Perth’s high-flying corporate elite have a new option for getting around the city’s congested streets, with Rolls-Royce partnering with Barbagallo Motors to open its first showroom in Western Australia.
The showroom will be officially launched tonight, with Rolls-Royce celebrating the occasion by making its most powerful Ghost model, the V-Specification, available for the first time in Australia.
The V-Specification is a limited series of Rolls-Royce Ghost which incorporates a 6.6 litre V12 engine.
Rolls Royce Motor Cars Perth dealer principal Vince Barbagallo said the brand was being warmly received in WA.
First quarter statistics show Rolls-Royce sales in Australia were up by 25 per cent, with particularly strong interest being shown in its two-door fastback Wraith model.
“We have been delighted to be able to represent Rolls-Royce in Perth, as the brand has gone from strength to strength, with a strong model range epitomising cool, contemporary luxury,” Mr Barbagallo said.
The opening of Rolls-Royce’s Perth showroom has been in the works since November 2012.
Rolls-Royce also has showrooms in Melbourne, Sydney and Gold Coast.
