A coupé with a V12 engine, this Rolls-Royce is for those who defy convention and reject electric cars.

The luxury car scene has a fresh new leading figure. It’s called the Rolls-Royce CoupéTail by Engler, and it starts life as the latest updated Ghost-yes, the very same four-door saloon.

This build is aimed squarely at those who miss cars like the Rolls-Royce Wraith-now discontinued-but who also can’t see themselves choosing the fully electric Spectre. For that reason, the Ghost’s body has been reworked into a refined, elegant coupé, complete with two rear-hinged doors.

In terms of styling, much of the influence comes from the Spectre. The key difference is under the bonnet: this Rolls-Royce CoupéTail uses a twin-turbo V12, now producing more than 750 cv and 100 Nm of torque.

Compared with the standard V12 found in the Rolls-Royce Ghost, the CoupéTail’s unit gains new turbochargers, a revised lubrication system, and electronic management developed specifically for this model.

According to the figures stated by the manufacturer, the CoupéTail can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in under four seconds, while also reaching a top speed of 300 km/h.

In other words, it outperforms the Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge, yet still retains the same hushed cabin comfort, helped by additional sound insulation and a suspension set-up lowered by around 25 mm.

A Rolls-Royce CoupéTail by Engler for the non-conformists

With a base price (excluding taxes) of €2.2 million (source: Carscoops), the Rolls-Royce CoupéTail by Engler is positioned as more than just a car-it’s an expression of individuality. Production will be capped at just 19 units, and five of those will feature an exclusive custom specification. Even the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine has been reimagined by a sculptor, giving it an even more distinctive, bespoke feel.

Engler says that, despite the changes, a large share of original Rolls-Royce components has been retained, allowing customers to keep the British brand’s original warranty. The result is an option for anyone who wants a Rolls-Royce coupé but doesn’t identify with the quiet shift to electric mobility-because for them, the V12’s roar remains irreplaceable.
