"Sumptuous" leather helps Rolls-Royce strike the right note in two-tone Ghost
09/03/2012
Visitors to the Rolls-Royce stand in Geneva saw a Ghost painted "infinity black and Cassiopeia silver" with an interior design scheme that "perfectly reflects the two-tone theme", according ot the luxury automotive brand. "Sumptuous black leather frames black stained ash veneer into which steel pinstripes have been carefully crafted," it explained. "The final luxury touch is lambswool floor mats into which feet are easily lost at the end of a hard day walking the Geneva halls."
Chief executive of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, said during the show: "Any Rolls-Royce is a work of art, taking its place in our clients’ luxury collections alongside yachts, helicopters and fine jewellery. I am delighted that we are now able to offer two-tone options for Ghost as well as for Phantom, features that once again extend the palette upon which a Rolls-Royce masterpiece can be painted.”
Rolls-Royce celebrated record sales in 2011 with 3,538 models delivered to clients worldwide, beating the previous sales record held in 1978 when 3,347 units were sold.
