When it comes to luxury and performance married to top shelf body work, BMW owned subsidiary with English origins Rolls Royce can comfortably hold its own in waters that are infested with other automotive sharks like the Bentley Flying Spur and the Mulsanne. The success of the Ghost, a relative of the much larger Phantom, was so sweet that the luxury car maker had to usher out an update so as to satisfy the clients’ clamors for more.
Updates and Outstanding Features
Right from the get go, the exterior of the Ghost Series II takes center stage basing on the quality of its positively eye popping aesthetics. The folks over at Rolls Royce do know their cars and the man hours infused into making this luxury car surely paid off. Beneath the hood sits a 6.6 liter V12 engine churning out a maximum horsepower of 563bhp at 5250rpm and peak torque of 780Nm at 1500rpm. This piece of automotive engineering ingenuity is mated to an 8 speed automatic transmission gear box that shifts seamlessly.
The signature radiator grille has been slightly magnified; a majestically fitting finish to a bonnet that sports a center line that Rolls claims is reminiscent of a jet’s vapor trail. The sculpting of the new bumpers is simply sublime, gently putting an aesthetically pleasing surrounding to a newly designed head light cluster. This comprises LED lamps that set to a default of high beam, only dimming in the presence of oncoming traffic.
The interior on the other hand is rife with luxury in the form of premium leather perfectly stretched over very comfortable seats that can be adjusted electrically (the front seats) whereas the rear seats have been reset and reclined in a more lumbar-agreeable position. The owner is given chance to personalize the interior with the introduction of new kinds of wood veneer like walnut burr.
A new satellite navigation system, as well as new touch screen color display, has been installed.
