Rare 2-door Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé Spotted Behind A Car Carrier Trailer In Nigeria
Rare 2-door Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé spotted behind a car carrier trailer in Nigeria.
The Phantom Drophead Coupé is a 2-door convertible version of the 4-door Rolls-Royce Phantom 7 ultra-luxury sedan.
First unveiled at the 2007 North American International Auto Show, its exterior resembles that of the 100EX concept car.
At the time the last examples were made in 2017, the Drophead Coupe was the most expensive Rolls-Royce in the brand’s history
A rare Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé was recently spotted behind a car carrier trailer by eagle-eyed car enthusiast, Car Continent, while likely enroute for delivery somewhere in Nigeria.
First unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2007, the 2-door Phantom Drophead Coupé was based on the 4-door 2003 Rolls-Royce Phantom 7 ultra-luxury sedan.
The exterior of the convertible resembles that of the 100EX, a concept car shown to celebrate the company’s centennial in 2004. At the time of reveal, the then Rolls-Royce Chief Executive, Ian Robertson, said :
“The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé marks the next chapter in our history.
“While the saloon continues as the brand flagship, the Drophead leads us in a more informal direction, attracting new buyers to the marque. In the coming years other new models will strengthen the company still further.”
Rolls-Royce presented the new Drophead Coupe Series 2 at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show before the luxury grand tourer and successor to the Rolls-Royce Dawn was discontinued in 2016.
Around the time Rolls-Royce made the very last Drophead Coupe “Last of Last Edition” in 2017, the Drophead Coupe was the most expensive Rolls-Royce in the brand’s history.
Powering the Phantom Drophead Coupe is Rolls-Royce silky smooth 6.75-liter naturally-aspirated V12 with 453 hp, allowing the luxury grand tourer to hit 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and then head on up to 149mph.
