The Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II is a remarkable evolution of the 2020 model, introducing enhanced customization options to meet the highest standards of its discerning clientele. This facelift, subtle in its execution, is more about refining excellence than redefining it, ensuring that the Ghost remains at the pinnacle of automotive luxury.
The exterior of the Ghost Series II sees thoughtful updates that streamline its appearance while maintaining its stately presence. New, slimmer daytime running lights and a more prominent Pantheon grille enhance its front fascia, complemented by cleaner lines where unnecessary intakes and slots have been minimized. The rear features new taillights inspired by the Rolls-Royce Spectre, adding a modern touch to its classic design. Additionally, the introduction of two new 22-inch wheel designs offers even more ways for owners to personalize their vehicles.
Inside, the Ghost Series II borrows the cabin-spanning screen and updated SPIRIT operating system first seen in the Cullinan’s recent facelift. However, the true star is the Duality Twill fabric option for the interior, a testament to Rolls-Royce’s commitment to craftsmanship, involving 2.2 million stitches that add 20 hours to the build process. This level of detail is what sets Rolls-Royce apart in the world of luxury cars.
Technologically, the Ghost Series II is more connected and customizable than ever. It features the refined Spirit software suite and includes the Whispers app, which allows for an array of remote functionalities via a smartphone. Owners can now personalize the color of their digital gauges, a service where the chosen color is coded into the system, ensuring a unique and personal touch.
Underneath the refined exterior, the Ghost Series II retains the powerful 6.75-liter V12 engine, delivering 563 horsepower with the help of an advanced Planar Suspension System that includes all-wheel steering and electronically-controlled aids. This ensures a driving experience that is as smooth as it is powerful.
For those seeking even more exclusivity and power, the Black Badge Ghost Series II is an enticing option. It boosts the engine to 591 horsepower and incorporates unique design elements like dark chrome and carbon fiber. The Black Badge also features new seven-spoke 22-inch wheels and a quicker-shifting transmission, emphasizing performance alongside luxury.
Juliane Blasi, Rolls-Royce’s head of exterior design, describes the Ghost Series II as embodying serenity, effortlessness, and elegance. It serves as a canvas for owners to express their personal style, whether they prefer something understated or bold. The Ghost Series II not only upholds the legacy of Rolls-Royce but also elevates it, making it an ideal choice for those who view their vehicles as an extension of their personal brand in the realm of expensive cars. This is truly a car where the cost is overshadowed by the craftsmanship, innovation, and prestige that come with every detail.
