With a starting price of RM2mil, the Ghost Series II continues the legacy of the original Ghost which has been successful in Malaysia since its introduction in 2009. This is the standard Ghost; a long wheelbase version is available in other markets.
“Malaysian customers have embraced Ghost as the benchmark super-luxury saloon car, along with the Phantom. The Ghost Series II continues with an even higher level of bespoke exclusivity, quality and perfection that is quintessentially Rolls-Royce. New exclusive finishes, wheels and interior veneer options allow for greater scope of bespoke personalisation to express our customers’ individuality,” said Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, general manager sales, Asia Pacific, Sven Ritter.
Also present at the launch was Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Kuala Lumpur, managing director, Datuk Michael Ong.
The Ghost Series II features a re-imagined front face and bumpers which present a wider, more dynamic stance along with a new bonnet design among others.
Under the hood lies a V12 engine which outputs 563hp at 5,250rpm and a maximum torque of 780Nm at 1,500rpm. The car has a kerb weight of 2470kg and a wheelbase of 3295mm.
It may be a heavy car but it’s no slouch as it takes 4.9sec to go from 0-100kph.
Inside you will find re-designed front seats and comes with the high-grade full grain leather as standard and bespoke customisation now includes two new crafted crossband veneers - Paldao and Walnut Burr.
Technology-wise, the Ghost Series II has improved its Night Vision system to recognise animals as well as pedestrians; an improved voice control system which recognises full sentences and the Satellite Aided Transmission, a technology that utilises GPS and mapping data to ensure the car is always in the correct gear when negotiating turns, exits and roundabouts.
Quill Motorcars Sdn Bhd is the authorised dealer for Rolls-Royce in Malaysia.
