BLACK BADGE GHOST SERIES II

MODEL UPDATES at a glance

Ghost is one of the most important Rolls-Royce motor cars of the Goodwood era. The first generation was introduced in 2009 to meet the needs of what was then a completely new category of luxury consumer. These clients, who were predominantly younger than those the marque had spoken to with its initial motor car, Phantom, requested a more approachable and versatile model. They also sought a more distilled expression of the Rolls-Royce brand — and crucially, one that would allow them to make their own statements through Bespoke that they would relish driving themselves.

  • Exterior Design: The front end has been redesigned with a new illuminated Pantheon grille and updated headlight graphics. The rear features a new tail lamp configuration inspired by the Spectre.
  • Interior Enhancements: A new pillar-to-pillar glass panel houses the Central Information Display with the advanced SPIRIT operating system. The interior also features a new Spirit of Ecstasy Clock Cabinet and Illuminated Fascia.
  • Technology Upgrades: The SPIRIT system integrates with the Whispers private members app, allowing for remote vehicle management. Entertainment functions have been improved with enhanced streaming capabilities and connectivity.
  • BESPOKE Audio System: An upgraded 1400-watt amplifier powers the 18-speaker audio system, with innovative ‘speakerless’ exciters in the Headliner.
  • New Materials: Introduction of Grey-Stained Ash wood and Duality Twill, a bamboo-based textile. The Placed Perforation technique offers unique leather artworks.
  • Engineering: The 6.75-liter V12 engine is retained, with improvements to the Planar Suspension System for a more refined ride.
  • Ghost Extended Series II: The Ghost Extended Series II offers 6.69 inches more rear space and optional reclining Serenity Seating.
  • New ‘Duality Twill’ embroidered bamboo fabric (2.2m stitches, 11 miles of thread)
  • New choregraphed interior illumination sequence
