NEW Rolls-Royce Ghost: The ULTIMATE Luxury Car? 4K

So, you're looking for a Rolls Royce, you're looking for extreme

luxury

, but the Phantom is too ostentatious and you don't want the off-road Cullinan. What do you prefer? The obvious choice is the smaller one, more affordable but no less desirable. Rolls Royce Ghost The new Ghost has been revised from the ground up, while the previous version was built on the same steel monocoque chassis as the BMW 7 Series. This new model, known as the first Goodwood Ghost, has all new aluminum underpinnings to which Rolls Royce refers. As the architecture of the

luxury

sounds very pretentious but promises to be lighter and tighter and means the Phantom can't be accused of simply being a fancy BMW, they haven't gone too crazy with the design, the previous Phantom had a boxy look, almost architectural. but with this they have introduced a couple of subtle curves that give it a much more contemporary assertive look.

The pantheon grill is still in place, but for the first time it is very subtly illuminated. They actually have a couple of glow LEDs on the inside and what you get is a slightly glowing effect, but they have tried to tone it down slightly by giving the lights a double finish on the inside, they have a subtle brushed finish while on the outside It has a polish. finish which again helps reduce that glare factor and if you don't like it you can of course turn it off completely in the grille theme. It now has a slightly beveled design that is designed to divert air over the top. the car to reduce wind noise as for the spirit of ecstasy, well, on the previous car the hood ended approximately here with a slightly unsightly closed line right there, but now the hood goes all the way to the end of the car, which means that the spirit now lives in One unbroken, seamless piece of metal.

These lights are new too. They are now further apart to emphasize the width of the car. The car itself is 30 millimeters wider than before and also has a new LED light signature that gives it a much more confident and assertive appearance. Look in profile, the new Ghost uses a simple three-box shape, every inch of the body is constructed of aluminum. Look closely at the roof in particular and you will notice a complete lack of closed lines, this gives the impression that it is constructed from a single continuous piece. of metal with no visible gaps thanks to a process that requires four craftsmen to hand-weld the body simultaneously now that looks and sounds incredibly cool, but introduces a potential leak problem without any gutter.

Rolls Royce would have found it very difficult to control the flow of rainwater and the last thing you want to end up with is water inside your car, but they came up with a solution: they measured the size of the raindrops and actually sent a team of people to measure how big the raindrops were about four. millimeters if you're interested and then raised the frame of this window exactly that amount, creating a very elegant and natural looking gutter that allows rainwater to flow back and down towards the C-pillar, another great piece of engineering with the that you may be familiar with.

These rear hinged doors, but they have been improved, they are now called effortless doors, so they give you a little assistance with a motor to withstand the tension, it also works on the front, if I pull this, the doors just me they help. I don't have to work too hard and when you want to close the doors just give it a little push and it turns off by itself. Same for the fronts, just a little push and the car does all the hard work it's probably doing. put a lot of people out of work, but in addition to that, you also get the well-known Rolls-Royce umbrellas that you always need in case of bad weather, the interior of the

ghost

has always been luxurious, opulent, calm and that has not changed since The Rolls New generation Royce still has the best rugs on the game bar.

None are so comfortable and so deep that you'll want to walk barefoot all the time. Plus, the car has all the usual luxury occupants, including this incredible starlight headliner. which now features shooting stars, very smart, plus you have wifi, you have a motorized picnic table that folds up, as well as a rear seat entertainment system, all very very cool, on top of that you must have a refrigerator to champagne, right? And they actually have one, so it folds up to reveal a couple of champagne glasses, although sadly there's only room for one bottle of champagne, but it's a smart refrigerator.

They consulted sommeliers, who told them that there are two optimal serving temperatures for different Champagnes, so vintage Champagnes have an optimal serving temperature of around 11 degrees and non-vintage has an optimal serving temperature of six degrees, so you can Choose whether you're chilling the good stuff or the cheap stuff. The rumors that this refuses to call prosecco are unconfirmed at this time, but um. You will be surprised: silence is very important in any Rolls Royce and the new Ghost should excel here. The windows are double glazed. The screen and floors are double skinned and filled with felt to reduce road noise.

In total, more than 100 kilograms of soundproofing material. They are used on the doors, roof, tires and within the architecture of this car. Rolls-Royce determined that early prototypes were actually too quiet, resulting in disorientation of its passengers. To overcome this, engineers tuned each component to a common resonant frequency, the seats now resonate in the same way as the body, the trunk features ports under the parcel shelf to allow disruptive sound waves to escape, all which results in better overall harmony. A cabin that is quiet but not too quiet up front. Everything is recognizable as a

ghost

, but there are some very notable changes that elevate it above the previous generation.

I mentioned the Starlight headliner now with a shooting star, but they actually changed the dash to mimic that you now have your own Starlight system here on the dash with 900 individual lights plus an area that allows you to customize it yourself to choose any writing, motif or family emblem that you like. The wood is also new on the previous car. The wood was coated with lacquer, which gave it a slightly glassy, ​​maybe sticky feel, but it's open so when you touch it, it actually feels like real wood, plus you have the navigation system that is completely uncovered.

The gauges here are completely digital, although they look analog thanks to this inclusion of a metal ring around each of the individual gauges, talk about metal. Listen to this, everything here is real wood or real metal, you can hear the quality where everything feels expensive, it feels good, it will sound expensive too. The new Phantom uses a 1,300-watt amplifier that drives 18 channels, including conventional cone speakers and exciter speakers. These units are attached to the surface of an object; In this case, the starlight ceiling turns the ceiling into a giant speaker. In fact, the body of the car works as a speaker.

The size and shape of the seal have been specifically designed to improve audio and performance. as a resonance chamber that effectively transforms the car into a giant subwoofer, let's talk about the powertrain, the new Phantom will use Rolls Royce's twin-turbo V12 engine that will generate 571 horsepower and 850 newton meters of torque, the Phantom will also have all-wheel drive and four-wheel steering, so it should go and corner well. Naughta 62 promises to take just 4.8 seconds, while top speed is limited to 155 miles per hour, meaning the Phantom shouldn't be far behind. Big changes then, but this new car should stay true to everything the Phantom name means luxury, refinement and comfort in a car that's as enjoyable for drivers as it is for those who want to ride in the back.

Of course, we will reserve judgment until we experience it in the wild, but based on this experience, the new incarnation holds promise. be an exciting evolutionary step for an iconic brand that
