Rolls-Royce Ghost 2020
The 2020 Rolls-Royce Ghost Base represents the second generation of this iconic model. It introduces significant technical advancements such as an aluminum chassis, all-wheel drive, and rear-wheel steering, delivering a refined and contemporary driving experience. Targeted at customers seeking understated luxury and a less imposing presence than the Phantom, this Ghost Base features a sleek, smooth silhouette while prioritizing comfort and acoustic insulation within the cabin.

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.
