The ultimate status symbol
No other car symbolises affluence and power in quite the same way as a Rolls-Royce, and a Corniche in particular. The convertible or two-door saloon (the term RR preferred over “coupe”) was built for a full 24 years, totaling 5,146 convertibles, 1.108 saloons and another 140 Corniches with the Bentley badge. At its debut, this was the most expensive series production car in the world. Its potent buyers were faced with a four-year waiting period.
The Corniche is powered by the well-established 6,750 litre V8 which accelerates the 2.3 ton luxury car to a maximum speed of around 190 km/h. Of course, not many Corniches would ever have been pushed to that limit, when it’s so much nicer to just waft along in great comfort – owing to the hydraulic self-levelling system – and unequalled style, with not much of a noise apart from the wind…
