An all-new model for 2011, the Rolls-Royce Ghost undergoes only minor changes for 2011. Its Bluetooth and entertainment systems are updated, there are new interior trim colours, and new “Bespoke Commissions” allow buyers to further personalize their vehicles.
The Ghost uses a twin-turbocharged 6.6-litre V12 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Each car is built to the customer’s specifications, but standard or available features include 19-inch alloy wheels, four-zone automatic climate control, automatic air recirculation, xenon headlamps, self-righting wheel centres, deep-pile carpets, lambs-wool floor mats, integrated umbrella holders, panoramic sunroof, cool box with champagne glasses, veneer picnic tables, 12.5 GB hard-drive stereo, rear-seat entertainment system, air suspension system, rear, front and top view cameras, Night Vision camera, head-up display, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, active cruise control, leather upholstery, and grain-matched wood veneer trim. The hood, grille and windshield surround can be finished in contrasting Silver Satin if desired, and the three-passenger second-row seat can be upgraded to two-passenger lounge seating with heated and cooled massaging seats.
