Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Greenwich unveils
the brand new
Phantom Series II
at the grand reopening Of Miller Motor Cars
and will offer the full line of Rolls-Royce
vehicles—Phantom, Phantom Extended Wheelbase, Phantom
Drophead Coupé, Phantom Coupé and Ghost.
“I am delighted with the opening of the new showroom in
Greenwich, CT
. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Greenwich serves one
of the most important markets in the U.S. and their
commitment, not only through the new showroom but also
through their new state of the art service facility is
second to none, said David Archibald, President of
Rolls-Royce North America. “Our customers always expect an
effortless ownership experience, from commissioning their
vehicle to servicing and this new facility and staff provide
this.”
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Greenwich opens a few months prior to
the arrival of the latest model, the Phantom Series II,
arriving in showrooms this September. The Phantom Series II
marks the first significant improvements to the Phantom
since 2003 and features several technological upgrades
intended to improve the timeless appeal, performance and
efficiency of the car. While the distinctive Rolls-Royce
grill and iconic Spirit of Ecstasy remain intact, the
striking new front-end features re-styled bumpers and
rectangular LED headlights – the first full LED headlights
to be offered as standard on a production car. A new
8-speed automatic gearbox and rear differential not only
enhance the driving experience, but decrease fuel
consumption by 10%. The Phantom Series II also features
upgraded driver assistance technologies, an updated
satellite navigation system and new user interfaces which
augment to the effortlessness and ease that the driver
experiences.
“We are proud to reintroduce a new era for Rolls-Royce Motor
Cars Greenwich, a division of Miller Motorcars at our Grand
Re-Opening on Wednesday June 27th,” said Richard
Koppelman, Principle of Miller Motorcars. “Thomas
Roach, sales specialist, was recently appointed Rolls-Royce
Sales Manager Worldwide by Torsten Müller-Ötvös. Excited for
the highly anticipated Phantom Series II model range along
with future models being debuted in the near future. Since
the launch of Phantom in 2004, we are at another stage in
history with this special brand
in a newly design showroom.”

vehicles,
an all-time record for the 108-year-old automaker.
