KUALA LUMPUR: The new Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II has arrived in Malaysia, with prices starting at RM2,500,000 while the Extended version starts at RM2,900,000 - prices are exclusive of tax.
"We are excited to celebrate the arrival of Phantom Series II to Malaysia. With its rich heritage and commanding design, a blank canvas for bespoke features, this pinnacle Rolls-Royce represents the epitome of timeless luxury, tailored to the discerning preferences of our distinguished clientele," said Anas Zawawi Khalid, director, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Kuala Lumpur.
The eighth-generation Phantom's commanding presence is enhanced by a new polished horizontal line between the daytime running lights above the Pantheon Grille.
A subtle geometric change to the Pantheon Grille makes the 'RR' Badge of Honour and Spirit of Ecstasy mascot more prominent when viewed from the front.
The headlights are graced with intricate laser-cut bezel starlights, creating a visual connection with the Starlight Headliner inside.
Phantom's side profile retains Rolls-Royce's signature short front and long rear overhang, long wheelbase and broad c-pillar, the latter giving greater privacy for occupants.
The silhouette preserves the elegant key lines running from the Spirit of Ecstasy to the tapering rear tail.
The 'split-belt' line begins at the front fender and curves gently towards the rear door, emphasising the car's long dash-to-axle proportions, before falling gently towards the lantern-like rear lamps.

The heavily undercut 'waft line creates a strong shadow, visually signalling the marque's unequalled 'Magic Carpet Ride'.
A 3D, milled, stainless steel wheel with triangular facets is available to commission in a fully or part-polished finish.
Alternatively, Phantom may be graced with a truly elegant disc wheel, recalling the romance of 1920's Rolls-Royce motor cars.
This disc wheel is produced in both polished stainless steel and black lacquer.
Responding to Phantom clients who have previously requested a darkened chrome grille surround, black bonnet reins, windscreen surround and side frame finishers, these may now be commissioned.
Phantom's sumptuous interior remains almost unaltered: the steering wheel has been made slightly thicker, providing a more connected and immediate point of contact for the owner-driver.
For those preferring to command the road from the rear seat, Phantom Extended offers the definitive chauffeur-driven experience.
Now, Phantom includes the debut of 'Rolls-Royce Connected'. This enables the owner to send an address directly to the motor car from Whispers, the Rolls-Royce private-members' Application, providing seamless navigation to an event, restaurant, dealership or even the Home of Rolls-Royce itself.
Rolls-Royce Connected also displays the motorcar's location, security status and current 'health' condition on Whispers; at the touch of a button the owner can contact a preferred dealership for any servicing requirements or information about the car.
