  • Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe Nighthawk is Here

    Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe undoubtedly conveys a mixture of class, good look and grace. Being one of the finest cars to move around the streets now it has become even more phenomenal and provocative thanks to the limited-edition Phantom Drophead Coupe Nighthawk. This model is built as a part of the collection of 9 vehicles, each of which offers definite uniqueness.

    All cars from the Phantom line are equipped with adaptive LED headlights, Diamond Black Metallic paint, Matt Diamond Black bonnet and a windscreen surround. The already known 6.75-liter V12 engine with 453 HP (338 kW) and 719 Nm (531 lb-ft) of maximum torque resides under the hood. This is enough to sprint the amazing vehicle from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 5.6 seconds, reaching a top speed of 150 mph (241 km/h).

    Rolls-Royce Nighthawk is perfect for people who find the standard Phantom Drophead Coupe not as satisfying as they expect it to be. Limited to just nine cars, the new special edition is an example of what truly stunning Rolls-Royce should look like. Accentuated by carbon fiber treatment on the door panels, dashboard and the steering wheel spokes, the Nighthawk creates a vision of supremacy. The two-tone theme of the cabin features Hotspur Red and black leather and carbon instrument dials.

    Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe Nighthawk is going to be sold in North America exclusively.

  • Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe Bespoke Waterspeed Collection Sketch

    Rolls-Royve-Phantom-Waterspeed-Collection-shadowRolls-Royve-Phantom-Waterspeed-Collection-mediumConsider this a teaser. It’s a sketch released by Rolls-Royce, previewing their soon-to-hit-the-market Bespoke Waterspeed Collection. That is, 35 Phantom Drophead Coupe’s celebrating a landmark in Rolls-Royce’s history.

    On the morning of 1 September 1937, Sir Malcom Campbell was preparing to take on Lake Maggiore (Swiss-Italian border). His goal: a new speed world record on water. He was to man the Bluebird K3 hydroplane, powered by a Rolls-Royce R-Type engine. An audacious speed of 126.32 mph was reached on the first run. The following day he went one better, piloting his craft to 129.5 mph, in doing so emphatically breaking the United States’ five-year stranglehold on the world waterspeed record.

    So today, Rolls-Royce are looking forward to commemorate that spirit of innovation and cutting-edge technology. What we know for sure so far is that the Warterspeed Collection will showcase the finest contemporary materials “never used before on a Rolls-Royce furnish”. The cars should be a visual triumphant combination of brushed steel, wood inlays and the color Maggiore Blue.

    Further details will be available in the coming months with more insight into the production process.
