Rolls-Royce Ghost at a glance
Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.
Introduced in late 2020, the second-generation Rolls-Royce Ghost was developed following a decade of owner feedback. Recognizing that Ghost owners frequently drive themselves rather than relying solely on a chauffeur, the brand focused on a design philosophy it calls "post-opulence." This approach minimizes ostentatious styling in favor of understated, high-quality engineering. Built on an exclusive aluminum spaceframe shared with the Phantom and Cullinan, the new Ghost is larger than its predecessor, growing by 89 mm in length and 30 mm in width. It features all-wheel drive, rear-wheel steering, and a highly sophisticated chassis setup aimed at maximizing ride comfort. An Extended version is also available, adding 170 mm to the wheelbase for expanded rear legroom.
- Power: 571 hp
- Engine displacement: 6750 cc

Rolls-Royce Ghost overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior of the 2020 Ghost emphasizes visual simplicity and seamless construction. The body panels are continuously welded from the A-pillar to the rear bumper to create a unified, monolithic appearance without visible shut lines. The front fascia retains the traditional Pantheon grille, which now features subtle internal illumination. Along the sides, the sedan maintains the classic rear-hinged coach doors, but for this generation, both the front and rear doors are equipped with a fully electrified opening and closing mechanism.
Interior
Inside, the Ghost prioritizes traditional materials, utilizing extensive amounts of real metal, leather, and wood. The dashboard avoids massive touchscreens, retaining a perfectly round steering wheel, mechanical air vents, physical climate dials, and an analog clock. A notable new element is the illuminated fascia on the passenger side, which displays a glowing star motif consisting of 152 LEDs and 850 individual stars, echoing the optional starlight headliner. The rear cabin can be configured for either two or three passengers, with concealed infotainment screens built into the front seatbacks and an optional refrigerator located behind the center armrest.
Performance
Power is provided by a 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine that produces 571 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque, with peak torque available from just 1,600 rpm. To achieve a 50:50 weight distribution, the engine is mounted entirely behind the front axle. A standard eight-speed ZF automatic transmission routes power to all four wheels. Despite a curb weight of nearly 2,500 kg, the Ghost can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and reaches a governed top speed of 250 km/h.
Practicality
While heavily focused on ride quality, the Ghost remains a functional large sedan. The standard wheelbase model measures 5,546 mm in length, providing vast interior dimensions. The trunk offers 507 liters of cargo capacity, suitable for luggage or golf clubs. Over 100 kilograms of acoustic insulation, including materials inside the tires, isolate the cabin from road noise. The addition of rear-wheel steering drastically improves maneuverability, making this long vehicle easier to navigate in urban environments.
Safety and tech
The 2020 Ghost features a complex Planar suspension system that works in tandem with cameras that read the road surface ahead, preemptively adjusting the dampers for upcoming imperfections. A satellite-aided transmission system also uses GPS data to select the optimal gear based on the road layout. For acoustic comfort, engineers tuned the cabin materials to vibrate at a uniform frequency, preventing the disorientation that can occur in completely silent spaces. The 1300-watt Bespoke Audio system incorporates the car's aluminum sills as resonant chambers to enhance sound quality.
Buyer notes
Buyers configuring a 2020 Ghost should primarily consider their spatial needs when choosing between the standard and Extended wheelbase versions. The rear seating layout also dictates much of the cabin's functionality, with the two-seat configuration offering a more formal chauffeur-driven experience. Keep in mind that running costs correspond to a large V12 vehicle, with a mixed-cycle fuel consumption rating of around 15.7 liters per 100 kilometers.
