The Corniche, available as coup� or convertible, used the standard Rolls-Royce 6.75L V8 engine with an aluminum-silicon alloy block and aluminum cylinder heads with cast iron wet cylinder liners. Twin SU carburetors were initially fitted but were replaced with a single Solex 4A1 four-barrel carburetor introduced in 1977. De-smogged export models retained the twin SUs until 1980, when Bosch fuel injection was added. A three-speed automatic transmission, Turbo Hydramatic 350 units sourced from General Motors, was standard.
