Introduction:

1919 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost 

In 1906 a new model, the 40/50 horsepower, was developed with a longer chassis and a six-cylinder engine. The popularity of the new Rolls-Royce grew quickly as it developed a reputation for smoothness, silence, flexibility and, above all, reliability. In 1907 a writer from the 'Autocar' described riding in the Rolls-Royce 40/50 hp as '....the feeling of being wafted through the countryside.' Engineers at Rolls-Royce coined the word 'waftability' to encapsulate that sensation. Today it is a word that cannot be found in any direction but it is a key design and engineering criterion. 
 
The twelfth 40/50 produced had all its fittings silver-plated and the coachwork painted in aluminum paint. This car became known as the Silver Ghost and is probably the most famous car in the world. The name was later adopted for all the 40/50 hp car and had an immediate international impact, enhanced by the coachbuilders of the day, who could produce bodies of breathtaking beauty. The Silver Ghost was, quite simply, in a class of its own. 
 
The motor car's versatility is legendary. It overwhelmingly won every reliability trial and distance record, dominated the great Alpine Trial of 1913 and won the Spanish Grand Prix of that year.

Rolls-Royce is always about excellence and comfort. All of their offerings function in a way that enhances the overall experience of being in a car. Very few carmakers can match what Rolls-Royce does. And now that the British marque has ventured into segments previously reserved for mainstream manufacturers, options are aplenty for the well-heeled. You have the Rolls Royce Cullinan if you feel a Range Rover is plebian, the Phantom for the ultimate chauffeur-driven experience, and of course the Ghost for those who cannot afford the Phantom. 

Banter aside, just like the Phantom, the Rolls Royce Ghost has established a name for itself in the ultra-premium segment of sedans. Now that the 2021 Rolls Royce Ghost has been revealed, talks about the 2022 model year has already started. 

Well, hate to break it to you but there won’t be any significant changes to the 2022 Rolls Royce Ghost. That said, a 2021 Ghost Black Badge could make its way along with the rumored 2022 Rolls Royce Wraith. However, nothing’s official as of yet. These leaks and speculations are in their infancy so expect to take them with a pinch of salt. 

There is something to be said about a car that is beautiful to drive and blissful to be driven in. The Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II aims to be that car, offering the driver a hallowed twin-turbocharged V12 engine and passengers a sumptuous and luxurious interior, jam-packed with tricks and treats. 

We ventured north to Sydney to put the Rolls-Royce Ghost to the ultimate test. The plan was to travel a loop from the Sydney CBD to scenic Bowral and then inland through to Wollongong, settling in for the evening at Sydney’s only five-star luxury hotel outside the CBD, the Intercontinental Double Bay. 

The latest iteration of the Rolls-Royce Ghost brings with it minor exterior styling changes, redesigned seats, extra interior technology and a satellite aided transmission. The Ghost's asking price has also been revised to a still scary $545,000 for the standard wheelbase edition, placing it more in line with some of the competition in this segment. 

Built to cater for a driver that also likes to be driven on occasion, the Ghost is powered by a bone-chilling 6.6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine that produces 420kW of power and 780Nm of torque. This engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that makes it good for a 0-100km/h time of less than 5 seconds, which is pretty impressive for a 2305kg car. 

As we set off for Bowral, a quaint town around 1.5 hours outside of Sydney, it was impossible to miss the incredible fit and finish around the cabin. Everything has a solid and perfect feel to it. Lashings of wood grain are surrounded by leather, while the carpets in our test vehicle were made from lamb’s wool.
