{"key":"rolls-royce-ghost","blocks":[{"section":"intro","body":"The current Ghost is what Rolls-Royce calls post-opulent: deliberate restraint where the Phantom is maximalist. Same 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 making 563 horsepower, but a cleaner surface and far less ornament. It is the Rolls that rewards the person sitting in it rather than the crowd looking at it, and on a coast where presence is cheap and quiet is not, that distinction is the entire proposition."},{"section":"setting","heading":"Monaco and the Coast","body":"Delivery is to your hotel in Monaco or Saint-Tropez. Casino Monte-Carlo is at the door, Nice airport is about forty minutes west along the coast, and Saint-Tropez is roughly ninety minutes in the other direction. That triangle is the Ghost's natural range: a dinner in Monaco, an airport collection, and the long coastal run west where the cabin insulation earns its keep."},{"section":"interiors","heading":"Inside","body":"The illuminated fascia carries 850 fibre-optic stars behind wood veneer and lights the dashboard at night. Doors are power-assisted, opening and closing on a touch. Around a hundred kilograms of acoustic insulation sits in the body, which is why the cabin reads as silent rather than merely quiet. The rear comfort package is the reason to sit in the back.","bullets":["850-star illuminated fascia behind wood veneer","Power-assisted doors, touch to open and close","Around 100kg of acoustic sound-deadening","Rear comfort package","Premium sound and climate control"]},{"section":"experience","heading":"The Drive","body":"Planar suspension takes the upper wishbone arrangement from the Phantom and adds satellite-aided transmission, which reads the road ahead and selects the gear before the corner arrives. The result on the corniche is that the car appears to know the route. The 6.75-litre V12 is never asked to work, which is the point of the engine rather than a criticism of it."},{"section":"logistics","heading":"Delivery and Chauffeur","body":"The Ghost is delivered to your hotel in Monaco or Saint-Tropez, or collected at the airport. A chauffeur is available on request rather than included, so the same booking covers a self-driven coastal day and a chauffeured evening. A one-day minimum applies and rates run from a published daily figure. The concierge confirms delivery point and timing in advance."},{"section":"ideal-for","heading":"Best For","body":null,"bullets":["Casino Monte-Carlo arrivals that should read as restrained","Business dinners where a quiet cabin is the requirement","Guests who find the Phantom too ostentatious","Night driving, when the illuminated fascia is at its best"]}]}
