Ghost Rider

IT may sound somewhat strange to say this but the Rolls-Royce Ghost has become more comfortable. Rolls-Royce is renowned for its "waftability" and it is expected that each car bearing the Spirit of Ecstasy flying lady atop its imposing grille will present ride comfort in its most developed form.

So it is surprising to hear that the recently updated Ghost has managed to elevate the quality of its famed magic carpet ride. On the exterior of the Series II, the changes have been reserved for the front end, where there are new LED headlights with daytime running lights and chrome inserts in the air dam below.

The long bonnet which used to be flat now gets a "wake channel" with a chrome strip. The re-shaped bumpers are a bit more subtle and the front fenders are slightly widened for a bolder look.
