(March 4, 2014) GENEVA — Rolls-Royce Motor Cars today unveiled the Ghost Series II to the world. The Ghost Series II delivers the latest industry-leading technology from Rolls-Royce clad in a subtle re-design. The launch of Ghost Series II consolidates Ghost’s position as the most popular car in the $300,000 class, and as a cornerstone of Rolls-Royce’s continuing success.

On unveiling Ghost Series II at the Geneva Auto Show, Chief Executive Officer of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Torsten Müller-Ötvös said, “The Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II is the ultimate entrepreneur’s business tool. Following the worldwide success of its predecessor, I am confident that this re-designed and updated Rolls-Royce will continue to attract increasing numbers of new customers to the marque, in particular business entrepreneurs seeking an oasis of calm in a frenetic business world.”



Protecting the popularity of Ghost’s iconic design while delivering the latest Rolls-Royce technology to its exacting customers, the subtle re-design of Ghost Series II begins from the front.

Re-sculpted LED headlights encircled by daytime running lights lend Ghost Series II a more dynamic visual signature and blend perfectly with revised surface treatments to the front of the car. A tapered "wake channel" on the hood, emanating from the Spirit of Ecstasy, evokes the sight of a jet’s vapor trail or wake of a fast luxury yacht and hints at the car’s dynamism.

Subtle re-sculpting of Ghost’s bumpers creates a stronger stance and a sense of extra width and height, whilst the contemporary aesthetic is further enhanced with the addition of chrome inserts to the front air intakes, which now feed more air cooling to the front brakes. In addition, the famous waft line has been re-designed on Ghost Series II to lean further forwards emphasizing the car’s effortless dynamism.

“As a design statement, Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II continues to transcend time,” said Giles Taylor, director of design for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “This is ensured by the deft treatment of features such as the new headlights, the new wake channel on the bonnet and surfacing that lend the car a more dynamic, purposeful stance and hint at the cutting edge technology inside. I am very pleased with the overall sense of design harmony.”

Inside, Ghost Series II delivers on its outward appearance. The ultimate contemporary combination of luxury, technology and connectivity available to the successful entrepreneur on the move today, Ghost Series II’s onboard technology ensures it is an oasis of calm in a busy, connected world where he or she can do business in peace.

Its suite of technologies ensures that both business and leisure time in the car are a super-luxurious effortless experience. On-board Wi-Fi makes Ghost Series II the most connected, luxurious place in which to conduct business on the move, while Satellite Aided Transmission (SAT), debuted in Wraith last year, enhances the car’s dynamism — ensuring the car automatically adapts to its surroundings augmenting the drive experience.

Updates to navigation systems and the car/user interface ensures accessing Ghost’s features remains an effortless experience, while optional Bespoke Audio — the most exhaustively engineered and finest audio system in automotive history — brings new levels of aural satisfaction to passengers.
