Seller Notes

Ferrari of Central New Jersey is proud to offer this BEAUTIFUL 2000 Rolls Royce Corniche!This 2000 Rolls-Royce Corniche is one of the last to be hand built from the crew factory in England. It was one out of 374 built for worldwide production from 2000-2002. This makes this Corniche the most limited production vehicle Rolls-Royce has made in recent history.The 2000-2002 Corniche is powered by a 325 hp (240 kW) 6.75 L turbocharged Rolls-Royce V8. The Corniche's engine is capable of providing 738 N*m (544 lb*ft) of torque at 2,100 rpm. The car is operated via a four-speed automatic transmission. It has a top speed of 135 mph (215 km/h) and a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration time of 8 seconds. The convertible, weighing 6,836 lb (3,101 kg),[citation needed] was built more for comfort than for speed.The Corniche came outfitted with every luxury and refinement characteristic of a Rolls-Royce. The car has a Connolly Leather interior, Wilton wool carpets, chrome gauges and a wide choice of exotic wood trims. Dual automatic temperature control, a six-disc CD changer, automatic headlamps and automatic ride control are standard.Styling cues were taken from the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph sedan, but it shares little mechanically with that BMW-engined car. Instead, the Corniche's body was set onto the older platform used for the Bentley Azure, making it the first and only Rolls-Royce developed from a Bentley rather than the other way around, (notwithstanding the fact that the Bentley Azure was of course developed on a Rolls-Royce platform to begin with.The Corniche was the only new Rolls-Royce developed under Volkswagen's ownership, before the marque was sold in 2003. All Corniches were completely hand-built. The car was considered a slightly softer, more exclusive version of the Azure.The last Rolls-Royce Corniche was manufactured on 30 August 2002. This was the last Rolls-Royce to be made at the Crewe plant before it was turned over entirely to the production of Bentley models. Only 374 fifth-generation Corniches were ever built
