The turning circle compared to other Rolls-Royce models
In comparison to its brethren within the Rolls-Royce lineup, the Ghost's turning circle sits at the higher end of the spectrum. Most notably, the Rolls-Royce Wraith, Dawn, and even the spectre of luxury itself, the Spectre, boast a nimbler 12.70 meters, giving them a slight edge in dodging the commoners at the grocery car park. However, when pitted against the more hefty Rolls-Royce Cullinan at 13.20 meters, the Ghost finds itself in a not-so-lonely spot, outmatched in this one aspect of its turning prowess, revealing a hierarchy even within the sanctuary of Rolls-Royce's opulence.

How does the turning circle of the Rolls-Royce Ghost compare to it's nearest competitors?
Turning our gaze outward, to the Ghost's nearest competitors, the dance gets even more intricate. Against rivals like the Cadillac CT6, BMW 02er-Reihe, and others, the Ghost's turning circle might seem like it's participating in a different league altogether. For instance, the Cadillac CT6 pirouettes at a mere 11.30 meters, the BMW 02er-Reihe twirls at 10.50 meters, and the Volvo 264 does its ballet at 9.80 meters—each showcasing a more nimble maneuverability attributed to their lesser dimensions and different design priorities. These comparisons shed light on the fact that despite its grandeur, the Ghost navigates its environment differently, prioritizing presence and comfort over the ability to make tighter turns. In the realm of luxury where the Ghost reigns, comparing turning circles is less about practicality and more about understanding the nuances that distinguish these masterpieces of automotive engineering.
