Speaking of cars, there are very few models that can come close to the prestige and luxury that the British firm Rolls-Royce boasts, even when it is the Ghost, that if we have to categorize it in some way, it is the “entry” model to Rolls-Royce. We put it in quotes because it is still more exclusive than any other car on the market and it also tells you about the potential achievable in the Phantom, Specter and the special custom models that the firm makes.
Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II: discreet but meaningful renovation
The Ghost Series II is a little more than a simple evolution of the previous model. This mainly occurs because the brand worked on giving it a less traditional identity, with headlights that are wedged towards the large front grille and bumpers with a more minimalist design. The refresh is subtle, but it speaks to Rolls-Royce’s ambitions to discreetly adapt to a younger audience.
The taillights have been updated, mimicking the Spectre’s styling, while the finishes remain chrome or black on the Black Badge version, as does the choice of 22″ wheels.
Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II: more technological and bold
Inside, the Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II provides one of the most immersive welcomes ever seen and this is due to two factors. The first has to do with the new finishes available for the model. It is known that the Ghost is a car created for a somewhat younger audience than the Phantom and that is why we can see configurations like the one at launch, with a blue steering wheel or seats with design patterns. The second has to do with immersive effects such as the ceiling with fiber optic lights (Starlight Headliner) with built-in speakers, the powerful 1,400-watt audio system and the glass panels that integrate the screens of the multimedia system or cluster.
Then we have a new sequential lighting design seasoned with new materials, including ash wood in gray ink and bamboo fabric upholstery for the seats, whose embroidery required 2.2 million stitches and 18 kilometers of thread. Of course, if you want to go further, the brand has the option of requesting a Placed Perforation finish.
In the rear seats, two streaming devices can be connected to the rear screens, so you can watch whatever you want. You can also use the car as a WiFi hotsport and charge your devices with new USB-C ports.
Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II: the mechanics are not touched
Rolls-Royce will not touch one of the most precious points for customers in this segment, which is the engine. In this case, The 6.75 liter Biturbo V12 is retained with eight-speed automatic transmission (which includes synchronization with GPS topographic points), which develops 563 HP and 850 Nm of torque. It reaches 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 255 km/h. The chassis is regulated thanks to a four-wheel drive and steering system, as well as adaptive self-leveling suspension.
