DUBAI: Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II and Black Badge Ghost Series II have been unveiled in Dubai, underscoring the brand's commitment to unparalleled luxury and cutting-edge innovation.
The launch event, held at the Milos Garden in Atlantis Royal, showcased the two models’ seamless blend of engineering prowess and bespoke craftsmanship.
The Ghost Series II builds upon Rolls-Royce’s iconic lineage, offering an updated monolithic design and driver-focused engineering. In contrast, the daring Black Badge Ghost Series II appeals to clients seeking bold aesthetics and enhanced performance.
“Dubai embodies luxury, innovation, and ambition,” said James Crichton, Regional Director of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Middle East & Africa. “The Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II aligns perfectly with this vibrant city’s spirit.”
Innovative Design
Ghost Series II features a cleaner, contemporary look with an illuminated Pantheon grille, updated headlights, and sleek daytime running lights.
Chrome accents and a redesigned Spirit of Ecstasy ornament add to its commanding presence. The bold new Mustique Blue, shimmering with mica flakes, joins a palette of over 44,000 colours.
Inside, the Ghost Series II redefines luxury with an innovative SPIRIT system. The pillar-to-pillar glass panel integrates bespoke digital customisation and Whispers app connectivity, blending analogue elegance with modern technology.
Black Badge Aesthetic
The Black Badge Ghost Series II enhances its signature boldness with darkened chrome elements and unique 22-inch forged wheels. The interior showcases meticulous craftsmanship with Technical Carbon surfaces and diamond-weave patterns, ensuring a sophisticated yet daring appeal.
For the first time, black door handles and other noir-inspired details heighten its aesthetic. Clients can further personalise their vehicles with options like Placed Perforation and Duality Twill fabric.
Performance Engineering
At the heart of Ghost Series II lies a 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine, delivering near-silent power. Black Badge Ghost Series II offers an enhanced engine tuning, increasing power by 29PS and torque by 50Nm.
The Planar Suspension System, combined with Satellite Aided Transmission and Flagbearer technology, ensures an unmatched driving experience. The Black Badge version introduces a sportier suspension and exhaust profile for dynamic agility.
