Rolls Royce Options
Rolls-Royce Phantom
If you think you’re overpaying for movie popcorn, wait till you visit your nearest Rolls-Royce showroom. The fact is, most Rolls-Royce cars sell for far above their base prices. Many Rolls vehicles are “bespoke,” meaning that they car custom outfitted for their owners. Not only are the options pricey and select, but the paint and upholstery colors are unique, as well. These are the option prices on the 2012 Rolls-Royce Phantom Sedan, which by the way starts at $380,000:
- 6-way power individual rear seats ($8,100)
- Rear footrests ($2,600)
- Rear curtains ($5,900)
- Rear picnic tables ($2,800)

Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe
And then there’s the $447,000 2012 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe:
- Teak and stainless steel convertible top boot ($17,925)
- Starlight headliner ($12,350)
- Floormats made from lambswool ($1,270)
For an extra $4,610, the Phantom Drophead Coupe comes with a “presentation key box,” which includes a solid silver key fob and a silver fountain pen. The latter is necessary for writing fat checks to Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
