ENGINEERING
On the core of the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe is a sophisticated, all-aluminium spaceframe, first seen within the Phantom. It supplies an distinctive base for the automobile, providing nice energy, a really excessive diploma of torsional rigidity and low weight, all of which benefit dynamics. Manufactured to within a tolerance of just 0.1 mm / 0.004 in, each spaceframe is constructed by hand after which checked by laptop to ensure complete accuracy. The physique's construction, comprised of box sections of aluminium, is painstakingly hand-welded by a crew of experts. Every morning, every member of the group performs a 300 mm test weld to ascertain atmospheric effects on the metal with which they're working so that these might be taken into account. In all, more than a hundred thirty metres of weld are used to create the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe's spaceframe.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé's light-weight and rigid structure, probably the most torsionally stiff in the Phantom line, offers the foundation for its glorious dynamic skills, nevertheless it additionally gives security benefits. The box sections are exceptionally strong and offer greater dispersion of power within the event of a collision. Frontal impacts are absorbed by crumple zones that direct the power into Y-formed chassis members and the primary understructure, the strongest a part of the chassis. Side affect intrusion is minimised by the double-skinned flooring development, facet sills and integral side affect bars in every door.
The inherent security of the spaceframe is enhanced by different safety methods controlled by ISIS (Clever Safety and Info System). This takes readings from sensors situated throughout the automobile and, in the event of an impression, makes up to 4000 calculations a second to ascertain its severity, deploying safety programs as necessary.

The powertrain develops 453 bhp / 338 kW of power at 5350 rpm and 720 Nm / 531 lb ft of torque at 3500 rpm - ample for even essentially the most enthusiastic of drivers. At 100 mph (the place permissible), the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe's energy reserve dial exhibits that 90 per cent of the engine's energy stays untapped.
DRIVING
The objective of the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé engineering staff was to create a driving experience that was completely true to Rolls-Royce, but noticeably more dynamic. The resulting steadiness of agility and refinement, nevertheless, surprised even those closest to the project.
Smoothness of journey continues to be distinctive, yet has been made slightly firmer by the introduction of stiffer rear dampers and modified spring rates. Physique roll is decreased by fitting a thicker rear anti-roll bar and the steering has been tuned to supply more feel - a sensation enhanced by a barely thicker, hand-stitched leather steering wheel.
The suspension and chassis tune imply that the facility is put down on the highway incredibly effectively. Excellent grip signifies that the dynamic stability management (DSC) is less more likely to be activated below enthusiastic cornering, making it feel more balanced when pushing on.
A sport button on the steering wheel prompts a brand new gearbox programme. Each gear is held for longer, growing the speed of acceleration. Kick-down is also faster and accelerator pedal response has been enhanced.
Collectively these individual adjustments to the automotive's set-up give a considerably extra dynamic really feel than the Phantom and Phantom Drophead Coupé. Together with the easy power that is all the time on tap, the brand new state of tune makes driving the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé not solely pleasurable but also exhilarating. With a limited prime velocity of a hundred and fifty five mph / 250 km/h, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe accelerates from 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe's wheelbase is 250 mm shorter than that of the Phantom, giving higher agility. Its forty nine:51 weight ratio ensures that it stays superbly balanced through corners, whereas the slight rear weight bias maximises straight-line acceleration and traction. Self-levelling air suspension continuously adjusts to driving circumstances, enabling drivers to position the car accurately through bends. The steering has modified Servotronic assistance to provide elevated road feel.
The intense rigidity of the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe's chassis offers magnificent control and precision. The front double-wishbone suspension incorporates a hydraulic mount to minimise vibrations through the steering wheel, while multi-link rear suspension gives elevated trip comfort, with anti-elevate and anti-dive expertise for stability under heavy acceleration and braking. This combines with the stronger rear anti-roll bar and stiffer spring and damper settings to increase each accuracy and agility.
As standard, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé has 21-inch Goodyear tyres with run-flat functionality, sitting on seven-spoke aluminium or two completely different styles of cast aluminium rims. In the unlucky event of a flat tyre, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe can run for a minimum of a hundred miles / one hundred sixty km at speeds of up to 50 mph / 80 km/h before the tyre needs to be replaced. As well as being handy, this run-flat expertise negates the necessity for spare wheels and a jack, liberating up house within the baggage compartment. The Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe's a hundred-litre gasoline tank allows for the longer drives that its character encourages, giving a spread of around four hundred miles / 630 km.
Braking is provided by massive 374 mm / 14.7 in ventilated disc brakes on the front and 370 mm / 14.6 in at the rear. Twin piston alloy calipers on the front and single piston calipers at the rear be sure that the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe is brought to a stop rapidly and with out drama. Naturally, the braking system incorporates the most recent in anti-lock techniques and Emergency Brake Help is activated under heavy braking, making use of full drive in an emergency stop.
