Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé 2008

Within the Phantom Coupé range, the 2008 Base version represents the original form of the model. It keeps the 2003 Phantom’s architecture, but reinterprets it as a large two-door coupé rather than a traditional saloon. The main evolution is therefore in the body design, which is more compact in appearance and more elegant in profile, yet still unmistakably Rolls-Royce in presence. Under the bonnet sits a 6.75-litre V12 producing 460 horsepower, enough for a 0 to 100 km/h time of 5.8 seconds. The cabin follows the same continuity, with leather and wood veneer, plus rear coach doors with reverse opening. Production of this single generation continued until 2016, when the Rolls-Royce Wraith succeeded it.

For the 2008 Phantom Coupé, the Base version corresponds to the standard configuration described in the dossier. No more detailed sub-variants are provided, but this basic form retains the model’s essential features: a two-door body, a platform derived from the 2003 Phantom, a 6.75-litre V12, and a cabin finished in leather and wood. It therefore stands out more through the model’s overall concept than through any specific mechanical differences mentioned here. The rear coach doors remain a signature detail, as do the classic proportions and imposing road presence. In Rolls-Royce production history, it has a special place by bringing the luxury coupé back into the brand’s line-up from 2008 onward.
