The 2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is the second Rolls-Royce model developed by BMW since it acquired the rights to the brand name in 2003. BMW's goal is to rejuvenate both the products and the image of the venerable British automaker. The first model, the Phantom four-door sedan, has often been criticized for its sheer size and controversial---many say cartoonish---styling. The two-door convertible, or "drophead" in Brit-speak, combines a sleeker nose with a nearly 10-inch shorter wheelbase to come off as sophisticated yet fashionable. Within the Rolls-Royce framework it is sporty, but certainly no sports car. It's a boulevard cruiser of formidable size and distinctive styling---especially with the optional brushed-stainless hood and teak rear deck---that draws stares and has the presence that one expects in a Rolls-Royce. The 2008 Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupe shares the V12 engine and six-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission with its four-door sibling. Power delivery is smooth and comes on almost from idle as 75 percent of the engine's power is on tap at 1000 rpm. Rolls-Royce claims the Drophead can scoot from 0 to 60 mph in less than six seconds and has a top speed that is electronically limited to 149 mph. 6.75-liter V12 453 horsepower @ 5350 rpm 531 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3500 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 11/18 All vehicles are sold As-Is with no representation of a warranty.
