                                    When the time came to update Ghost, Rolls-Royce spoke to its clients about their requirements. For them, Ghost%u2019s potential as a platform for personal, as well as engineering dynamism, was central to its appeal. Respecting their wishes, Rolls-Royce made subtle but meaningful design enhancements when forming Ghost Series II, and incorporated the remarkable, uncompromising powertrain that wrote this motor car into Rolls-Royce legend.GHOST SERIES II:A NEW MOOD CREATED THROUGH COLOURFor Ghost Series II, designers have also created a new exterior colour, joining the marque%u2019s existing palette of more than 44,000 pr%u00eat-%u00e0-porter hues and Bespoke colour service, where clients can craft their own shade and reserve it for their exclusive use. Named Mustique Blue, this metallic finish captures the hues and glamour of the Caribbean island it is named after, using glass and mica flakes to create a shimmer that evokes sunlight reflecting from a tropical sea.The colour is also a reference to one of the earliest driver-focused Rolls-Royces %u2013 a lightweight 1929 Phantom II Continental prototype, which was finished in a similar blue hue. This motor car was created for Henry Royce%u2019s personal use and was one of the first motor cars in history to use pearlescent paint, which at the time was created using ground fish scales. It went on to win the %u2018Prix d%u2019Honneur%u2019, at the prestigious Biarritz Concours d%u2019Elegance in 1930.GHOST SERIES II:POTENCY AND INFINITE BESPOKE POTENTIALSince its launch in 2009, Ghost has captured the spirit of Rolls-Royce%u2019s Goodwood era, which is defined by clients%u2019 desire to express their connoisseurship through increasingly complex and diverse Bespoke commissions. To satisfy this demand, Rolls-Royce is expanding its global network of Private Offices, offering clients around the world the experience of interacting with Designers and Bespoke specialists based in their region, to bring their visions to life. Furthermore, the marque has secured planning permission for a significant extension of its Home at Goodwood in West Sussex with the express aim of creating more space for Bespoke craft and technologies to grow.Alongside this desire for increasingly complex Bespoke, many of today%u2019s Rolls-Royce clients demand a driving experience that is as potent and agile as it is composed, effortless and serene. This is a balance that Ghost Series II strikes perfectly, at no cost to either character %u2013 and without ever compromising the motor car%u2019s standing as a superlative and powerful super-luxury product.ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS DUBAI 57
