Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II - All you need to know

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II is the epitome of luxury and elegance. This iconic car has been a symbol of wealth and success for decades, and the Series II takes it to a whole new level.

From its sleek exterior to its opulent interior, the Phantom Series II is a car that demands attention. And now the beautiful Rolls-Royce is here replacing the 8th-gen Rolls-Royce Phantom in Malaysia.

Anas Zawawi Khalid, director of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Kuala Lumpur, on Phantom II arrival said, “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.”

Let's take a closer look at all you need to know about this luxurious vehicle.

Price & Variants

In Malaysia, the all-new Phantom is offered in two versions namely, the standard-wheelbase (SWB) Phantom Series II and the extended-wheelbase (EWB) Phantom Extended Series II.

They are priced as follows -

• SWB Phantom Series II - RM2,500,000
• EWB Phantom Extended Series II - RM2,900,000

Exterior Design

The Phantom Series II features a classic and timeless design, with a long hood and a short front overhang. The iconic Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament sits proudly at the front, while the signature Rolls-Royce grille adds to the car's grandeur. The Series II also features LED headlights and tail lights, giving it a modern touch.

Other impressive features include -

• A new polished horizontal line between the daytime running lights
• Reshaped Pantheon grille
• Revised headlamps with intricate laser-cut bezel
• New wheels with 3D-effect, milled stainless-steel option with triangular facets
• Dark chrome grille surround
• Black bonnet reins, windscreen surround, and side frame finishers

Interior Design

Step inside the Phantom Series II and you'll be greeted with the finest materials and craftsmanship. The interior is customizable, with a wide range of leather, wood, and metal finishes to choose from. The seats are hand-stitched and can be adjusted in multiple ways for maximum comfort. The starlight headliner, which features over 1,600 fibre optic lights, adds a touch of magic to the interior.

Also, the steering wheel is now slightly thicker providing “a more connected and immediate point for contact for the owner-driver,” says Rolls-Royce.

Comfort

The Phantom Series II is a pretty big car, however, if one requires even more legroom (rear) they have to opt for the Extended version. Compared to the standard wheelbase version with 3,553 mm of wheelbase, the Extended version stretches by a good 220 mm.

Technology

The Phantom Series II is not just a luxurious car, but also a technologically advanced one. It features a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, which can be controlled by a rotary dial or through voice commands. The car also has a 360-degree camera system, adaptive cruise control, and a heads-up display. The rear seats even have fold-out picnic tables and a champagne cooler.

The car also sports the all-new Rolls-Royce Connected system which allows the owner to send an address to the car through Whispers; the system will in turn provide seamless navigation and displays the car's location, current health status, and security status.

Performance

Under the hood, the Phantom Series II is powered by a 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 engine, producing 563 hp and 900 Nm of torque. This powerful engine allows the car to go from 0 to 100 km in just 5.3 seconds (standard version) and 5.4 seconds (for extended version). The Series II also features a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, providing a smooth and effortless driving experience. The car attains a top speed of 250 kmph.

Safety

The Phantom Series II is not just about luxury and performance, but also about safety. It comes equipped with a range of safety features, including lane departure warning, night vision, and a surround-view camera system. The car also has a reinforced aluminium space frame and advanced airbags to ensure the safety of its passengers.

Colour options

As expected, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II is offered in many colour options; 44,000 choices to be precise.

Conclusion

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II is a car that exudes luxury and sophistication. From its elegant exterior to its opulent interior, this car is a true masterpiece. With its advanced technology and powerful performance, the Series II is not just a status symbol, but also a joy to drive. If you're in the market for a luxury car, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II is definitely worth considering.
