Rolls-Royce: Malaysia a great market for luxury cars

Quill Motorcars Sdn Bhd, the distributor of Rolls-Royce cars in Kuala Lumpur, sees Malaysia as a great market for luxury cars.

Its general manager, Siow Ser Gun said Malaysia's economy was doing well, making it possible for more people to buy luxury items.

He said this at the unveiling of Rolls-Royce first Wraith model in Sabah and Sarawak here Wednesday.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Asia Pacific after sales manager, Gregory Baker, said the company achieved a successful record in the sales of Rolls-Royce in Malaysia last year, with a robust demand from West Malaysia.

"I'm very glad to see that our customers in Sabah and Sarawak will be well-taken care of by Quill Motorcars, which is exceptionally qualified to service our cars to the highest standards," he said.

Baker said the company remained one of the most successful manufacturers in its segment for ultra-luxury cars above 200,000 Euros (nett).

He said the two-door fastback Wraith model was considered the most powerful Rolls-Royce model ever built with a V12 twin-turbo engine.

The model's sophisticated 8-speed gearbox provides effortless acceleration from 0-100 kmph in 4.6 seconds, Baker added.
