New Ghost is the result of in-depth dialogue with Rolls-Royce’s diverse and global customer base. Many of them asked the marque to create a motor car that provides the indulgence of enhanced rear space with no compromise to driving dynamics.
Ghost Extended answers this customer demand by creating a product
with duality of purpose that augments both business and lifestyle requirements.”
Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive
Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
INTRODUCTION
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars announces new Ghost Extended, offering the indulgence of enhanced rear seating space with no compromise to Ghost’s driving dynamics.
Ghost Extended is the product of an exhaustive process of consultation with a new generation of Rolls-Royce clients, with intriguing interest in this model seen across the country.
This global, highly dynamic group of entrepreneurs expressed a desire
for a chauffeur-driven business tool for the week that can transform into a
serenely comfortable and dynamic self-driven saloon at the weekend. Ghost
Extended is the response. First customer deliveries will be made in the first
quarter of 2021.
DESIGN
Ghost Extended offers 170mm more space than Ghost, providing more rear legroom than any four-seat sedan. Customer centricity has informed every step of the development process.
A key learning was that Ghost Extended customers wanted no compromise to Ghost’s
pure, minimalist design. The marque’s designers worked to cloak the extra
length by only extending the rear door and body around the rear door apertures,
preserving the lines of the car.
TECHNOLOGY
Rear Suite Serenity
A suite of enhancements to the rear of the
cabin reflects Ghost Extended’s flexibility. For the first time, a reclining Serenity
Seat can be specified, offering a new dimension of rear seat comfort akin to a
business jet cabin environment.
The rear cabin also provides the perfect environment to transition from business to leisure. To enhance this, a Champagne fridge is provided between the rear seats and has been developed with exacting attention to the needs of the Rolls-Royce client. To achieve this, the marque’s engineers consulted with a Master Sommelier.
They learned that the optimum
serving temperatures of non-vintage Champagne is around six degrees centigrade
and vintage Champagnes is around 11 degrees centigrade. To that end, the
refrigerator operates two cooling modes, chilling to six degrees and 11
degrees.
Technology Without Obtrusion
Ghost is the most technologically advanced Rolls-Royce ever created. For Ghost Extended’s entrepreneurial customers, access to WiFi and cutting-edge infotainment systems is essential for use during the business day.
However, technological functions
have been deployed with care to reflect customer demand for a serene
environment, free from unnecessary distractions.
The commitment to delivering a pure, detoxifying space extends to the air within the cabin. To deliver this, Ghost is equipped with a new Micro-Environment Purification System (MEPS). This technology enhances existing air filtration systems through software and hardware.
Highly sensitive Impurity Detection Sensors
detect ambient air quality, automatically activating fresh air intakes into
Recirculation Mode. If unacceptable levels of airborne contaminants are
detected, the air is passed through a nanofleece filter that is capable of
removing nearly all ultra-fine particles within the cabin in less than two
minutes.
A suite of technologies enhances the driving experience in urban and country settings. This includes laser headlights with more than 600m of illuminated range and key safety enhancements including vision assist with day and night-time wildlife and pedestrian warning; alertness assistant; a four-camera system with panoramic view, all round-visibility and helicopter view; active cruise control; collision warning; cross traffic warning; lane departure and lane change warning.
An industry-leading 7x3 high definition head-up display and
self-park ensures absolute effortlessness whatever the driving conditions.
ENGINEERING
All-Aluminium Spaceframe
and New V12 Engine
Ghost Extended is built on the Architecture of Luxury, Rolls-Royce’s proprietary all-aluminium spaceframe that underpins every new Rolls-Royce model. The marque's hallmark Magic Carpet Ride is delivered by a new Planar Suspension System, the result of more than 10 years' exhaustive testing and refinement by specialist engineers.
Featuring continuously variable, electronically
controlled shock absorbers, self-levelling high-volume air strut assemblies and
a world-first upper wishbone damper; this technology has never been previously
applied to a production motor car. Ghost Extended also benefits from all-wheel
drive and all-wheel steering for the first time.
Power
is provided by a 6.75-litre twin turbocharged V12 engine developed exclusively
for Ghost. It produces 571PS and 850Nm of torque. The requirement for silence
when travelling is answered through 100kg of acoustic damping materials
incorporated into the chassis, bodywork and tyres, it delivers exhilarating
performance without disturbing the serenity within.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Simplicity Through Complexity
The
pursuit of design simplicity requires highly complex engineering and craft
techniques. For example, sophisticated interior and bodywork forms are only
achievable through advanced 3D printing technologies. This is the first time
this technology has been combined with Rolls-Royce’s traditional craft and
engineering capabilities.
For
Ghost Extended, beam-melted metal components are welded to the body-in-white,
while parts made by multi-jet fusion and selective laser sintering are
individually fitted at the Home of Rolls-Royce.
More traditional craft is given contemporary expression through the introduction of two new wood finishes, developed especially for Ghost. Obsidian Ayous is inspired by the rich palette of colours found in igneous rocks, while Dark Amber has veins of fine aluminium particles running through the wood.
Both are available in open-pore finish, allowing the tactility of the material to fully express itself.
