At the launch of the Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupe last year, someone asked why the carson explained that a car in the DHC's league doesn't need the all-purpose flexibility. He said something to the effect of "a (DHC) customer will most likely have a coupe for that purpose".

Here is the coupe, for that purpose.

WE LIKE
- Production car that's so close to the concept
- Bespoke quality
- Obsessive attention to detail

WE DON'T LIKE
- Not having a foldaway hardtop
- Expected long waiting list
- Being compared to the Bentley
