Engine & Performance
As previously mentioned, the 2013 Bespoke Chicane Phantom comes with the same drivetrain available in the Rolls Royce Phantom coupe.
It has a 6.75 liter, V12 that is capable of generating 453 horsepower. It will accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds which is just short of incredible for a car of this size. The top speed of the Coupe is 155 mph.
The engine is mated with an 8 speed automatic transmission. Fuel consumption is generous.
Exterior
The improvements on the looks begins with the exterior color. The two tone matte black and gun metal finish seems to reflect the sun’s rays. The alloy wheels match the cars finish as a simple, yet exquisite touch.
The two doors are rear hinged swinging from the front to back to enter and exit the equally luxurious interior.
Interior
Inside you find the finest (and brightest) in red leather upholstery.
The prestigious double R logo is “emblazoned” in the center of the steering wheel and on the front and rear headrests. The dashboard is short and flat, laid out in traditional “Rolls” style as a wall of control knobs, switches and buttons to tend to the driver and passengers every need.
It is trimmed with carbon fiber and piano black accents. They have installed special sill plates announcing the uniqueness of the model and a commemorative plaque with the layout at Goodwood.
