This modified Rolls-Royce coupe looks like a Spectre but packs a 750bhp V12

If the name Engler Automotive rings a bell, you’ve probably been reading about its V10 and V12-engined ‘superquads’. And yes, they are essentially humongously powerful supercars turned into hugely scary quad bikes.

Now though, founder and CEO Viktor Engler has decided to branch out with modifications of a different kind. So, say hello to the ‘Rolls-Royce CoupéTail by Engler’.

Yep, it’s essentially a coachbuilt two-door version of the Rolls-Royce Ghost. In fact, it looks quite a lot like the all-electric Spectre at the rear, but here there’s a breathed-on V12 under the long rakish bonnet.

Said V12 now makes somewhere over 750bhp and 737lb ft of torque, meaning the CoupéTail will exceed 187mph and will sprint from 0-62mph in under four seconds. We’re told it’s quicker off the mark than a Black Badge Spectre. Ultra-posh drag race, anyone?

The ride height has been lowered by 25mm compared to standard too, but Engler says that the ride will still be “impossibly smooth”. There’s also newly enhanced soundproofing to coddle occupants even further, and it seems to have a shorter wheelbase than the Ghost so it might even be more agile at the same time.

We’re told that this thing is a tribute to the Phantom II Coupe of 1935, and just 19 examples will be built. Each will be bespoke to its owner of course, while the new styling includes fresh bumpers, bonnet and side panels made from carbotanium.

Oh, and the grille is a single-piece 3D-printed sculpture made from titanium. Good grief.

The interior can be specced with materials such as osmium, titanium, gold, Hermès leather and ‘various gemstones’. Plus, each car will get a bespoke, removable wristwatch to replace the standard Rolls clock. Just think of all the opportunities…

A new sound system by Art in Motion should provide top quality audio in the now two-door cabin, and five of the 19 cars will be Toni Mahfud Editions thanks to a collaboration with the German artist. And in another arty move, contemporary sculptor Lorenzo Quinn has had a crack at reimagining the Spirit of Ecstasy. Rather him than us, not least because we’re dreadful at art. Anyway, we’re told the new sculpture is to be called Artemis and features a human hand holding up a tiny winged lady.

“We won’t stop till we’re legends,” is the Engler slogan. Reckon the CoupéTail is legendary, folks?
