The cabin seamlessly blends state-of-the-art digital technologies with analog craftsmanship. The Spirit operating system, which integrates the unique Whispers private members app, is housed in a pillar-to-pillar glass screen that allows owners to remotely control location monitoring, navigation, and car locking. A redesigned rear-seat infotainment system with two screens for independent streaming, Bluetooth headphone connectivity, and seat controls for heating, cooling, and massaging are among the entertainment and connectivity enhancements. Additionally, Rolls-Royce has unveiled a new interior material called “Grey-Stained Ash” and the Spirit of Ecstasy Clock Cabinet.

Performance and Engine
With its 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 petrol engine and eight-speed gearbox, the Ghost Series II effortlessly powers an all-wheel-drive and all-wheel-steering system. The renowned Rolls-Royce ride quality is guaranteed by the planar suspension system, which includes an upper wishbone damper unit, self-leveling air struts, and electronically controlled shock absorbers. To improve driving dynamics, the satellite-assisted transmission optimizes gear selection based on impending road curvature, while the flagbearer system detects the road ahead and adjusts the suspension in real-time.
The Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II solidifies its position as the pinnacle of luxury automobiles in India with its blend of elegance, innovation, and legacy.
