Let’s take a look at some of the ways in which the Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II compares to its predecessor.
While not the best-selling Rolls-Royce, the Ghost is a defining feature of the iconic British brand. The high-end car offers many of the benefits of the luxury Phantom but is smaller and more expensive.
The Ghost recently received its biggest refresh since entering its stage in 2020, and while much is pretty subtle, they add a lot to the Ghost and continue to put the overall “Rolls-Royce” experience at entry-level in ultra-luxury.
The bell cabinet in the dash is a bit of a homey touch
If you’re familiar with Ghost Series I and take a seat in Series II, one thing will immediately stand out. The dashboard has been reworked and now features pillar-to-pillar glass with a center console and illuminated fascia.
A small glass clock housing built into the dashboard houses an analog clock and a miniature Spirit of Ecstasy. Both the watch and SoE are highlighted on a matte black back panel with a soft fluorescent light source. It is details like this that set Rolls-Royce apart from other manufacturers and blur the lines between a Rolls interior and a stylish living room.
New features and styles are offered in the Ghost Series II
Wood is almost expected in a Rolls-Royce, and darker tone lovers can now cut through them with “stained gray ash”. If you want to perforate a particular design into some internal features, there is another “placed perforation” technique. But when it comes to new furniture, there is one that clearly stands out.
Perhaps the new “Duality Twill” upholstery material is the best choice for the sustainability-minded Ghost owner. The bamboo fabric is made of 11 miles of yarn and takes more than 2.2 million to put together. However, there are more than words like “sustainability” and the accountability associated with its production.
You really have to see and experience it to know how well it fits in a Rolls-Royce. First, they are incredibly easy to mistake for silk, and only discerning individuals can distinguish them. For a car that can wrap just about anything in your interior, Duality Twill holds its own.
Ghost Series II has had a gaming shake-up
While Rolls-Royce hasn’t really made any major changes to the new Ghost, it’s quite different from its predecessor. The lines are relatively smooth and flowing, and if you compare the two side by side, the settings seem a bit more chaotic.
The most notable new features are the iconic Pantheon Grille, which was just unveiled, and automotive lighting. The headlights have an updated graphic design, while the rear taillights take design cues from the Spectrum in their layout.
The Ghost Series II’s infotainment tech has also been reworked
If you wanted to lay down a fair criticism of the previous generation of the Ghost, the car’s infotainment system might be the first thing in your crosshairs Everything was a bit junky; Communication was an issue, and the itinerary was not awkward at all.
The Ghost Series II is a huge improvement, with better entertainment functionality, improved streaming capabilities and improved connectivity. Now it is Rolls Royce’s apparently powerful “SPIRIT” digital interface that is fully integrated with the “Whispers” private owners app. The app allows you to manage many parts of your car and communicate with other Rolls-Royce owners through your phone.
Rolls-Royce has somehow improved its suspension
The global suspension is one of the most popular for Rolls-Royce, with the driving experience more akin to a boat on calm water than a car as it glides down the road, with its V12 practically the large 6.75-liter capacity is quiet included , perhaps this is why it is marked “Phantom”. , “Spirit”, “Frage”, “Spectre”. Names like it so if the suspension is as good as it gets, it can’t be improved, right?
wrong. The Ghost Series II has improved its planar suspension system, a technological marvel first used in the 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost.
Simply put, a damper unit on the front suspension does most of the work. It works in tandem with other features, such as electronically controlled shock absorbers and some hefty air struts, to make it as precise as possible and Rolls-Royce doesn’t go into detail about what the improvements are except to say they are improved.
It’s also hard to tell the difference yourself. The Ghost Series I had much better suspension, and the Series II feels about the same when you drive. This is where we’re probably talking about fine margins.
A new audio system further enhances the experience
Those wishing to bring the opulence of their mansion with them on the open road to consider one of Rolls-Royce’s many offerings. Even in its Series II guise, the “entry-level” ghost continues to deliver that opulence and more to those with big enough checkbooks.
The high-end 18-speaker audio system is nothing new for Rolls-Royce, but the one you see in the Ghost Series II has also undergone a few improvements The advanced 1400-watt amplifier uses resonance chambers built into the sill of the car, which Fam no switch to extra large speakers.
A special acoustic membrane fitted to the headliner can also pipe sound from above, while two cabin-mounted microphones monitor levels and adjust where appropriate Two “speakers without boosters” are also fitted to the headliner of the series, making it the most effective of the Ghost Series II -is one of the audio features.
Final Thoughts
It is impossible to overstate the absolute attention to detail and excellence that Rolls-Royce consistently puts into its cars. To say they’re just a luxury car does a disservice to the materials and finishes used throughout.
Those looking to bring the luxury of their mansion off the beaten path can consider one of Rolls-Royce’s many offerings. Even in its second series, the “entry-level” Ghost continues to offer that luxury and more for those with big enough checkbooks.
