The Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe goes on sale officially in the Middle East today, a place where all the oil-rich need something new as an outlet to spend their money anyway. Rolls-Royce probably hopes its this new Phantom Coupe.
The Phantom Coupe is a two-door coupe built on an aluminium chassis which helps reduce weight a little, helping the 6.75 litre V12 engine with 453hp and 720Nm of torque move the car a little faster.
Unlike the Phantom Drophead Coupe that allows you to drive the top down to watch the clear starry night, owners of the Phantom Coupe has to make do with a funky “starlight headliner” which illuminates the ceiling of the car with more than 1,600 fiber optics to give the impression of a star-filled sky.
You can have a look at this starlight headliner after the jump.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé,
I think better call it like this.
Doesn’t really tickle my car senses, but I’m sure if I have a couple hundred million stashed somewhere I’d buy one too.
Just one word.
Class.
If I were damned rich, I’d also buy this car. Har har har…
twinkle, twinkle, little star
how I wonder what you are?
Fiber optics lah!
ah yes, another luxurious penultimate car for the penultimate rich middle east people.
they’re oil exporters, we’re oil exporters too….hmm i wonder why our GDP is SO DIFFERENT……..
i think the smart ones should know.
CSV…
REMEMBER…,
while their land there got black gold, others only desert SAND!!!
Ours NOT ONLY have black gold, it’s palm trees, rubber, tropical forest to log, tropical land suitable to plant anything, so on and so forth…
so onzetool,
conclusion that we could make: the more your country produce, the less rich the people would be..
