Doha: The new Rolls-Royce Ghost, the latest addition to the marque’s collection of the most refined vehicles in the world, was officially revealed in Qatar by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Doha.

As the city’s motoring cognoscenti gathered at Eiwan Al Gassar Gallery recently, within the parameters of the social distancing rules and regulations, the new Ghost took centre stage and captured both the attention and imagination of all in attendance. 

Speaking during the event, General Manager of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Doha, Nasr Jairoudi, said: “Succeeding the most successful product in the marque’s history, the New Ghost is the most technologically advanced Rolls-Royce yet, reflecting ‘Post Opulent’ design philosophy, and rejecting superficial expressions of wealth. It is a masterpiece of craftsmanship; as it whispers its qualities; it doesn’t shout. We are delighted to reveal new Ghost here in Doha to our clients.”

The most technologically advanced Rolls-Royce yet, the New Ghost succeeds the most successful product in the marque’s 116-year history. Reflecting ‘Post Opulent’ design philosophy and rejecting superficial expressions of wealth, this beautiful minimalist and highly complex monolithic sculpture is in perfect harmony with Ghost clients’ needs and perfectly in tune with the times.

Built on rigid aluminium Rolls-Royce spaceframe architecture, allowing designers and engineers to incorporate more technology such as all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering for unprecedented poise and surefootedness.

The New Ghost incorporates a world first Planar suspension system significantly increasing agility and effortlessness and is equipped with hallmark 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 engine, delivering 571PS and 850nm.

For effortless egress, doors now electrically open as well as close and the interior components are tuned to specific resonant frequency to create a sense of serenity. The down lit Pantheon grille discreetly illuminates the Rolls-Royce iconography and the illuminated Fascia debuts featuring Ghost nameplate surrounded by more than 850 stars.
