The pinnacle of luxury, the Rolls-Royce Phantom, lands in Manila

Since 1925, the Rolls-Royce Phantom has been considered as the pinnacle of luxury automobiles. Captains of industry, Heads of State, celebrities, and Royalty have all been ferried around in eight generations of this illustrious nameplate. Now, the Phantom makes its way to the Philippines as Rolls-Royce Manila presented it at a glitzy affair  at  the BGC Arts Center recently.

Standing proudly in Black Diamond with an Armagnac interior, the new Rolls-Royce Phantom gave visitors a taste of what true luxury was all about. Clients and members of the media got to try for themselves the exquisite materials that make this truly special.

Yet anyone who knows their cars is aware that this is a mix of form and function, of the mechanical and the visual. Underneath all that fine wood, leather, and polished metal is the new Architecture of Luxury, which will underpin all Rolls-Royce models from here on in. This will help give the near-silent Magic Carpet Ride that the marque is known for.

Helping to provide an even more silent yet effortless ride is the new twin-turbo V12 motor. This powerhouse is designed to give a gentle yet potent push down any road. Combined with the said platform, it promises a ride like no other.

A Rolls-Royce, however, is not complete without the luxury of being able to customize your ride to suit your fancy. Naturally, the folks at Bespoke Design have taken pains to allow patrons to choose the type of materials, color schemes, and other details to their hearts’ content. Aiding this is the centerpiece of the Rolls-Royce Phantom’s interior—The Gallery. The re-definition of the automotive dashboard allows one to choose any design they so desire and display it within a hardened glass surface.

This means you can show off your favorite painting, baseball card collection, or even designer handbag material. It’s there for all your lucky passengers to see.

Get to see and experience the new Rolls-Royce Phantom at the Rolls-Royce Manila showroom in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.
