Rolls-Royce Ghost

Ghost Ghost Series II is a South African Sedan with a sedan body and petrol power.

Ghost Series II is the current form of the second-generation Ghost introduced in South Africa in 2020. Rolls-Royce's October 2024 update refined the exterior, introduced the SPIRIT digital interface and widened the material choices without abandoning the engineering that established this generation. That phrase captures its role: it is designed to feel natural from the driver's seat while remaining credible for business passengers or family in the rear. A 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 produces 420 kW and 850 Nm, with maximum torque available from 1,600 rpm. An official second-generation media specification sheet lists 5,546 mm length, 1,571 mm unladen height, a 3,295 mm wheelbase and a 500-litre boot. The sheet's combined door-and-seat line also contains an evident door-count error; the current four-door description is used instead. Rolls-Royce Johannesburg says price depends on the specification, so buyers need a complete written commission and insurer review. Its all-wheel-drive chassis, strong low-speed torque and carefully integrated cabin systems support daily use, yet its size and bespoke value still require planning. The second-generation Ghost was introduced in South Africa in 2020 and evolved into Ghost Series II in October 2024. Current standard-wheelbase second-generation Ghost with all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering and Planar Suspension. Ghost is suited to long owner-driven trips because maximum torque arrives at 1,600 rpm and the chassis combines all-wheel drive, road-reading suspension technology and an eight-speed transmission. Its all-wheel drive is intended to support traction and composure, not to imply low range, a published wading depth or trail protection. The Ghost Ghost Series II has a clearer South African buying case when its sedan shape is connected to the work it must do. The useful starting points are a sedan body and Petrol power; together they explain more than a badge or a screen size for Ghost Ghost Series II. For daily transport, the deciding question is whether the vehicle remains comfortable and affordable after ordinary fuel, insurance, tyre and service costs are included for Ghost Ghost Series II

Where the Rolls-Royce Ghost Fits Best

A practical view of the buyer and roads this model is best suited to.

Who buys this

Ghost Ghost Series II makes the most sense for an owner whose route and budget agree with the flagship trim

City
It gives a 13-metre turning circle, equivalent to a 6.5-metre radius, plus 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and a governed 250 km/h maximum. Drive the Ghost Ghost Series II through the tightest parking area, a steep ramp, a speed hump and stop-start traffic. Engine of 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 petrol matters when the cabin or load is full, and a power output of 420 kW @ 5000 rpm can change the cost of repeated short trips
Highway
Flagbearer cameras read the road ahead and Satellite Aided Transmission uses location data to help choose a suitable gear. Run Ghost Ghost Series II at legal cruising speed, include a hill and a safe overtake, and see whether the driver can remain relaxed after an hour. The interaction between an active listing, engine of 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 petrol and a power output of 420 kW @ 5000 rpm is more informative than maximum speed
Off-Road
Extended adds rear-suite space through its longer format; standard Ghost is the more coherent answer when the owner drives regularly, deals with tighter parking or does not repeatedly need the additional rear room. For Ghost Ghost Series II, the sensible check is the exact all-wheel drive arrangement, tyre specification, load and protection underneath
