Rolls-Royce Motor Cars unveiled the Ghost Series II, heralded as the most advanced and driver-centric V12 model in the brand’s history, at the Hôtel Hermitage on the evening of Wednesday, March 12. This sleek evolution of the iconic Ghost blends cutting-edge technology with a bold, driver-focused design, offering clients a dynamic platform for bespoke customisation.
The Ghost Series II boasts a twin-turbocharged V12 engine, paired with advanced systems like Planar Suspension, Flagbearer, and Satellite Aided Transmission, ensuring a thrilling yet effortless ride. Its striking exterior subtly refines the Ghost’s signature look, while the interior integrates the SPIRIT digital interface and Whispers app, alongside enhanced audio and streaming capabilities.
The Ghost Series II is driven by Rolls-Royce’s formidable 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine, paired with an eight-speed gearbox, delivering seamless power to its all-wheel steering and drivetrain. Peak torque kicks in at just 1,600rpm—barely above idle—offering a smooth, endless surge of motion that defines the brand’s signature ‘waftability.’
For those craving more, the Ghost Extended Series II provides additional rear space, and the Black Badge variant offers a daring twist, both available to commission now. “Ghost Series II embodies serenity, elegance, and agility, elevated by meaningful design updates and an uncompromising powertrain,” said CEO Chris Brownridge. Exterior design head Juliane Blasi added, “It’s a potent canvas for our clients’ bold or subtle bespoke visions.”
Since its debut in 2009, Ghost has redefined luxury for a younger, hands-on clientele. With Series II, Rolls-Royce doubles down on that legacy, delivering a grand tourer that’s as exhilarating to drive as it is to personalise.
