Car Moon

If your run of the mill Phantom Drophead Coupé is just too darn common, then you may want to take a look at this one-off special that will go on display at the Masterpiece London 2011, which is held in the South Grounds of the Royal Hospital in Chelsea, UK, from Saturday 30 June to Friday 5 July 2011.

Looks like some uber-rich, uber-spoiled and probably uber-bored fellas found a new way to enjoy "The Spirit of Ecstasy". The 'richouligans' attempted to have a bit of slideway fun with a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe at a parking lot by performing donuts around other parked cars. Not the best way to enjoy a luxurious behemoth with a kerbweight of close to three tonnes with fuel and passengers on board, but whatev. Video after the jump.

Tuners are leaving no stone unturned these harsh economic times in their pursuit to make a buck or two. And what better candidates for some extra cash than the Rolls Royce Phantom limo and its convertible offspring, the Phantom Drophead Coupe. Though Hamann Motorsports has yet to disclose something official, these photos made their way into the net revealing the two cars. Aside from the massive 23-inch alloy wheels that are available in various designs, we didn't any other exterior changes on the Phantoms. A photograph of the interior though reveals that the German tuner has developed a new three spoke sport steering wheel for both models.

We've seen some obnoxiously modified Rolls Royce cars but we think this Phantom Drophead Coupe with its Louis Vuitton outer skin and larger than life alloy rims is so vulgar that it deserves to be ranked amongst the worst. Goes to show you that bad taste has no limits nor boundaries, it knows no rules or classes...

Unless you're a fan of 'Pimp my Ride', there are only so many mods one can perform to a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe without making it look like a rice-racer. Project Kahn, tuning specialist of all expensive and exotic vehicles, knows this all too well. Their subtle tuning proposal for the convertible Phantom limits the exterior changes to 22-inch alloy wheels (two different designs) and the polished front radiator grille. For the interior, Project Kahn adds a Rolls Royce Logo embossed in the front headrests, elm cluster veneer wood fascia panels, piano black steering wheel spokes and an iPod connector.
