Rolls Royce Ghost
Rolls-Royce Ghost is widely recognized as the coachbuilder of ultra-luxurious rides for the ultra-rich, and its entry-level model, the Ghost, only enhances that reputation. The styling of the model has evolved for the 2021 model year, but it still looks pretty. Unlike the previous generation, which shared its foundation with the more mainstream BMW 7-Series, the new Ghost rolls on the same architecture of luxury that is used in the Phantom sedans and Cullinan SUVs. Electric-operated doors provide access to the cabin – a retreat lined with some of the best materials in the Autodome. The interior also provides generous space for the front and rear seat passengers to rest comfortably.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Although it has undergone a massive overhaul for 2021, the Ghost is still powered by a familiar engine. Under the tall hood of the sedan is a 563-hp 6.7-litre V-12 shared with the Cullinan SUV. An eight-speed automatic does handle shifting duty, and all-wheel drive is standard. According to Rolls-Royce, the 2021 Ghost is capable of hitting 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, and we look forward to verifying that claim on our test track. Rolls-Royce also claims that the new Ghost offers a faster driving demeanor than the previous model, pointing to the all-wheel-steering system and 50/50 weight distribution that driving satisfaction has played an important role in the development of the car. role played. The Ghost offers a unique ride thanks to its standard adaptive suspension that employs a road-scanning camera to help keep the vehicle guessing and compensate for potholes.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Like any Rolls-Royce cabin, the new Ghost is gorgeous inside, with every surface, knob, switch and lever crafted from quality materials. Trying to stand out from competitors like the Bentley Flying Spur and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Rolls-Royce has pulled all the stops. Think thick carpeting, fine-grained leather, genuine wood and metal accents, and even an available headliner with tiny integrated LEDs to simulate a starlit sky. When the driver turns on the Ghost, an illuminated dashboard inlay glows, adding to the ambiance of a starry night. The best seat in the house would be the back, where passengers are treated to luxuries like massage seats, an entertainment system, and acres of legroom.
