“I am proud to present our new benchmark of automotive luxury in
China,” said Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “No
other luxury product comes close to Phantom Extended Wheelbase in
staging an object of exquisite beauty, effortless opulence and grand
theatre. I am delighted that our discerning Chinese clients continue to
value Phantom Extended Wheelbase so highly. And with the changes for
Series II I am confident that it will continue to retain its position at
the very pinnacle of the ultra-luxury goods marketplace for many years
to come.”
Phantom Series II evolves the iconic Rolls-Royce Phantom which was
launched on 1 January 2003 at the company’s new home and headquarters in
Goodwood, England. And like other Phantom Series II models, Phantom
Extended Wheelbase features significant improvements in design,
drive-train and technology.
Encapsulating the changes that lie beneath is a striking new
front-end design, complete with re-styled bumpers and rectangular light
apertures. Fully-LED headlamps as standard deliver a characteristic
whiter light, and encompass technologies that automatically change the
shape and direction of light beams according to road orientation and in
response to different driving conditions.
New driver assistance technologies ensure that Phantom Extended
Wheelbase retains its reputation for effortlessness. A modern user
interface with re-designed multi-media controller, for example, controls
a new satellite navigation system with functions that include 3D maps
with landscape topography, guided tours and composite route planning.
