History

Originally unveiled in 2009, the Rolls-Royce Ghost quickly became a cornerstone in the brand’s lineup, offering a size and style more approachable than the Phantom. Following its first generation and updates including the 2014 Series II, the second generation was introduced in 2020, marking a pivotal evolution. This new iteration is built on the Architecture of Luxury, an all-aluminum structure enhancing rigidity and reducing weight. Moreover, traditional rear-wheel drive was replaced by all-wheel drive and rear-wheel steering to improve handling and stability. These technical innovations represent a significant renewal for the Ghost, aimed at customers seeking a more modern luxury sedan while preserving the essence and elegance characteristic of Rolls-Royce. The 2020 Base model serves as the foundation of this new generation before the launch of Extended and Black Badge variants in 2021.

Evolution

The 2020 Base version embodies the significant evolution initiated with the Ghost’s second generation. Compared to the first generation, it features a new aluminum structure that fundamentally changes the vehicle’s dynamics and construction. It also offers an all-wheel drive system — a notable update from the previous setup — along with rear-wheel steering, innovations designed to enhance agility and driving comfort. Visually, this version showcases a cleaner and more monolithic design, with a simplified front end and smooth side panels, contrasting with the more traditional silhouette of the earlier generation. Inside, it stands out with improved acoustic insulation and a more minimalist visual approach, emphasizing modernity and calmness within the cabin.

Variants

The 2020 Ghost Base is part of a lineup that expanded after its launch. While this version represents the standard configuration of the second generation, it was complemented by variants such as the Ghost Extended and Black Badge introduced in 2021. The Extended version focuses on a longer wheelbase to enhance rear passenger comfort, whereas the Black Badge offers a sportier orientation with a darker design and specific driving-oriented tuning. Nonetheless, the Base model remains the balanced reference, delivering the core technical advancements while maintaining an elegant and refined approach without the aesthetic or dimensional modifications seen in the other variants.
