Rolls-Royce Drophead information
The Rolls-Royce Drophead is a member of the Phantom family, the Drophead Coupe is an unabashedly huge car. Compared to a Chevy Suburban, it’s just 2 inches shorter, almost as wide, and weighs even more.
But considering how densely packed it is with quality materials and luxury features, it’s almost understandable. In fact, no fewer than 18 cowhides have been used to wrap the cabin in rich leather. The Drophead’s impressive styling is accentuated by rear-hinged, power-closing doors that make getting in and out of the car a breeze.
If you had to choose just one option, we suggest the teak back deck. This canopy cover resembles a yacht’s gleaming wooden deck with its 30 strips of Asian teak held together with black caulking.
Oh yes, under all this glamour, there is a very fine car. Meticulously designed by BMW and Rolls-Royce, the Phantom Drophead Coupe perfectly blends the dynamic virtues of a modern German car with the style and panache expected of a Rolls.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is powered by a 6.7-liter V12 that produces 453 horsepower. If you want to know, the EPA consumption estimates are 4.5 kml in the city and 8 kml on the highway.
This vehicle, while boasting a massive engine that effortlessly backs up the manufacturer’s claim of a 0-100km/h time of 5.7 seconds and a top speed electronically limited to 250km/h, this is a car to be driven carefully.
The starter motor sounds perfect and the V12 starts up. In other versions, the noises of the V12 are used to convey performance potential, but this one is built to be extremely quiet. Only from 5,000 rpm is there a choppy engine note, but even then it’s faint.

If we had to use one word to describe the Rolls-Royce Drophead, it would be Big. That’s the best word to describe it, a vehicle that’s huge in every dimension despite being 9 inches shorter than its sedan comrade. Due to its wide body and huge front end, the vehicle includes an optional split-view front camera that provides a left-right side view of intersections.
Considering its size, the Drophead is definitely happier on the open road, dominating high-speed tracks like a highway liner. The ride is smooth but not floaty, soaking up broken pavement with nothing more than silent bumps, and the open-roof structure feels impressively stiff.
You could probably walk over a landmine without even realizing it. Unlike other convertibles – especially the big ones – there is no body flex or unseemly squeaks, perpetuating this icon’s sense of spectacular and indestructible quality.
