I was in awe and stunned when I first set eyes on the new Ghost.”
The air of distinction that embodies the Rolls-Royce brand is simply unmatched in the automotive world. And to take the wheel of the new Rolls-Royce Ghost is to embark on an unparalleled driving experience.
This became apparent last July when Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Vancouver hosted the official unveiling of the new Ghost in Vancouver.
Ghost is the most technologically advanced and the most successful Rolls-Royce model thus far in the company’s storied 116-year history.
“Rolls-Royce is the absolute pinnacle of automobiles,” says Aly Jiwani, vice president of regional operations at OpenRoad Auto Group.
Purchasing this vehicle is not merely like buying a car—these are unique pieces, he adds: “They are commissioned. When our customers purchase one of these vehicles they get it exactly as they want it. It’s a piece of art, for sure.”
The new Ghost reflects the Rolls-Royce catchphrase “post-opulence” in its design philosophy. This means all the latest technology features are included, but they are presented in a more subtle and less opulent way— a nod to a pandemic-inspired “post-opulent” era.
The Ghost is an all-wheel-drive and all-wheel-steering masterpiece. It is equipped with a 6.75-litre, twin-turbo V12 engine, offering the driver 563 hp. Ghost glides effortlessly with the world’s first Planar Suspension system that significantly increases its seamless agility.
“I was in awe and stunned when I first set eyes on the new Ghost,” Jiwani says of this latest rendition.“The car just speaks for itself—and is so beautiful.”
For the magnificent new Ghost, the collective of design, engineering and craftsmanship all come together in perfect harmony. The team sets new standards in customer-centricity as it looks to the future and the next generation of clients.
It’s a truly unique automobile: “There is no base model,” adds Jiwani.
“Our pinnacle is our Phantom; that’s our flagship. But everything from [models] Cullinan, Ghost, Dawn and Wraith—they are all top-of-the-line cars and all unique. All five Rolls-Royce models are spectacular.”
Poet John Keats once prophesied, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.”
Rolls-Royce serves as testament to that statement.
勞斯萊斯巔峰之作
勞斯萊斯絕對是汽車業界的巔峰之作。”
勞斯萊斯（Rolls-Royce）與眾不同的氣質在汽車業界獨樹一幟。緊握全新的勞斯萊斯幽靈（Rolls-Royce Ghost）的方向盤，我開始了一次無與倫比的駕駛體驗。
幽靈於2021年7月正式亮相，是勞斯萊斯公司116年以來技術最先進、最成功的車型。
OpenRoad汽車集團區域運營副總裁Aly Jiwani說：“勞斯萊斯絕對是汽車業界的巔峰之作，客戶購買它不僅僅是擁有一輛車，更是獨一無二的珍貴作品。他們得到的正是内心想要的東西，這絕對是一件藝術品。”
新款幽靈是一個全輪驅動和全輪轉向的傑作，體現出“Post-Opulent”的設計理念。它配備了6.75升雙渦輪增壓V12發動機，為駕駛員提供563馬力。該款車滑行毫不費力，世界上第一個Planar懸掛系統大大增加了其無縫的靈活性。
“當我第一次看到新款幽靈時，我感到敬畏和震驚，”他說，“不言而喻–它是如此有型和華麗。”
最新款幽靈是設計、工程與工藝的完美融合。勞斯萊斯團隊在以客戶為中心方面設定了新的標準，因為他們著眼於未來和下一代客戶。
這是一款真正獨特的汽車。
“沒有普通車型，”Jiwani補充說。“我們的巔峰是幻影，那是我們的旗艦作品，從庫裡南、幽靈、黎明到Wraith也都是頂級汽車，對特定消費者來說是獨一無二的。所有五種勞斯萊斯車型都令人嘆爲觀止。”
詩人John Keats曾預言：“美麗的東西是永遠的快樂。”
勞斯萊斯證實了這一說法。
