Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will display its new Phantom Coupe at the Geneva Motor Show.

Supposedly the most driver-orientated model in the Phantom line, the car is said to be capable of boasting of a number of subtle but significant modifications that have made it dynamic and comfortable. Production of the Phantom Coupe will start at Goodwood in the summer of 2008.

Rolls-Royce has designed the new beauty to cover great distances effortlessly. Powered by a 6.75-litre V12 that produces 453 bhp, 720 Nm of torque, the car also brings in fuel efficiency that ever before.

Rolls Royce Chief designer, Ian Cameron, has said that they have given the Rolls-Royce design a dynamic twist while creating the machine. "This adds a sense of drama to the outstanding engineering and drivability that are fundamentals of Rolls-Royce cars."

According to auto news, the Phantom Coupe comes with rear-hinged coach doors which add considerably to the ease of access to the rear lounge seats as well as to the overall aesthetics. It has a split tail compartment that opens in two parts, gives easy access to 395 liters of space too. Built on an aluminum chassis, the car comes across as lightweight but is exceptionally strong.

Other features include slim LED sidelights, a gentle raked grille, and a continuous A-pillar.
