Your primary point of contact with the Phantom Coupé, the multi-function steering wheel is the product of detailed design, and intended to reinforce the driver’s sense of control and authority.
Custom-developed for the Phantom Coupé, the wheel has a 4mm thicker rim than that of the Phantom, which is intended to feel in keeping with the weight of the steering, which has less power assistance for an increased sense of connection for the driver.
Trimmed in black leather, with no stitching to ensure a smooth surface, it has an elliptical cross-section, to fill the curvature of the driver’s hand, and the spokes have integrated horn buttons for intuitive use when required. There are also a number of control switches, which can be used to operate the stereo, telephone and navigation system.
The automatic transmission is operated via a ‘shift-by-wire’ column stalk, which controls the gearbox via electronics rather than a mechanical linkage, and offers the driver a simple choice between Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive for easy, intuitive operation.
