A 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost, the brand’s realisation of the idea of “post-opulence” originally glimpsed in 2021, met the antique beauties. The Ghost of today is more subdued and sophisticated. The Rolls-Royce driving experience has been perfected with the creation of Ghost, which was built using the company’s devoted “Architecture of Luxury.” The inside is devoid of superfluous decorations and has broad, straightforward leatherwork and the longest, most straight stitch lines ever seen in a motor vehicle. Every component has also been designed to make Ghost the quietest vehicle ever with the most exciting lighting-related design elements. Designers enhanced the Starlight Headliner’s impact both inside and out by encircling the word “Ghost” on the fascia with 850 dazzling stars. On the exterior, a new feature with an illuminated classic Rolls-Royce grill is a subdued “light touch.”
“Rolls-Royce Ghost continues to be one of our family’s most well-liked members. Over the previous century, and particularly the last 20 years that constitute the Goodwood age, no name has been more successful for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Sharing how Rolls-Royce has changed over the last century while retaining its reputation as the world’s leading luxury brand is intriguing. President of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Americas, Martin Fritches
