Coupe Overview:
Rolls-Royce Phantom (Coupe). With 720 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. At around 2590 kg, it’s on the heavier side. Rear‑wheel drive offers dynamic handling and sporty feedback.

Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe was not subjected to Euro NCAP crash testing due to its low production volume and high-end luxury segment, a common practice for such exclusive vehicles. However, it features robust construction and advanced safety systems for its era.
