Rolls Royce Ghost Series II.

Rolls Royce will launch the Ghost Series II in India on Friday, November 7th, 2014. The updated Rolls Royce Ghost was first displayed at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year.
 
The Rolls Royce Ghost Series II gets subtly updated exteriors, a whole range of new options and some interior tweaks. The 563bhp V12 motor continues with no changes, however, Rolls Royce says the updated Ghost’s cornering ability, ride quality, rear stability, and driver feedback are all enhanced as compared to its predecessor.
 
Exterior styling updates include reshaped front headlights with new LED daytime-running lights, revised surfacing, including on the bonnet, and revised bumpers to give the Ghost greater visual width and height. New paint and wheel options are other additions. 
 
On the inside, the seats are new, with better electronic adjustments and heating options. The rear seats now get varied seating positions. Tweaked instruments and new trims are another addition on the Ghost Series II, as are the two new wood veneers. It also gets enhanced infotainment system, which is aided by on-board Wi-Fi and a new 10.25 inch multimedia screen coupled to a touchpad controller for infotainment.  The Ghost Series II’s transmission is linked to the navigation system, which is expected to allow the car to pre-empt the gear selection.
 
The Rolls Royce Ghost Series II is expected to be priced slightly higher than the current car.
