What does it cost?
For Rolls-Royce’s most expensive and exclusive model. It has beautifully finished wood decking on the rear, seating for four and the thickest folding roof to shut out any surprise showers in Monaco.
Against That wood decking is an option and it’s not cheap; it's the same if you want the bare aluminium bonnet. Things get very blustery with the roof down, ruining your expensive coiffure.
What Car? says
As statements go, this is a very bold one. Beautifully finished, rapid and imposing, this is the best way to enjoy the sun when you’re away from your superyacht.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Hand-built at a facility in Goodwood, England, the Phantom is BMW’s take on what the quintessential British luxury car should be. It’s vast and imposing in any of its four bodystyles – saloon, extended-wheelbase saloon, coupe and drop-head cabriolet.
All are beautifully built from the finest materials available, while Rolls-Royce quirks like (rear-hinged) 'coach' doors, a power-reserve dial in place of a rev-counter and self-levelling badges in the wheels underline the attention to detail.
Shifting all that metal, wood and leather is a 6.8-litre V12 engine with 453bhp; gone are the days when Rolls-Royce used to merely describe its power as ‘adequate’.
Even so, it is, as the Phantom in any form is able to get to 62mph in a quite incredible six seconds. It drives well, too, the Phantom enjoyable behind the wheel as well as in the back.
