Rolls-Royce Motor Cars opens first showroom in Malaysia

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars opens first showroom in Malaysia

Rolls-Royce has officially opened its first showroom in Malaysia, one of only 81 dealerships in the world. Located along Jalan Semangat, Petaling Jaya, the showroom is part of the Quill 9 building and is owned by Quill Motorcars. Quill also has a BMW dealership in the same building.

If you’re wondering, yes, the showroom has been around for quite some time now – it was the venue of the Rolls-Royce Ghost preview we covered back in January 2010 – but it gets an official opening today with ribbon cutting by Deputy Minister of Finance Dato Donald Lim, Rolls-Royce Asia Pacific Regional Director Paul Harris and Group Executive Director of Quill Group Dato’ Michael Ong, among other VIPs.

The new 224 square metre showroom houses three Rolls-Royce cars and has a lounge that allows customers to configure their car using colour, wood and leather samples from RR’s manufacturing plant in Goodwood. When buying a Rolls-Royce, anything is possible.

Here’s a quote from Thomas Jefferson, Bespoke Sales and Communications Manager at RR: “We’re here to make your Rolls-Royce as unique as you are. You name it, we make it happen.”

Some of the bolder requests they’ve received include leather floors, illuminated Spirit of Ecstasy figurines, a Hermes roof interior and wait for this: veneers made from a tree grown in the customer’s estate! By the way, the options list already has 20 standard veneers and 25 bespoke veneers, so you’ll have to be the fussiest billionaire to require something else.

According to RR, every Phantom client is invited to witness the “marriage of the car to its engine” at Goodwood and receives a 72-page book charting the production of their unit.

We can’t possibly detail everything about RR customisation, so potential owners will have to pay the showroom a visit for the full shebang. The Rolls-Royce Ghost is priced from RM2.1 million while the Phantom family (Standard Wheelbase, Extended Wheelbase, Drophead Coupe, Coupe) is priced from RM3.3 million. Each new RR comes with a 4-year unlimited mileage warranty and 24-hour roadside assistance.

    Comments on the blog post about Rolls-Royce opening in Malaysia mainly reflect admiration and curiosity, with some expressing skepticism about the high costs due to taxes and concerns about the wealth gap. Several commenters highlight that owning a Rolls-Royce is a status symbol and a dream for the wealthy, while others criticize the high prices caused by taxes or suggest that the cars are mostly bought by the corrupt or ultra-rich. There is also discussion about the luxury lifestyle associated with such cars, including safety measures like bodyguards. A few comments inject humor or off-topic remarks, but the overall sentiment appreciates the luxury brand’s arrival as a sign of rising wealth, though some address social disparities and hypocrisy.

          The one that is hardworking and got rich the right way, will not spend their money on this as they know how hard it is to find money. They will instead invest more on business and get a normal Benz for their daily travel. Besides, hard working people got no time for the car. XD

            not true….what if they are hardworking and rich the right way but love cars at the same time? I believe for some buying an RR is a dream come true…wouldn’t they want their dreams come true when they have achieved success? there are many that are filthy rich here…literally filthy…but there are still some that are not….those that are always commenting on how rich people are usually corrupted are saying that simply because they never got to make it that far in life…jealous?

  • Well this means Malaysians have arrived ….. now can afford Rolls Royce in big numbers that’s why an offical opening

    A little out of topic ….The official ribbon cutting by Deputy Finance Minister …. should be rephrase by a Deputy Minister who has no mandate from the rakyat…… an appointed senator who has lost his parlimentary seat badly

    they have service centre or not? how many cars they accept in 1 week? 2 or 3 units?

    must be easy as the service advisor, after all most likely they deal with the drivers only.

    Used RR is one of the cheapest coz the richs dont buy used RR no face and poor guys cant afford to maintain it, so there is not much market for a used RR, unless sell it to 5 stars hotels for their fleet cars.
