It was weird to see him hand-closing the suicide doors at the end, but I realize that's far more cinematically satisfying than pressing the button (which is a crowd-pleaser in person but wouldn't work for a spy dashing off).

you can get solid 800-1000 horsepower out of a 9 liter v16 engine, why do you want turbos?

.Anyway, while we're entertaining the fantasy of Phantoms with very large engines, here's a thought: A Merlin V12, as featured in the Spitfires in this TG clip:
Top Gear - Arriving in style - Spitfires! - YouTube
... in a Phantom coupe! Imagine the magnificense of being overtaken by one on full song!
