“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 27^th,” 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
