Those in business or those integrated into the exclusive world of fashion and entertainment know that the vehicle you drive (or are driven in) sets the standard for the life you live. A luxury vehicle equals success. A single glance at the finely sculpted bumper and valance of the Ghost leaves the impression that it is floating across the road in an air of unsurpassed confidence.
Before I even sat down, its design demanded my attention, the eye-catching lines stretching from roof to tail add a sense of unquestionable sophistication, those same lines are matched in color throughout the interior’s stitching. However, what truly captured my attention while experiencing the Ghost’s newest evolution was the sense of space and power, all crafted with a level of detail now seemingly standard in any Rolls-Royce vehicle.
The new Ghost offers streamlined entry with doors that open electronically from the inside and out—ideal for making a grand entrance or assisting your partner into their seat. I found that the drive was inevitably as innovative as it was exciting. Cruising through the city, listening to the 6.5-liter, twin-turbo V12 engine purring along, I was not the only one to marvel, heads were turning every corner. The fine detail, seemingly standard in Rolls-Royce vehicles, allows for continued luxury. Spacious seats lit by starlight, a refrigerator built into the trunk for easy access to the passenger seats, and a Rolls-Royce umbrella, artfully stashed in the passenger doors, the only thing I missed was the Phantom’s humidor.
The Ghost easily proves its worth as one of the ultimate upscale rides…especially when all of New York City is your automotive red carpet.
