Rolls-Royce Corniche III gallery (1989–1993)
The third generation introduced body-colored bumpers, standard airbags, and an upgraded digital engine management system.
The Rolls-Royce Corniche III was unveiled at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show as a refined evolution of the flagship convertible line. Built exclusively as a two-door convertible using components shared with the contemporary Silver Spirit series, the model received aesthetic and structural updates. Exterior highlights featured fully body-colored impact bumpers, integrated front turn indicators, and restyled alloy wheels. The powertrain consisted of the refined 6.75-liter V8 engine equipped with an advanced Bosch MK-Motronic electronic fuel injection system and digital ignition, coupled with a GM Turbo Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic gearbox. Inside, the Corniche III featured a redesigned dashboard layout, standard driver and passenger airbags, updated dual-level air conditioning, and enhanced seating ergonomics with Connolly hide upholstery. Hand-built by Mulliner Park Ward, it was delivered to elite clientele globally, primarily in North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
