Default Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupé

Surprise, surprise. The car that Rolls had said would never enter production did. But surprisingly, it's a very similar car to the 100EX concept some time ago. That means it will retain...

-The chrome hood
-The teak decking
-The suicide doors
-The LED headlights

In fact pretty much the only thing that didn't make production was the V16...and the hood probably wasn't milled from solid aluminum like the concept's

$350,000
V12 6.8L
0-60 in 5.5sec
pretty quick, but even with all that power...it's limited to 130mph.



Also surprising is just how vulgar it is. It's so nasty yet so pretty at the same time.

Like TG said, this car will never be made so expect production to begin in 2 years

That's why it's a "drophead" coupé. Like in "couper la tête" kind of thing.
