The Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II, launched in Korea, is an evolved model of the second-generation Ghost released in 2020, completing a more confident appearance and sophisticated design through exquisite changes. It provides richer expressive power through the application of new materials and maintains the powerful V12 powertrain that made Ghost a Rolls-Royce legend by reflecting customer feedback.
Ghost Series II further strengthened its role as a Bespoke stage where it can freely express its own personality, creativity, and aesthetic sense in line with the increasing demand for Bespoke by Korean customers. It has added new interior finishes and features that were not present in existing ghost models, and has extended the Bespoke experience to the digital realm by applying advanced software technology.

"Ghost Series II is a model that provides more sophisticated and modern exterior design, the use of new materials that stand out in craftsmanship, and a natural driving experience," he said, adding, "I hope Ghost Series II will be warmly welcomed by luxury lovers in Korea, one of the world's most insightful customer bases."
Counseling and ordering for Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II is available at the official Rolls-Royce Motor Car exhibition hall nationwide. The starting prices of Ghost Series II, Ghost Extended Series II, and Black Badge Ghost Series II are 524 million won, 577 million won, and 624 million won, respectively (including VAT), and will be delivered to domestic customers sequentially from the first quarter of this year.
A modern yet restrained aesthetic appearance
The exterior of Ghost Series II clearly reveals Rolls-Royce's concise and understated monolithic design, embodying the essence of Rolls-Royce in refined form: tranquility, relaxation, and elegance. The Illuminated Pantheon grille and headlights at the front are modernized, and the improved daytime running light graphics lead from the bottom of the grille to the front wing edge, highlighting the vehicle's generous full width.
The rear of Ghost Series II is equipped with a new tail lamp that is in harmony with the side and back of the vehicle. The Rolls-Royce Spectre-inspired taillights feature two individualistic vertical light panels, flanked by curved chrome elements, and emblazoned with a double 'R' monogram. The new 22-inch 9-spoke wheel design is a choice between full gloss and partial gloss.
Customers who want to enjoy the best rear seat space with the agility of Ghost Series II can order Ghost Extended Series II (Ghost Extended Series II). It provided 170mm wider rear seat space while maintaining the elegant silhouette. You can order a rear seat reclining serenity seating reminiscent of a private jet cabin, and like the Ghost Series II, it offers a champagne refrigerator as an option.
The interior is full of innovative materials and bold expression of modern crafts
The Ghost Series II interior is full of bold representations of contemporary craft carefully devised by Rolls-Royce artisans. The passenger side of the central information display is equipped with a new clock cabinet of the Statue of Joy. The new Illuminated Fascia design was inspired by stars, reminiscent of a Timelapse astrophotograph capturing the movement of the night sky. Customers can also collaborate with Rolls-Royce Bespoke designers to create their own unique Illuminated Fascia.
In the
sheet, a special pattern technique called "Placed Perforation" is applied to make art works by drilling tens of thousands of small perforations in leather. In addition, a new plant-inspired material called "Duality Twill" was introduced in part of the sheet to add speciality.
The central information display is equipped with Rolls-Royce's advanced operating system 'SPIRIT', expanding the Bespoke order to the digital domain. In addition, Spirit can remotely control vehicle destination transmission, location, and lock management by linking with the Rolls Royce customer-only app "Whispers."
Engineering with unique driving performance
The Ghost Series II features Rolls-Royce's uniquely powerful low-noise 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 gasoline engine and an eight-speed transmission, delivering a maximum power of 571 horsepower (PS) and a maximum torque of 86.7 kg.m. It reaches a maximum torque at 1,600 rpm, only 600 rpm higher than the tick-over, allowing you to experience Rolls-Royce's characteristic "waftability," or floating ride.
The planar suspension system on the Ghost Series II applies an upper wishbone damper unit over the front suspension for a comfortable ride. On top of that, a continuous variable electronically controlled shock observer and a self-balanced large-capacity air strut work together to implement Rolls-Royce's unique smooth "Magic Carpet Ride" more leisurely. The same self-equilibrium high capacity air suspension technology is applied to the five-link rear axle, and the accompanying flag bearer system detects the road ahead with the camera and adjusts the suspension to suit road surface conditions.
Black Badge Ghost Series II: A Bold Expression of Luxury and Power
Black Badge Ghost Series II is another devastating self and high-performance model of Rolls-Royce, which maximizes its presence by finishing the front pantheon grille, statue of jubilation, and side badge with black chrome. For the first time ever in Rolls-Royce, the door handle also finished in black to complete a deeper darkness.
The bottom brake air inlet with a geometric shape emphasized the verticality and robustness of the pantheon grill with two dark chrome strips crossing the air duct vertically, surrounded by black chrome frames. The eye-catching 22-inch partial glossy 7-spoke forging wheels visually depict the mechanical complexity of Rolls-Royce's legendary high-powered V12 engine and chassis technology.
Dark surface treatment, which symbolizes black medium, is also widely used indoors. Statues of jubilation in watch cabinets were also finished in black chrome, with carefully crafted technical carbon surface finishes applied to the bottom of the glass fascia and the entire interior.
The high-performance black medium ghost series II is equipped with a high-power 6.75-liter twin turbo V12 engine, with a maximum power of 600 horsepower and a maximum torque of 91.8 kg.m. In particular, more dynamic driving is possible through the 'Low' button on the gear operation lever. The Bespoke Black Badge Exhaust System emits a deep and dignified exhaust sound, as well as 50% faster gear shifting when the accelerator pedal is pressed more than 90%, providing powerful and pleasant acceleration.
