IT DON' T GET NO BETTER !!!




The heir to the Corniche tradition, this four-place convertible will be powered by the same 6.7-liter V-12 found in the plutocrat-tastic Phantom. It will also share that car's basic aluminum spaceframe architecture.

Even in his heyday, Vanilla Ice would have had trouble affording this beast--the estimated price will be somewhere between $400,000 and $425,000. The Corniche name isn't a certainty, but Rolls would be all kinds of insane to throw away a name so dear to the world's rich and pompous. Oh, and the suicide doors? Beyond cool.



The Rolls-Royce Phantom Tungsten is featured in the Bespoke Collection. The bonnet has a dramatic brushed aluminium finish, which contrasts elegantly with the bodywork, painted in Darkest Tungsten - a colour never used before on a production Rolls-Royce. New 21-inch forged aluminium wheels and visible exhaust tail pipes lend a particularly purposeful air to this special Phantom. On the inside is a unique interior lighting system, featuring a Starlight Headlining, which comprises several hundred fibre-optic lights embedded into perforated black leather, giving the impression of a star-filled night sky. Smoke Grey leather seats with contrasting Navy Blue piping complement the rich rosewood veneers and tooled metal steering wheel spokes.
