Rolls-Royce has revealed the Ghost Series II, a bold yet elegant evolution of the brand’s most iconic nameplate.
With its “monolithic and self-assured” exterior, the Ghost Series II is a canvas for Bespoke commissions.
At the front, the design has been refined to highlight Rolls-Royce’s signature Pantheon Grille, and the sleek new headlight graphics with updated daytime running lights give the car a fresh, modern presence.
You’ll also notice the rear has been inspired by the Spectre, with newly configured tail lamps that add a touch of mystique to its already commanding presence. Buyers can now opt for two fresh 22-inch, nine-spoke wheel designs.
One of the exciting additions to the Ghost Series II is the new exterior colour: Mustique Blue. Named after the Caribbean island of Mustique and inspired by the 1929 Phantom II Continental prototype, this new hue shimmers with glass and mica flakes, reflecting sunlight as if it were “bouncing off a tropical sea”.
In case this isn’t what you were looking for, Mustique Blue joins Rolls-Royce’s extensive palette of over 44,000 colours, allowing for endless personalisation.
True to its heritage, the Ghost Series II is built for driving. Powered by a 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine, this beast delivers 563bhp and 850Nm of torque, with full ‘waftability’ from as low as 1,600rpm.
This four-wheel drive limo glides thanks to Rolls-Royce’s Flagbearer System, which scans the road ahead to prepare the suspension for any bumps. The Satellite Aided Transmission uses GPS data to select the perfect gear for cornering too.
Inside is why most people buy a Rolls-Royce, and the new Ghost Series II doesn’t disappoint. You’re greeted by a world of opulence that draws from the recently updated Cullinan.
Rolls-Royce has introduced its new SPIRIT operating system, while the new Illuminated Fascia, spanning the width of the passenger side, evokes the night sky with its celestial-inspired design. The sound experience has also been upgraded with an 18-speaker, 1,400-watt audio system.
Rear passengers aren’t left out either; they can now connect up to two streaming devices, pair them with Bluetooth headphones, and enjoy the ride with Wi-Fi hotspots and USB-C charging ports.
The Ghost Series II also introduces a new open-pore wood, Grey Stained Ash. Hand-stained and enriched with microscopic metallic particles, it offers a shimmering, contemporary twist. It took Rolls-Royce more than four years to perfect this technique.
Another new material making its debut is the Duality Twill fabric, a luxurious rayon textile made from bamboo and embroidered with a striking ‘Duality’ graphic. This design reimagines the iconic interlinked ‘R’ initials and is no small feat, with up to 2.2 million stitches and 17.7km of thread going into a full Duality Twill interior, a process that takes up to 20 hours to complete.
For those looking for more customisation, the Duality Twill can be tailored with 55 different thread colours, and customers can choose from base twill textiles in Lilac, Chocolate, or Black. If that’s not your style, you can opt for Placed Perforation, a technique that sees unique designs crafted using fine perforations in the seat leather.
Alongside the Ghost Series II, Rolls-Royce is also offering the Ghost Extended Series II, which gives rear passengers 170mm more space without compromising the car’s sleek silhouette. Only the rear doors and apertures are extended, ensuring that the Ghost remains graceful in looks.
Rolls-Royce continues to set the benchmark for what it means to create a truly bespoke driving experience.
