Rolls-Royce DropheadRolls-Royce Drophead

£322,068

Can you carry this off? Winning the Lottery isn’t enough – you need a freakish level of assured unflappability to pilot what is basically a yacht, complete with decking.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is a unique way to travel, perhaps more like a beautifully built water craft than a car.

Rolls-Royce Ghost

£193,875

This is supposed to be a smaller, sportier, more usable Rolls, but the only way this Ghost qualifies as ‘small' is in comparison to the ermine and aluminium freight train that is the Phantom

It's the Ghost's sense of self - the utter confidence of character that allows it to use BMW bits and still produce undeniably a Rolls - that makes it such a success.

£303,268

A Rolls-Royce with sporting pretentions? Dash and blast it, what the bally Moses do those cads think they're doing? If it wasn't so dashed fantastic I'd take my stick to them.
The most exclusive, awe-inspiring coupe ever? The Phantom Coupe is right up there

Comfort

Masses of the stuff. Even though this is the so-called performance car of the Rolls-Royce range, it’s still more comfortable than your own personal cloud. If you’re looking to splash out – and hell, you’re buying a Phantom Coupe, so you’d better be – go for the optional ‘Starlight’ headlining: 1600 lovely little twinkling lights on the ceiling. Ahhh.

Handling

The Rolls Coupe handles. Really, it does. We understand why you’re sceptical – it is slightly longer and wider than Dorset after all – but the steering and ride have been firmed up and there’s even a ‘sport’ button. A sport button! In a Rolls! We’d actually be angry if it wasn’t so damn good.

Practicality

Practical in the way that having a personal, highly-paid assassin is practical.
