The Rolls-Royce Ghost. Some of you might have heard of it, some of you might have seen one in the flesh before, and some of you might’ve had the chance to even ride one.
For those who did, you know that it’s one classy car. Scratch that. It might even be one of the classiest full-size luxury cars today.
Despite that though, Rolls-Royce Ghost is an aging car model. It was introduced way back in 2009, with an update in 2013 and in 2014. So yeah, one can say that this car, handsome and luxurious as it is, needs to step into a new generation model.
Still looks like the old one, but we're sure that this one handles way better
Recently, countless automotive websites around the world have reported that Rolls-Royce has indeed developed the new Ghost.
There are even numerous spy shots of the said luxury car in camouflage so that means that the new Ghost is now in its testing phase. As such, Rolls-Royce fans are understandably excited.
So to quench your curiosity a little bit, what we have here is a rendering of the new Ghost from Kolesa.ru, a Russian automotive website.
What the updated Rolls-Royce Ghost might look like
As you can see from the rendering, the artist thinks that the next-generation Ghost will be very similar to its previous generation model. Rolls-Royce, after all, is a very conservative car manufacturer, so it won’t be surprised if this indeed will be the case.
What we do know, however, is that the new Ghost will be using an all-new platform, which the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan and the Phantom 4-door saloon is already using.
Improvements to the said platform include very significant weight reduced chassis due to being made mostly out of aluminum, and better torsion rigidity as well. So does this mean that the new Ghost will be sportier too?
It's now lighter, and with the new AWD, this thing will rip
Well as of now, there’s no official news yet but many are convinced that the Ghost will be getting a 570 horsepower, V12 twin-turbo engine, with power to be sent to all of the Ghost’s wheels – more likely to be made by BMW.
If that doesn’t shudder your monocle, we don’t know what will.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost is the British brand’s second four-door luxury sedan that follows the Phantom.

Crafted without any compromises and built-in comfort, the driver-friendly luxury sedan is decked in the highest quality materials coupled with safety-oriented technological features such as a 9.2-inch head-up display and night vision. In true Rolls-Royce fashion, it also features the trademark magic carpet ride experience in all variants of the Ghost.

Rolls-Royce Ghost Launch
The Rolls-Royce Ghost was first introduced globally in April 2009. A couple of years later, the extended wheelbase variant was added to the lineup. The second-generation Ghost II Series was launched locally in March 2015 during the opening of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Manila’s dealership.
Rolls-Royce Ghost Exterior
The Rolls-Royce Ghost follows the brand’s design philosophy of simplicity and luxury. From its previous generation, the II Series model came with a redesigned front fascia flanked with LED headlamps with anti-glare technology. The grille decked in chrome is now taller and complemented by re-sculptured front bumpers that create a dominant yet elegant face.
Its hood also received an update on the wake channel that is derived from the Spirit of Ecstasy ornament which is angled forward further. Completing the look are 21-inch alloys.

Rolls-Royce Ghost Interior
Inside, the Ghost embodies a typical Rolls-Royce in a modern fashion. Passengers can expect the utmost pampering amid premium materials in the spacious cabin. Seats are wrapped in hand-stitched full-grain leather, which has been also redesigned and furnished with electronically adjustable thigh supports. It is the same type of leather used in its bigger sibling, the Phantom, but with a modified treatment to get the natural grain texture of the leather.
The signature Rolls-Royce clock and the instrument dials are trimmed with matte chrome centers, three-dimensional chrome edges, and polished metal chaplets displaying the brand’s precision for curated details.
