Thread: Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe + Downtown City Winters ?

Hey guys, so Im trying to figure out if driving a Phantom Coupe would be possible during winter in big downtown condo cities like Toronto, or New York or Chicago...

I had a 745Li 4 years ago here in Toronto and with a good set of snow tires it did well. Its a heavy car and downtown is plowed often when it snows.

Anyone know someone with first hand experience of driving a Phantom in such cities during winter?

I can't speak to the RR but I do know the Bentley Arnage does just fine in Chicago winters with all seasons.

With the snow, slush, all that sand, dirty roads, not really fun to drive in those type of weathers. I'd rather whip a Range Rover Supercharged, or G55 AMG or something.

Its just snow and slush but the streets in Toronto get cleaned fairly quick. No sand or anything that dirty in the winter.

You would really drive a Range or G55 AMG over a Phantom Coupe ???

Scott Oshry that did gR Rally in his Scuderia has his RR Phantom in NY as a DD.

Thanks for the input! Don't see a Phantom coupe being that much different.

For winter certainly, in East Coast USA, snows are very dirty. Gets mixed with sand or gravel, it's a mess, sticks to cars, big black slushes of mixed ice and snow coming off your car as you pull into a driveway. My cousin lives in Toronto, I heard you guys have a nice system built in for a quicker turn around on snow etc..., so I don't know how that is over there. But despite any tire, or any traction, if it's a big snow, and clearance is low, the car won't move.

Yep. He does.

Phantom Coupe as a DD in the snow = WIN.
