2011 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe Review

2011 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe Review
Rolls-Royce's Phantom Coupe is the latest addition to the Phantom lineup, introduced for the 2009 model year. It is a highly customizable, hand-built model with high-end build quality and materials. The Phantom Coupe competes with the Bentley Brooklands.

Driving the 2011 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe through the rain slicked streets of London; I realized this was going to be a rough crossing of the English Channel on our way to Paris, France.
The starlight headliner twinkled above our heads as dawn slowly gained the upper hand.

Arriving on time was critical as we were booked on the earliest crossing with little extra time for getting lost or stuck in traffic. Performance for the 2011 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe comes in the form of a 6.7-litre V12 48-valve engine. Power numbers indicate 453 horsepower at 5,350 rpm and 531 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,500 rpm. Words cannot easily describe the feeling of driving a Phantom Coupe at speed. Traveling from one country to another requires passport approval in both as we leave England and drive over one speed bump to arrive in France.

What follows next is a series of twisting orange pylon bordered lanes worthy of a new vehicle test circuit. The Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe proves nimble once again as we leave the lane to drive onto the train.

Arriving in Calais in the north of France, it is now time to stretch our legs and those of the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe. Taking curves at speed is a graceful exercise in planning ahead, the kilometres flying by as we reach the outskirts of Paris just in time for rush hour.
The drive downtown to our hotel takes nearly as long as the trip in from Calais. Paris is a city of magnificent boulevards surrounded by small two or one-lane streets, some cobblestone. Built in 1860, Hôtel Scribe Paris features 200 rooms and 13 suites decorated with Parisian flare and elegance. Our room is comfortable in size, especially for a European hotel, with a king-sized bed, oversized bathroom and relaxed furnishings.

Fuel mileage is an EPA estimated 11 mpg city and 18 mpg highway. Features include suicide doors, full-grain leather, fine veneer trim, 21-inch alloy wheels, starlight headlining, extended veneer package, navigation system, new 2011 interior/exterior colors and audio integration for iPod.

2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost Review

2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost
Automobiles of Rolls-Royce stature aren’t expected to change capriciously. This smaller sibling to the Phantom has demonstrated genuine Rolls-Royce attributes, this, despite being based on lesser mechanicals

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost is a four-door, five-seat sedan available in a single trim level. Standard feature highlights include 19-inch wheels, an active air suspension, a sunroof, front and rear parking sensors, keyless ignition/entry, auto-dimming mirrors, automatic wipers, automatic xenon headlights, adaptive cruise control, power-closing rear "coach" doors, leather upholstery and trim, a pair of umbrellas stored within the front doors, heated front and rear seats, 10-way power and massaging front seats, four-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth, a navigation system and a 16-speaker sound system with a CD/DVD player, satellite radio, digital music storage, an auxiliary audio jack and an iPod/USB audio interface.

The 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost is powered by a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 that produces 563 hp and 575 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 13 mpg city/20 mpg highway and 15 mpg combined.

The Ghost comes with stability and traction control, antilock brakes, active front head restraints, front-seat side airbags and side curtain airbags. The Driver's Assistance Systems package adds a lane-departure warning system, automatic high beams, a head-up display and a night-vision camera.

Despite the dizzying array of high-tech luxury features, the Ghost presents a relatively clean dash and console. Unlike tradition (and the Phantom), however, the Ghost can be equipped with adjustable, massaging and ventilated outboard rear seats. Considering the Ghost's size, the trunk's 14-cubic-foot capacity is unacceptably modest.

The 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost's twin-turbo V12 is exceptionally smooth and silent.
If the great Rolls-Royce Phantom birthed by BMW in 2003, restored the exceptionality of the mark, the Holy 2011 brings this concept to a more human scale. The Ghost truncates one of the great names of past Rolls-Royce, the Silver Ghost, a name that joins the full range of classic 40/50, reliable and smoothed produced from 1906 to 1926. These are cars that prompted the coach to call and Rolls-Royce the best car in the world. ” The Ghost will bring this legacy to carry on the category of luxury sedans, the hierarchy reorganization segment dominated by the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, Mercedes S Class and BMW 7 Series. Because Rolls is now under the leadership of BMW, and because using common parts is essential for saving a manufacturer of scale (but mostly because Rolls-Royce admitted that shares Ghost 20 per cent oneself with the BMW 7 Series, more specifically, the V-12-powered 760Li), it is tempting to think that the new car is a BMW just migrated a 9-series with a metal cover available. The Rolls require sitting most majestic, larger diameter tires, and the coach-style doors, which required more changes. The diameter tires New global mean new director and kinematics of the suspension, and raised seating position and a center-opening doors meant platform reengineering donors for crash safety.

Chief Designer Ian Cameron has delivered a form that is instantly recognizable as a Rolls-Royce, although the car was not the Parthenon traditional grille type. Its most smooth chrome radiator vaned property complies with trimmer proportions compared to the Phantom of the car. In the mainland by a tremendously powerful position, the Ghost has fast-pillars and rake body that borders around the wheels. Inside are the Rolls Royce traditional touches, like frosted white dials, chrome Eyeball vents, organ-stop Wind draw and the violin-key switches. (Leather is not as sweet as the Phantom, because of different tanning process that focuses on sustainability in flexibility.) Entry and exit are still better than most big car with rear doors that open to 83 degrees (there’s even umbrellas in the front doors).

BMW is an amazing interpreter of English cars. BMW has Rolls-Royce need to have a worrying combination of silence and speed. The Phantom has he done this phantom, though in a slightly different. Considering that the Phantom glides (RR-called “float”) on the road, the Holy door behind her. The car slinks away in a crescendo develops constantly growing.
The Ghost and pampers isolates, but it also flies.
