For those who desire sybaritic luxury and a spirited driving experience in the same ultra-pricey motorcar, the 2019 Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II is your answer. The interior boasts sumptuous leather seating and handsomely crafted wood veneers. We’ve already spied the all-new 2020 Rolls-Royce Ghost undergoing testing and expect the production model to bow before the end of 2019.Under the hood that is topped by the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy is a twin-turbo 6.6-liter V-12 good for 563 horsepower paired to a satellite-aided gearbox. This setup uses GPS data to read the roadscape ahead of you, anticipate your driving needs, and shift the transmission gears accordingly. However, Black Badge models make another 40 ponies; Rolls claims a governed top speed of 155 mph for every version. The last one we tested was less powerful, but it still managed to move with authority in a straight line—even though it was rather listless going around corners.To enter the cavernous back seat on the Ghost Series II, have your personal assistant open the rear-hinged door. Available with a short or long wheelbase, the Series II is primarily used to transport the one-percenters to and from five-star hotels and red-carpet galas. Meanwhile, these lucky folks are given ample spread-out space and treated to some of the finest materials on the planet. The cabin also can be outfitted with a headliner that replicates a star-studded night sky, while two 9.2-inch screens complete the Ghost’s rear-seat theater system. Passengers can rest easy, since the head-up display and night-vision camera help ensure the driver is less distracted and more alert to anything that might go bump in the dark.
