At the 2014
New York International Auto Show, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars unveiled Ghost Series
II to North American customers.
Offered in a discreet and considered update of
this iconic car’s exterior appearance, Ghost Series II offers the latest
technological advances to the growing base of highly-successful customers – the
Captains of Industry, entrepreneurs and successful business men and women.
Ghost
Series II : changes at a glance
Ghost is a
thoroughly contemporary representation of Rolls-Royce luxury – perfectly
balancing effortless dynamism and modern luxury in a car that is composed under
all circumstances.
Ensuring
Ghost remains at the very cutting edge of an ever-changing world is essential
to satisfying Rolls-Royce’s demanding customers and Ghost Series II proves a
showcase for the most recent technological advances from the marque. Clad in a
subtle re-design, Ghost Series II ensures the timeless yet modern quality that
the marque’s customers cherish.
The eye is
immediately drawn towards the re-sculpted headlights, with unbroken daytime
running lights framing a new, more dynamic shape, giving Ghost Series II a
distinct visual signature from the front. This blends perfectly with revised
surface treatments to the front of the car.
A tapered
‘wake channel’ on the bonnet, emanating from the Spirit of Ecstasy’s wings,
evokes the sight of a jet’s vapour trail, hinting at the car’s dynamism. Subtle
re-sculpting of Ghost’s bumpers creates a stronger stance and a sense of extra
width and height, whilst the contemporary aesthetic is further enhanced with
the addition of chrome inserts to the front air intakes, which now feed more
air cooling to the front brakes.
One of
Rolls-Royce’s defining visual signatures is given an enhanced dynamic edge. The
famous waft line has be re-designed on Ghost Series II to lean further forwards
– with a view to emphasizing the car’s effortless dynamism.
These
features, married with new optional 21” forged wheels and standard 19” wheels,
ensure Ghost remains a perfectly executed, contemporary expression of
Rolls-Royce luxury.
Interior
comfort
Interior
comfort and style are enhanced with re-designed seats. Electronically
adjustable thigh supports for front seat passengers complement a new seat
structure, enhancing Ghost’s unchallenged interior comfort levels.
A revised
rear seat design ensures absolute comfort for those wishing to conduct business
or simply relax. In ‘Lounge seat’ configuration, the seats are gently angled
towards each other to create a more intimate setting, allowing passengers to
communicate more easily.
The seats
are available with three-level heating as standard with optional massage
function and can be reclined for comfort. Chrome surrounds to the sun visor
lights and a new soft-feel dashboard treatment enhance the car’s premium
tactility, whilst sumptuous natural grain leather can now be optionally
extended to the A and C pillars.
The
instrument dials and clock have also undergone subtle enhancements with
individually applied polished metal chaplets around the dials evoking the
precision design of hand-made, luxury wrist watches, whilst the matt chrome
centres ‘float’ in the middle of each instrument.
Finally,
the scope for Bespoke customisation is widened with the introduction of two
new, exquisitely crafted veneers; Paldao and Walnut Burr Crossband.
