And not only for this modelgeneratie, but for always…

A terrible setback for rappers, footballers and oil sheiks, their loved ones least costly compensation service, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe and the regular Coupe, go out of production and in the future will not be replaced. That says it Rolls itself in a press release, so unfortunately, it is true, we fear.

Let’s start at the beginning. At the end of this year, the whole Phantom family on the shovel. It is 13 years since the first Phantom of this generation, from the factory gates at Goodwood was rolling, so, in principle, is there ever time for. That the Phantom-derived from production, is not so strange. But what is weird is, is that there are no replacements for those models. Rolls says it a little bit between the nose and lips, in the press release does not explain why they stop with these models. But I still regret it.

There is still a small bit of good news for everyone who has enough money in his account and still a actiemodelletje wants of the Phantom; 50. Both the regular Phantom, as the Drophead and Coupé is a uitzwaaiversie created with the name Zenith, shown in the photo at the top of this article. You need to be fast, before you know it they are gone!

The new Phantom follows probably next year, but without the coupé and cabrio. To do this, the customers move away to the Wraith and the Dawn. Also nice cars, but not as iconic as their big brothers. But well, Rolls-Royce, there will be a reason for it. Or, just off the cuff speculation, maybe they come up with even zinlozer cars, but one model above the Phantom. That would be fat.
