Overview

It may be slightly cheaper than the Phantom, but there's nothing cheap about the 2024 RollsRoyce Ghost. From tip to tail, this luxury limo exudes glamour and sophistication. A V12 engine provides effortless acceleration, but while it's capable of hitting 60 mph in a brisk 4.6 seconds and offers a surprising level of athleticism for its size, the Ghost is better used for gently ferrying its powerplayer passengers to and from board meetings and exclusive social functions. A camera scans the road ahead to help prepare the suspension for potholes and speed bumps to keep the ride as velvety as possible. That gives passengers the ability to sip champagne and snack on caviar without spilling anything onto the Ghost's butterysoft leather or highpile lambswool floormats. Ready to live your Lifestyles of the Rich and iniFamous fantasy? With a small investment of around $400,000, the Ghost can take up residence in your driveway, but remember—the chauffeur is sold separately.

What's New for 2024?

RollsRoyce has been focusing on its first electric vehicle, the Spectre, so the Ghost carries over to 2024 without any significant changes to its design, features list, or powertrain. A limited run of 120 Ghost Prism special edition models will be built this year to mark the brand's 120th anniversary/ RollsRoyce also built 25 special edition Ékleipsis models to celebrate October 14th's solar eclipse. The car featured a unique version of the Ghost's starlight headliner that was designed to pay homage to the celestial event and it also featured an artful dashboard trim surrounding a diamond timepiece.

The Ghost is the entrylevel Rolls, but what an entry. The list of standard and optional equipment is mesmerizing and long, and RollsRoyce offers a seemingly endless list of additional features and customizations. The only question is how much you're willing to spend. We'll leave the decisionmaking to you, but we'd recommend the extended wheelbase model to maximize rearseat legroom.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The Ghost is powered by a 563hp 6.7liter V12 that is shared with the Cullinan SUV; Black Badge models get a boost in power to 592 hp. An eightspeed automatic handles shifting duties, and allwheel drive is standard. According to RollsRoyce, the Ghost is capable of hitting 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, and we're looking forward to verifying that claim at our test track. RollsRoyce also boasts that the Ghost offers sharp handling, pointing to its allwheelsteering system and 50/50 weight distribution as evidence that driving satisfaction played a significant role in the car's development. The Ghost provides a peerless ride thanks to its standard adaptive suspension, which employs a roadscanning camera to help the vehicle anticipate and compensate for potholes. Of course.
