Ghost [Official] Rolls-Royce Ghost (2021-)

[275others]

Yup...350k worth of plastic

There are some things in the Ghost interior that cheapen the overall expensive ambiance.

1) The black plastic column storks and also the shiny piano black plastic spokes and inner ring on the steering wheel look low rent for such an expensive car. The Bentley Flying Spur has much nicer and expensive looking stitched dual tone leather wheel and also beautiful metal knurled stalks in comparison.

2) The center console has also got nasty looking cheapish shiny black piano plastic trim around the HVAC and radio controls and tiny black shiny buttons. Compare to the Bentley which has gorgeous center console details in metal/chrome and stunning wood and stitched dual colour leather.

If you’re willing to pay the price RR will use whatever material you want.

The Bentley steering wheel is beautiful, shame the buttons come straight from a Golf.

The air vents are positioned quite low in the Bentley's central console. Far from optimal.

Honestly , for 350k , I did expect more in the interior...

If MB will get the Maybach W223 right , they will eat Ghost sales...

This top dogs only get the prices up , while tech ,design and quality remains the same.

The floor wasn’t Ssslippery but somehow I found myself on the floor after reading that. You cannot tell my facial expresssion...but I can asssure you I am not rolling about laughing..

First drive review: Next-gen Rolls-Royce Ghost offers restrained indulgence, sublime ride - Your Test Driver

Walking into a zero entry pool, you start your journey with one step, slowly and serenely you’re emerge in the experience. It’s equal parts engaging and relaxing. That same experience is replicated with the new, next-generation Rolls-Royce Ghost. With restrained proportions and purposeful lines...

Orange piping in the cabin suits the Ghost and Dawn.

[Deleted member 54650]

With the new Ghost, Rolls-Royce has only taken over the Spirit of Ecstasy, umbrellas, and technology from the Phantom

the new one is a nice car sure to be admired when you encounter one in the flesh but it is not as easy on the eyes as the 2010-2020 model

You're mistaken, the bottom one is the extended wheelbase version, not the regular version. If you click the second link you can see the area where the license plate sits is a continuation of the grill, which only occurs in the extended wheelbase version. I attached two photos so you can see the difference. If you're gonna compare the profile of the original Ghost and the new one you should compare the correct versions.

Thread cleaned from off topic posts.

This is the last time that I'll be saying enough with the personal attacks on each other...

@275others if you see @Merc1 profile he actually owns a BMW and as well as a Mercedes and Lexus. So you could say he is not really a fan boy or he would only own a Mercedes Benz.

Okay lets get back to the old mans car.

The dials kinda look good, I like that they haven't fully embraced an entire TFT/digital screen for the instruments and still link them to the past by surrounding the gauges in chrome strips.

The star effect section on the passenger side of the dash has me feeling mixed. In one way I like the Ghost emblem intertwined with the nice colour effect, but then I think the small stars look like flickers of dust fluff on the dash.

Why?

It’s like they added mass for the sake of adding it. It does nothing to enhance the look and actually makes the car look bulky and ungainly. Hopefully the lifespan is shorter than 10 years or they clean it up with the facelift.

The headlightz area bothered me,like unfinished.

The car looks so goofy and stupid it's laughable. Each pic is worst than the one before.

[dalab]

It is only less sporty, more luxurious, imposing and ostentatious, a beautiful car and repeating the same negative and exaggerated epithets over and over again does not make them a reality.

 

[Merc1]

I agree, which means the same goes for what you keep repeating about it being XYZ doesn't make it so either. That said you can't tell anyone how the car looks to them. The exterior styling (a fail) has nothing to do with how luxurious it is, which is beyond question.

[martinbo]

^ It's worthwhile noting that the exterior styling is a fail to you (and a handful more) but not to others.
I think it looks great and it'll likely look even better in the metal.

 

[Merc1]

I honestly don't see the significance of that Martin, it's a personal thing for each individual. It isn't going to change for anyone based on what the majority or minority thinks.

M

 

[martinbo]

There's no significance beyond exactly that: some people do and some people don't. Is there something I'm missing regarding you repeating your criticisms whenever someone presents a favourable view here?

 

[Merc1]

Is there something I’m missing when the same favorable viewpoint is presented repeatedly?

Aggressive and mean yet elegant.
