Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II Rolls into Indian Capital City, New Delhi
 
New Delhi, Delhi, India

  • Ghost Series II well-received at customer event in New Delhi, following successful launch in Mumbai
  • India one of the top five markets in Asia Pacific for Ghost
  • Ultra luxury marque has the largest dealer network across India 
                     
Following the successful launch of Ghost Series II in Mumbai last November, the super-luxury marque rolled into the Indian capital last evening and received a gala reception at The Grand New Delhi. 
 
Since its launch in 2009, Ghost has become the ultimate symbol of success for India’s leading entrepreneurs.  It counts among its clientele, Captains of Industry, entrepreneurs and successful businesspeople who have contributed to the growth and dynamism of India’s economy.  Last evening’s event was attended by Delhi’s A-listers in the corporate fraternity and society.  

“Ghost has always been a leading choice for our customers in India, as a definitive symbol of success and for its unparalleled luxury.  Ghost Series II will give them an ownership experience that will be even more rewarding,” explained Sven Ritter, General Manager for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Asia Pacific.  

“India is a key market for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, we are the only ultra luxury automotive marque to have five dealerships across this country.  With India’s increasing growth in ultra high net worth individuals and our extensive dealership network in place, we feel in a strong position in the long-term,” he added.
 
Ghost Series II – changes at a glance
 
Evolutionary design

Ghost Series II presents significant recent technological updates in an exterior package that represents evolutionary changes to Ghost’s timeless aesthetic.
 
  • A contemporary re-imagining of Ghost’s front face; re-engineered and re-designed LED headlights are framed by day-time running lights.
  • Revised surface treatments including re-sculptured bumpers that present a wider, more dynamic stance.
  • A new bonnet design featuring tapered ‘wake channel’ emanating from the Spirit of Ecstasy that hints at Ghost Series II’s dynamism. 
  • The waft line leans further forwards, giving further expression to Ghost’s dynamic driving experience.
  • New paint and wheel options giving customers greater scope for Bespoke personalization.
 
Interior design
 
  • Re-designed front seats include electronically adjustable thigh supports and depth adjustment. Rear seats have been subtly re-angled to augment effortless communication with fellow passengers.
  • The clock fascia and instrument dials are enhanced with the addition of polished metal chaplets that evoke premium watch design.
  • Option of extending natural grain leather to the A and C pillars.
  • The scope for Bespoke customisation is extended with the introduction of two new, exquisitely crafted veneers: Paldao and Walnut Burr Crossband.
                  
Technological and engineering enhancements
 
  • Re-designed LED headlights incorporating the latest technologies. A whiter, brighter light augments driver safety whilst electronic reflectors move in the direction of travel in response to steering-wheel turns. New anti-glare technology deflects light when a car approaches in the other direction, giving Ghost Series II drivers the benefit of full-beam headlights at all times.
  • Suspension enhancements include re-engineered front and rear struts, new steering gear and adjusted dampers that increase the car’s cornering ability when the Dynamic Driving Package is specified.
  • New hydraulic rear axle bearings enhance ride quality and rear stability whilst reducing vibrations and cabin intrusions.
  • All Ghost Series II motor cars feature Satellite Aided Transmission as standard – a technology that utilizes GPS and mapping data to ensure the car is always in the correct gear when negotiating turns, motorway exists and roundabouts.
