolls-Royce had to say about their marvelous vehicle:

    Rolls-Royce Motor Cars(Headquarters: Goodwood, West Sussex, United Kingdom)unveiled today its new, two-door, four-seat, Phantom Coupé in Singapore. Production of the new car has already started at Goodwood.

    The Coupé, the fourth new model from Rolls-Royce under BMW Group ownership, is the most driver-oriented model in the Phantom line-up, in the context of Roll-Royce luxury values. This two-door, four-seater model has already seen outstanding demand with this year's production already sold.

    A modern grand touring coupé in the finest tradition, this car is powered by the Phantom's 6.75-litre V12 engine, producing 460hp and 720Nm of torque making it the definitive choice for all-day, long distance driving. With its engine tuned for immense low down torque, the new Rolls-Royce effortlessly achieves the 0-100 km/h sprint in 5.8 seconds, and continues rapidly towards an electronically governed top speed of 250km/h.

    A combination of segment-leading fuel economy and a 25 percent increase in fuel capacity, compared to the Drophead Coupé, increases driving range to more than 600 kilometres. A spacious picnic boot with split tail compartment gives easy access to 395 litres of space or four sets of golf bags. The lower part of the tailgate provides a comfortable seating platform for two adults when lowered.

    The highly advanced spaceframe aluminium chassis endows the Coupé with the marque's legendary ride comfort, handling and safety. It is the most torsionally rigid Rolls-Royce ever built. The unique architecture of the car is further augmented by the rear-hinged coach doors, allowing the easiest possible access to the rear lounge seat.

    To ensure a perfect balance of refinement and driver involvement, Rolls-Royce developed a new gearbox programme, stiffer rear dampers and modified spring rates. In addition, a thicker rear anti-roll bar, modified brake response and tuned steering offer more feel over other Phantom models. As with every Rolls-Royce car, the finely hand-crafted interior of the Coupé can be personalised via the Bespoke programme, allowing for any number of features, each tailored to the taste of the individual. For example, customers can choose from more than 44,000 different colours.

    The Phantom Coupé's cabin can be ordered with an optional, full-length starlight headlining, incorporating 1,600 tiny fibre optics to create the ambience of a star-filled night sky. The new model is also available with a brushed steel bonnet and A-pillar surround previously seen on its experimental predecessor, the 101EX.

    The Phantom Coupé was unveiled in Singapore by Dealer Principal Mr Karsono Kwee, Executive Chairman of the Eurokars Group of Companies and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Regional Director for the Asia Pacific, Mr Colin Kelly.

    "The Phantom Coupé follows the tremendous response worldwide to '101EX', the 2006 experimental car. Currently, the Coupé has seen outstanding demand with two thirds of the pre-orders placed by customers who are new to the brand. This indicates that the new model is broadening Rolls-Royce brand appeal to customers. The order bank for the car already stretches well into 2009," said Mr Kelly.

    Rolls-Royce Motor Cars saw sales in 2007 increase by 25 per cent, compared to 2006, with retails of 1010 cars.
