Until now if you had the money and wanted a big sports car that oozed class and style you would have had to opt for the hugely popular Bentley Continental GT, and many people did. So it is probably no surprise that Rolls Royce thought that they could do that too, and they have with the Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe.
