First Drive: 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost driving.ca - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from driving.ca Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
While the outgoing sedan hung its opulence on a BMW 7 Series chassis, this new Ghost rides on Rolls-Royce’s own aluminum Architecture of Luxury that was introduced with the Phantom 8 and now underpins the Cullinan SUV. It’s a stiffer, lighter platform that gives the Ghost a wider track and longer wheelbase. It also bestows standard all-wheel-drive and rear-wheel steering, neither of which were previously available on the Ghost.
The 2021 Ghost comes across as more modern, muscular and very pure of line. The Ghost design team – led by Henry Cloke – started with a clean sheet of paper and a new mandate dubbed “Post-Opulence.” And what does this mean? Within the bubble of the Rolls-Royce world, it indicates an evolved appreciation of luxury, one defined by minimalism and purity. Seems the nouveau Rolls clients want to tone down the bling. According to Cloke, “the new Ghost doesn’t shout, but whisper.”

Rolls-Royce
The Wraith coupe more than lives up to its Pop Explosion designation. It s finished in a two-tone GT Blue and Arctic White with a coachline in Koi Red. The flamboyant cabin is a blend of Arctic White and Muscari Blue with a special Starlight Headliner in red. The geometric patterns of the veneer are said to be inspired by the windows of skyscrapers. In the rear of the cabin, there is a Waterfall positioned between the two seats. Somehow, the Wraith pulls off this vivid color scheme while retaining the opulence inherent in every Rolls. Together, the three vehicles prove once again that Rolls-Royce is unsurpassed in its ability to craft the most unique luxury cars in the world.
