Rolls Royce Ghost: A 2nd opinion on the most expensive car we've ever driven - BizNews

This is the new Ghost, the ‘baby’ Rolls as it were, the one to take when the chauffeur’s got the day off or you’re headed to a place where parking is tight. Or, if you’re a bit mental, you could describe it as the one for our economically challenging times. The evolution over Ghost 1 is slight, measured, but obsessively attentive to even the smallest detail. New LED headlights and daytime running lights sit on the completely new face, from which ‘waft lines’ flow down the Ghost’s flanks. Rolls Royce developed their own sound system for the Ghost, because why lower the tone (excuse the pun) with a system from an external supplier. Umbrella’s pop out of the front doors, the back doors are rear hinged for ease of access, of course. The seats are described by Rolls Royce as their best ever. The leather is soft as you’d like, fashioned from bull hide because cow hide is often blemished by stretch marks. There’s an almost infinite level of customisation available, from a completely unique dashboard (its finger-print unique), to lamb’s wool carpets, to a champagne fridge, to custom door sill inlays. But honestly that’s all fluff around the edges of what Rolls Royce do best. Not this modern day nonsense of throwing technology at customer, allowing for a million suspension settings, and infinitesimal adjustment to throttle response. Source: www.biznews.com
