2025 Rolls-Royce Ghost

Rolls-Royce gave the Ghost a bit of a face-lift for this year, with smoother front sheetmetal and new exterior lighting. But the change is most evident inside, where glass now spans the entire dashboard. Pixels don't necessarily convey wealth the way physical objects do, and so next to the infotainment touchscreen is the Spirit of Ecstasy Clock Cabinet, which includes an analog clock and a mirror-polished miniature of Rolls' hood ornament. Elsewhere inside, buyers can spec the new Duality Twill upholstery, a rayon made from bamboo fibers, or leather with Placed Perforations, which uses different-size holes punched into the upholstery to create images with a three-dimensional effect.

Bentley is the Joker to Roll-Royce's Batman, and its Flying Spur undercuts the Ghost's base price by some $75,000. But as of this year, the Flying Spur is no longer available with a 12-cylinder engine. The Bentley's new plug-in hybrid V8 is vastly more powerful than the Ghost's V12, but buyers who absolutely must have a dozen cylinders should also check out the Mercedes-Maybach S 680.
