Dangerous Lady

The Spirit of Ecstasy with laser vision? Unfortunately, this feature is reserved for Rolls Royce vehicles operating in the queen’s clandestine services. At least if the agent’s name is Johnny English.

At the IAA, the unusual Rolls Royce Phantom Coupé celebrates its premiere with this very feature. Even though the helpful gentlemen employed by Rolls Royce have declined to explain the function of the device to me (probably for reasons of security), I have no doubt that Rowan Atkinson had it actually installed in the car, instead of adding it in during post-production. Anyone could do that. And everybody would, let’s face it. Outside of the empire, that is.

Anyway, if you want to learn more about this unique Phantom Coupé, you can do so at the IAA. There is also a small film presentation at the Rolls Royce stand, albeit without sound. Luckily, we have the internet and that allows us to have 4:12 minutes of Rowan, the coupé and plenty of entertainment. Enjoy!
