Default Spy Shots: Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe does some performance testing at Nürburgring

Filed under: Spy Photos, Coupe, Performance, Rolls-Royce, Luxury


While all the gory details surrounding the new Rolls-Royce coupe - including its true name, "Corniche" is just a savory-sounding best guess right now - are still shrouded in mystery, this new set of clandestinely foraged images proves that the car probably won't be a slouch in terms of performance.

The Ghost-based Roller was spotted on the Nürburgring Nordschleife recently, demonstrating its sporting chops at the same time it was showing off it's impressive patrician nose. Expectations are that, when the new coupe is shown off for real at the Geneva Motor Show in March of next year, that nose will belong to the fastest production car to ever wear the Spirit of Ecstasy.

Indications are that the Corniche will be rocking a turbocharged V12, making in the ballpark of 600 horsepower, and using an eight-speed transmission.Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe does some performance testing at Nürburgring originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 10 Oct 2012 19:30:00 EST.
