2014 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe Review

    Even if Rolls-Royce isn't an independent brand or has 100% bespoke cars anymore, it is still definitely the defining luxury brand. When you think "multi-millionaire businessman," you think Rolls-Royce. When you hear the words "classic British cars," you think of Rolls-Royce. Sure, Bentleys may be faster and more innovative, and the new S-Class looks, drives, and feels incredible, but neither can match Rolls-Royce's status of "the best luxury car*." And Rolls-Royce keeps improving its name by updating and adding new technology to its cars. Lately, they've face-lifted the Ghost by giving it new LED headlights and some other tech-related updates. They have also created the Wraith, a sporty two-door version of the Ghost, and it is the fastest, most powerful Roll-Royce ever to leave the single assembly building in Goodwood, England. 
    But their flagship is, and always will be, the incredible Phantom. The Phantom is my #1 favorite car, and was Top Gear's "Car of the Year" for 2003. It comes in four versions, the regular sedan, the extended wheel-base (basically a limousine), the Coupe, and the Drophead Coupe (a convertible version). But the fastest is obviously the Phantom Coupe, and that's thanks to its 6.75 liter naturally-aspirated 453 V12. Thanks to its easily-available 531 pound-feet of torque, 0-60 takes around 5.2 seconds, and to an "adequate" (Rolls-Royce's favorite word to describe performance numbers) top speed of 150 mph. The interior is the Phantom's best selling point, thanks to its traditionally-crafted leather, hand-cut wood, and a $14,000 optional "starlight" headliner with incorporated LED "stars."
