Summary
We're quite sure that the American Rolls-Royce arm will be able to sell every Drophead Coupe it can get its hands on for the foreseeable future. There are enough sports stars, entertainment stars, entrepreneurs, and generally wealthy people to keep Goodwood busy for years to come building them. Status and exclusivity are fine, but this car is also very rewarding to drive right up to its top speed of 150 mph, a precision navigation instrument, extremely quiet and peaceful inside, and built like no other car in the world.NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Jim McCraw test drove the Phantom Drophead Coupe around Maremma Toscana, Italy.
