STORY

The Ghost was launched in 2009 as a smaller, more driver-oriented saloon positioned below the Phantom, initially sharing components with the BMW 7 Series before moving to Rolls-Royce's own aluminium architecture. Powered by a twin-turbo V12, it became the marque's best-selling model. The second generation, introduced in 2020, adopted the bespoke 'Architecture of Luxury' spaceframe and features such as the Planar suspension and illuminated fascia.
