At first glance, the Ghost Series II retains its distinctive silhouette, which has been known since its debut in 2020, though slight modifications are noticeable. The most prominent update is the headlights, which are now slightly thinner. The taillights have also been redesigned, taking inspiration from the Spectre model and featuring two vertical stripes.
The larger grille and new finish options are also hard to miss. Among the updates are 22-inch, nine-spoke wheels and a unique paint called Mustique Blue, which adds to the over 44,000 available shades in the Bespoke lineup.
While the Ghost's interior maintains its luxurious essence, new personalization opportunities are now available. The driver can customize the colors of the digital indicators, which are individually programmed for each model. The updated Rolls-Royce software—Spirit—manages the multimedia system, and the Whispers app allows owners to remotely control the vehicle via smartphone. Passengers can enjoy luxurious amenities, such as streaming content on two individual rear screens and an improved sound system with 1400W power.
Exclusive new materials have been introduced to the interior. Rolls-Royce now offers grey-stained ash—a new type of wood—and the unique duality twill fabric made from bamboo. This fabric's creation process is highly time-consuming, involving 11 miles of thread and resulting in up to 2.2 million stitches. This addition further underscores the brand's signature luxury.
Under the hood of the refreshed Ghost lies the same powerful twin-turbocharged V12 engine with a capacity of 6.75 liters, producing 563 horsepower. This pairs seamlessly with the Planar suspension system and the 8-speed automatic transmission, ensuring a smooth ride and impressive dynamics. Rolls-Royce offers a Black Badge version with 591 horsepower, a faster transmission, and a more aggressive exterior design for those seeking enhanced performance.
