Driving the Rolls-Royce Ghost on a 400-mile road trip from London to Edinburgh.
Before that, a couple of local errands are run and the Ghost, while intimidatingly massive at first, quickly becomes familiar. The addition of rear-wheel-steering helps to virtually shrink the wheelbase at low speed, thus making light work of maneuvering between tight city streets. It’s a big car, but one that owners should quickly get used to – important, given this is a Rolls to be enjoyed from the front seat as much as the back.
Up front, you’ll find the familiar Rolls-Royce powerhouse; a 6.75-liter, twin-turbocharged V12 producing 571 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. This means a 0-60mph time of 4.8 seconds and the sort of surge towards the horizon you’d normally expect from something much smaller. It really is hilarious how a members club on wheels can launch itself forwards on a seemingly unstoppable wave of torque.
Everything in the cabin feels just right. From the solid metal door pulls, to the soft leather, open-grain wood paneling, deep wool carpets, and organ stop-style ventilation controls. Although I drove myself on this occasion, I’ve previously ridden in the back of a Ghost and the back seats are just what you’d expect. Spacious, adjustable and comfortable, with picnic tables, TV screens, a selection of massage options and curtains drawn across the windows - but without feeling overloaded with tech. Plus there’s a fridge between the two seats, complete with champagne flutes. Naturally.
