Rolls-Royce Motor Cars officially launched the Ghost Series II flagship sedan with a V12 gasoline engine in South Korea. The new model builds on the second-generation Ghost introduced in 2020 and features upgraded design, technology, and driving performance.
The model retains its restrained exterior elegance, bespoke interior detailing, and Rolls-Royce’s signature powerful V12 powertrain.
Refined Design and Enhanced Performance
The Ghost Series II has a redesigned front end featuring an illuminated Pantheon grille and new headlights that give it a more modern appearance. The updated daytime running lights highlight the vehicle’s broad stance.
At the back, newly styled tail lamps—inspired by Rolls-Royce’s electric vehicle Spectre—include two vertical light panels and curved chrome accents that add a refined touch.
The suspension system includes Rolls-Royce’s signature Planar setup, which features an upper wishbone damper above the front suspension to improve ride quality.
Paired with electronically controlled shock absorbers and self-leveling air struts, the system delivers the smooth, stable “magic carpet ride” the brand is known for.
Powertrain and Black Badge Performance Variant
It delivers 571 horsepower and 627 lb-ft (86.7 kg·m) of torque, with peak torque available at just 1,600 RPM.
The Black Badge Ghost Series II boosts output to 600 horsepower and 664 lb-ft (91.8 kg·m) of torque. This version includes a custom Black Badge exhaust system that speeds up gear changes by 50% when the accelerator is pushed past 90%, creating a more responsive drive.
Externally, the Black Badge model stands out with its black chrome finish on the Pantheon grille, Spirit of Ecstasy figurine, and door handles.
On the outside, the Black Badge edition features a black chrome finish on the Pantheon grille, Spirit of Ecstasy ornament, and door handles. This is the first time Rolls-Royce has applied black chrome to the door handles, giving the vehicle an even bolder presence.
Luxury Interior and Customization Options
The interior has been significantly upgraded. A new Spirit of Ecstasy Clock Cabinet is positioned on the passenger-side dashboard, while the center display is now equipped with Rolls-Royce’s latest infotainment system, Spirit.
Through the Bespoke program, customers can personalize the Ghost Series II to meet their preferences. A Rolls-Royce spokesperson noted that demand for bespoke features is growing, and the company plans to offer more customization options.
Pricing and Availability
In South Korea, the Ghost Series II starts at 5.24 billion KRW (approximately 3.93 million USD), with the extended wheelbase version priced at 5.77 billion KRW (approximately 4.33 million USD). The Black Badge Ghost Series II starts at 6.24 billion KRW (approximately 4.68 million USD).
Irene Nikkein, Regional Director for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Asia Pacific, said that the Ghost Series II represents the pinnacle of engineering and craftsmanship. We believe it will be well received in the Korean market.
