Model history

The model name "Corniche II" was initially used exclusively for the US market from 1985, while other markets did not adopt this name until 1988. With the 1988 model year, the Corniche II underwent a number of technical and visual revisions: Among other things, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) was introduced as standard. The interior was also redesigned, with new seats and a modernized instrument panel. The design of the rear license plate holder was also modified, including a new reverse warning light. Driver and passenger airbags, however, were reserved for the successor model, the Corniche III. A total of 1,234 units were produced.

        Technik: Rolls-Royce Corniche, benannt nach der Küstenstraße Corniche zwischen Monaco und Nizza, ist eine Modellbezeichnung des britischen Herstellers Rolls-Royce. Der Corniche besaß den regulären V8-Motor des Hauses mit Motorblock aus einer Aluminium-Silizium-Legierung (Alusil), Aluminium-Zylinderköpfen und nassen, gusseisernen Zylinderlaufbuchsen. 104,1 mm Bohrung und 99,1 mm Hub ergaben einen Gesamthubraum von 6750 cm³. Anfänglich war der Motor mit zwei SU-Vergasern, ab 1975 mit einem Solex-Vierfachvergaser bestückt. Ab 1980 wurde eine Bosch-Einspritzung verwendet. Die Dreigangautomatik, eine Turbo Hydramatic 400, stammte von General Motors. Das Fahrwerk wies Einzelradaufhängung rundum und Schraubenfedern an Vorder- und Hinterachse auf, ferner eine automatische Niveauregulierung (von Rolls-Royce unter Verzicht auf die pneumatischen Dämpfer unter Citroën-Lizenz hergestellt), zunächst an allen vier, später nur an den Hinterrädern. Für Verzögerung sorgten Scheibenbremsen rundum, ab 1972 in innenbelüfteter Ausführung. LG Tom
