Rolls-Royce Ghost

What is the Rolls-Royce Ghost?

The Ghost is a four-door luxury saloon that sits below the Phantom in Rolls-Royce’s range. Its spacious cabin and quieter styling give the marque’s formal character a more understated expression, while its comfort and craftsmanship suit both chauffeured journeys and time behind the wheel.

The first-generation Ghost (RR4) ran from 2010 to 2020; the second generation (RR11) began in 2021. The newer car brought a cleaner design and an aluminium spaceframe, along with all-wheel steering and a suspension system designed to smooth the ride. Both generations centre on a spacious, quiet saloon with a strong emphasis on comfort.

Engines and power

Ghost versions in the listed markets use petrol engines, with sizes from 6.6 to 6.7 litres. Listed power starts at 420 kW (571 PS) in the EU and reaches 600 kW (816 PS) in UK figures; French figures reach 442 kW (601 PS). The second-generation Ghost has a 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12.

How economical is the Rolls-Royce Ghost?

The lowest listed consumption is 13.6 L/100 km in UK NEDC figures. The EU figure is 15.5 L/100 km under WLTP, while France lists 14 L/100 km under NEDC. The United States EPA figure is 15.7 L/100 km, or 15 MPG combined, and Canada’s NRCan 5-cycle figure is 15.2 L/100 km. Test procedures differ: Europe uses WLTP or NEDC, the USA uses EPA testing and Canada uses its 5-cycle procedure, so these results are not directly comparable.

Where was the Ghost sold?

Official figures cover the European Union, the United Kingdom, France, the United States and Canada. EU registration figures span 2010 to 2025. The listed UK figures run from 2010 to 2026, US figures from 2010 to 2027 and Canadian figures from 2010 to 2026. Rolls-Royce is a British marque, and the Ghost brought a more understated saloon to its modern Goodwood range.
