Ghost Series II – AutoApp Dev https://www.autoapp.sg/dev Sat, 18 Jan 2025 19:43:32 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 Rolls-Royce Unveils Ghost Series II in Singapore https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=280413 Sat, 18 Jan 2025 19:43:32 +0000 https://www.autoapp.sg/?p=280413 The British marque has chosen Singapore as the launchpad for the Ghost Series II, the latest evolution of its most successful model.


This new iteration refines the very essence of modern Rolls-Royce motoring; effortless performance, opulent craftsmanship, and an unrivalled platform for personalisation.

Speaking on the significance of the launch, Irene Nikkein, Regional Director Asia-Pacific, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said, “Our clients truly appreciate Ghost’s handling capabilities and its potential for Bespoke. Ghost Series II remains faithful to its principles, yet it elevates every aspect of its presence. It is the most technologically advanced and driver-focused V12 Rolls-Royce ever created.”

Singapore’s affinity for luxury automobiles makes it a natural choice for this debut. Renee Chua, Managing Director, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Singapore, echoed this sentiment: “This model has grown to be one of the most-loved Rolls-Royces in Singapore over the years, reinforcing its potential as both an engineering masterpiece and a canvas for individual expression.”

The Ghost Series II remains unmistakably Rolls-Royce, yet subtle refinements make it more commanding than ever. The signature Pantheon grille, now illuminated, takes centre stage, complemented by re-sculpted headlights with intricate daytime running light graphics.

At the rear, the updated tail lamp design, inspired by Rolls-Royce’s electric grand tourer, the Spectre, adds a modern touch, while 22-inch alloy wheels (offered in fully or partially polished finishes) complete the car’s imposing stance.

Rolls-Royce’s new SPIRIT digital interface takes command on the inside, housed within a pillar-to-pillar glass panel.

This system not only controls the vehicle’s myriad features but also integrates with Whispers, the brand’s exclusive private members’ app, allowing owners to send destinations to the car, track its location, and even manage locking remotely.

Rear-seat passengers have not been forgotten. Rolls-Royce has elevated the experience with dual streaming screens, Bluetooth connectivity for private listening, and an upgraded Wi-Fi hotspot.

For audiophiles, the 18-speaker Bespoke Audio system has been further refined, turning the car’s aluminium chassis into a resonance chamber for deep, immersive sound.

At its core, the Ghost Series II is powered by Rolls-Royce’s legendary 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12, producing seamless waves of torque from just 1,600 rpm. This beast delivers the quintessential Rolls-Royce waftability, a sensation where the car glides over any surface with near-supernatural grace.

The Ghost also features other suspension wizardry, which include the Planar Suspension System that incorporates a unique Upper Wishbone Damper, electronically controlled shock absorbers, and self-levelling air struts to deliver an unparalleled ride quality.

The Flagbearer System uses cameras to scan the road ahead, with the suspension automatically adjusts to undulations before the car even encounters them.

Lastly, the Satellite Aided Transmission GPS data is used to predict terrain, ensuring the car is always in the optimal gear for smooth, uninterrupted performance.

For Rolls-Royce clientele, ownership is as much about individual expression as it is about engineering excellence. The Ghost Series II expands the possibilities of Bespoke, offering new customisation options that go beyond materials and trims.

Among them, the Illuminated Fascia, inspired by celestial movements, now allows owners to create their own constellation-like motif. Meanwhile, the Spirit of Ecstasy Clock Cabinet, featuring a polished stainless-steel figurine encased in glass, serves as a centrepiece of luxury within the cabin.

New material options also make their debut, including Grey-Stained Ash, a meticulously hand-stained open-pore wood infused with metallic particles for a shimmering effect. For those with an appreciation for fine textiles, Duality Twill, a rayon fabric derived from bamboo, offers a tactile alternative to traditional leather.

For those who demand an edgier interpretation of Rolls-Royce luxury, the Black Badge Ghost Series II presents a more rebellious alternative. This variant is the most powerful, technical, and driver-focused Black Badge model to date, featuring a unique lower grille design, darkened chrome elements and bespoke 22-inch forged wheels that hint at its 600 hp output.

The interior follows suit with high-contrast materials, aerospace-grade aluminium weaves, and a deepened exhaust note, delivering a more visceral driving experience while retaining Rolls-Royce’s famed refinement.

For those who desire more legroom without compromising on the Ghost’s driver-focused dynamics, the Ghost Extended Series II offers 170 mm of additional rear space, creating an even more indulgent rear cabin experience.

The Extended model also introduces Serenity Seating, inspired by private jet interiors, and a champagne cooler, pre-set to serve vintage and non-vintage champagne at their optimal temperatures of 6°C and 11°C, respectively. Even in a car built for driving pleasure, Rolls-Royce ensures that every passenger’s journey is equally exceptional.

For those interested in commissioning their own Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II, the model is now available in three expressions:  

  • Ghost Series II – S$1,858,888  
  • Ghost Extended Series II – S$2,078,888  
  • Black Badge Ghost Series II – S$2,168,888  

True to the brand’s ethos, no two Ghosts will ever be the same, as each owner will have the opportunity to shape their car into a unique reflection of their personality.

Rolls-Royce Debuts Black Badge Ghost Series II https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=277954 Fri, 11 Oct 2024 10:21:22 +0000 https://www.autoapp.sg/?p=277954 Hot off the press with the Ghost Series II, Rolls-Royce has also introduced the Black Badge Ghost Series II.


Billed as a “daring and powerful new expression” of the Black Badge lineage, it’s the chaotic, more rebellious side of Rolls-Royce.

Rolls-Royce Badge Ghost Series II

The Black Badge Ghost Series II is meant to be the most agile, driver-focused, and technical of its breed, but it’s also a lesson in the art of subtle drama. Blacked-out bits are done tastefully here, and the car still looks elegant without phasing into garish territory.

Under the bonnet, this 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 has been cranked up a notch. 29bhp and 50Nm of extra power compared to the standard Ghost Series II.

And for those moments when you’re feeling a little extra, there’s a ‘Low’ button on the gear selection stalk that lets you unleash the full suite of Black Badge technologies. Press the throttle down to 90%, and you’ll feel a 50% increase in gearshift speeds while being treated to a more throaty, rebellious exhaust note.

Rolls-Royce Badge Ghost Series II

To manage all that oomph, the Ghost is fitted with an all-wheel-drive, all-wheel-steering chassis. The Black Badge Planar Suspension system features a unique Upper Wishbone Damper unit.

What that means in layman’s terms is that the car glides gracefully; Rolls-Royce’s signature “magic carpet ride” is still intact, but with newfound agility that’s primed for those who want a little more from their drive.

The cabin has its own Black Badge touches too. Housing a black chrome Spirit of Ecstasy figurine alongside an analogue timepiece, the Clock Cabinet gets extra sophistication.

This sits next to the Central Information Display, which integrates Rolls-Royce’s new SPIRIT operating system.

As with all Black Badge models, this Ghost is as much about performance as it is about opulence. The interior wraps you in a cocoon of understated luxury, while small details like the black chrome finishes and plush materials remind you that you’re not just in any Rolls-Royce.

If you’re looking to make a bold statement, the Rolls-Royce Badge Ghost Series II is the car for you.
