What really makes the Rolls-Royce cabin unique to our eyes are the instruments. Imagine
special edition timepiece displayed in its dedicated case, the piece that tops the entire store where it is held. Good, now you have a pretty accurate image of how refined the dashboard instruments and the clock are.
There's enough chrome in here to convince one that the Ghost is the natural source for the metal. A bit too much for our taste, but Rolls-Royce is quick to point out that chrome is used to emphasize the most important functions.
The seats up front are less sculpted than in a Bentley, for example, but they're even more comfortable than what Crewe has to offer. Unfortunately, the industry's ever-present issue of the stiff headrest is also present in the Ghost.
Even the sun is invited to this event, via the optional panoramic sunroof. The interior is already well lit, so the feature truly is optional. By the way, you can have the sunroof included in the standard features if you like. Just opt for the Ghost Extended Wheelbase. Along with the natural light bath, you'll also get an extra 6.7 inches (170 mm) of wheelbase.
As for the aforementioned technology, you'll find a rotative controller on the center console. Use it and a large piece of veneer on the dash will move away to reveal a display. We are dealing with a BMW iDrive in disguise here, but we won't complain. We couldn't especially when the German tech infusion has also brought a Head-Up Display.
The scheme is mirrored in the back, where a second controller allows the passengers to control all the settings of the car that don't affect the driver directly. The hot shots in the back can enjoy two 9.2-inch screens. Music arrives via a 16-speaker system that employs a ten-channel amplifier and two floor-mounted subwoofers.
The total power of 600 Watts is inferior to that in much lesser premium cars. Give then quality of the aural experience, this once again goes to show that the total power figure doesn’t mean all that much.
Speaking of the rear, sitting back here doesn't just bring an image privilege. You also get a nice little button that controls an electric motor which closes the door for you. You simply have to behold the double-layer glasshouse from the rear seat and you'll understand just how luxurious this car is.
The bench is carved in such a way that facilitates the rear passengers talking to each other. Individualists shouldn't worry though, you can order... individual reclining rear seats.
