Rolls-Royce Ghost or Ghost Extended?

Begin with the people who travel with you

Ghost Series II places the driver at the heart of a contemporary Rolls-Royce motor car. Ghost Extended Series II adds more room for those travelling behind, with 170mm of additional space in the rear suite, according to Rolls-Royce.

For a client who regularly carries adults in the rear, that additional space is a compelling reason to explore Extended. If the standard Ghost already accommodates your passengers comfortably, the decision may instead turn towards your preferred Bespoke appointments.

See where Extended adds space

Rolls-Royce extends the rear doors and their apertures to create the extra room. Compare the two motor cars from the side, then open the rear door and sit behind the front seat in your normal driving position.

That is the important comparison: the space available on the journeys you actually make, with the driver seated as they would normally be.

Make time for the rear suite

Set the front seat for your usual driver, then compare knee room, foot room and access behind it. If more than one person drives the motor car, repeat the exercise for each preferred seating position.

For Ghost Extended Series II, Rolls-Royce offers reclining Serenity Seating as a commissioning choice. Discuss the precise rear-seat arrangement, seating capacity and comfort equipment you would like; they should be confirmed as part of your own specification.

Extended can suit an owner-driver, too

More rear space can be valuable even when you usually drive yourself. Think about family journeys, friends joining you for a weekend, or occasions when you prefer to travel in the rear.

During your appointment, move between the front and rear seats. Consider the whole experience rather than choosing a wheelbase from only one position.

Create a coherent Bespoke commission

Once the wheelbase and seating layout are settled, consider the materials, colours and cabin details you will enjoy most. The Illuminated Fascia is one example of the craftsmanship that gives Ghost its distinctive interior character.

Manufacturer photographs show individual commissions. Your Edinburgh specialist can guide you through current combinations and confirm the equipment, finishes and seating specified for your motor car.
