Ghost is entered through substantial doors. Like the Phantom, even the Ghost gets Teflon-coated umbrellas housed with the front doors. Occupants for the rear seat enter through the traditional rear-hinged coach doors, opening to a generous 83 degrees and the same can be closed at the touch of a button.

Interiors feel nice and airy with natural light in plenty which is further enhanced by the optional Panorama Sunroof, which extends from the front into the rear compartment. The airconditioning features a four-zone climate control which can be individually tailored to each passenger's requirements, with separate controls for front and rear. As expected the Ghost also features an audio system that would delight any audiophile. 600 Watts of sound are delivered through a 10-channel amplifier and 16 speakers, including two floor-mounted subwoofers. USB and auxiliary inputs allow for the integration of external audio devices and a 12.5 GB hard drive enables storage of music files from USB or CD player sources.
One thing that Rolls-Royce has been bullish about is how it is projecting the Ghost as a driver's car. Just below the Spirit of Ecstasy lies an all new 6.6 litre twin-turbo V12 engine. Featuring direct injection, it produces 565 PS and a stump pulling 780 Nm of torque. This kind of fire power is enough to propel the Ghost to a 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. All that power is transmitted through an eight-speed, shift-by-wire, automatic ZF gearbox. To take care of the handling the Ghost is built around a steel monocoque body, which means there is no separation of chassis and body. Coupled with doublewishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension work with an intelligent, four-cornered, air-suspension system and electronic variable damping the Ghost can shift between riding on a bed of air to a corner carver. The Ghost also has a series of complex electronic aids like Anti-Roll Stabilisation, Dynamic Brake Control and Dynamic Stability Control, including Dynamic Traction Control and Cornering Brake Control. These individual technologies work together under dual Integrated Chassis Management systems giving the Ghost amazing poise and handling.
Rolls-Royce definitely seems to have a winner on its hands and it seems the Ghost is all set to break sales records for the RR marque. So if you are looking to move up to a Rolls, or want a garage mate for your Phantom then the Ghost is a logical selection. Priced at Rs. 2.5 Crore in India, the Ghost might be a pricey asset, but it's worth its weight in gold.
