The large open-plan space is home to the first, interactive Rolls-Royce exhibition in Asia that celebrates the brand’s contemporary, super-luxury status. It brings together the brand’s unique history, which spans more than a century, and modern-day developments.

Occupying a special place, both on the vehicles themselves and in the exhibition, is the Spirit of Ecstasy. This automotive icon graces the bonnet of every single Rolls-Royce ever made.

Ghost V-Specification was presented in Singapore for the first time. The limited series of Ghost and Ghost Extended Wheelbase motor cars celebrate one of Ghost’s defining characteristics; the exquisite, effortless 6.6 litre Rolls-Royce V12 engine.The hallmark V12 engine delivers acceleration of 0 to 100km/h in just 4.9 seconds with 80% of power available from idle. This unique powertrain is celebrated with a 30bhp power increase on all Ghost V Specification motor cars, making them the most powerful four-door saloons in the Rolls-Royce range (593hp, 780Nm of torque).

The most contemporary model yet from Rolls-Royce, the Wraith is the most powerful motor car the company has ever built. Its V12 engine harnesses 624hp and 800Nm of torque to deliver acceleration of 0-100km/h in only 4.6 seconds. Satellite Aided Transmission (SAT) intuitively changes gears for the driver when approaching roundabouts or exit ramps. True four-seater capability, bespoke craftsmanship and the usual hallmarks of Rolls-Royce luxury such as a bespoke, 1,300 watt, 18 speaker audio system mark Wraith out as the Ultimate Gran Turismo.

Phantom, Rolls-Royce’s flagship model, retains the pinnacle position in super-luxury motor cars. It is a family of ultra-luxurious cars that have been thoughtfully updated with the introduction of cutting-edge technologies and enhancements such as LED headlamps, 8-speed gearbox, updated satellite navigation system camera systems. A naturally aspirated V12 engine produces 453hp and 720Nm of torque to propel the car from 0-100km//h in a mere 5.9 seconds.

Rolls-Royce continues to present with pride the very best motor cars in the world – often considered the ultimate luxury goods.
