The V16 produces "unbelievable power and torque figures"which have not been released. But seeing as the ordinary phantom with its little V12 produces 453 bhp and 531 pound-feet of torque, this V16 monsters figures are sure to be spectacular. Rolls royce have used this 9.0L V16 in another car! the 100ex. http://www.topgear.com/content/features/stories/2006/02/stories/07/1.html
From the image we can assume it is the same engine used in the Johnny English Phantom Coupe. It looks identical to the Engine in the Phantom at the Top Gear studios.
Some of the benefits of a V16 are listed here : http://www.enginesandgearboxes.co.uk/makes/rolls-royce.aspx
If I were to go and see Johnny English Reborn it would not be to see the Comedic talents of Rowan Atkinson, it would be to get a better look at this wonderful Phantom Coupe. The addition of this V16 makes this special car just that bit more special. Forget the endless paint, wood and leather combinations you can choose from and be one of the first to choose the V16 option.
