Toovo1985 Clutched July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 This is what happens when you bring an automotive fanatic like Rowan Atkinson to the fanatic automotive world of Top Gear. Great entertainment! "Rowan brought along a prop car from his upcoming film Johnny English Reborn. What appears to be a standard Rolls-Royce Phantom from the outside actually hides a rather large secret under the hood. According to Atkinson, Rolls flirted with the idea of building a 9.0-liter V16-powered Phantom, but ultimately scrapped the idea. Still, the British car maker wound up producing three or four of the mega mills, and Atkinson asked to use one for his new film. The engineers at Rolls obliged, and his Phantom is now a truly exotic luxury coupe." Autoblog Hope you enjoy the video ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryn Turbocharged July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 A few things about Rowan, 1. He has been at pains before to point out that he is an actor rather than a commedian 2. When he was a child he used to spend hours a day practicising facial expressions in front of a mirror - his rubber face is no accident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
