The bold presence of 2024 Rolls-Royce Ghost is displayed in this model that has a Black Diamond exterior and a Black interior. Created with a specific purchaser in mind, this particular model attracts creators, achievers, and believers alike to express themselves on the road. The prestigious rear-drive Ghost comes powered by a smooth and potent 563-hp, 575-lb-ft of torque 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V-12 mated to an eight-speed automatic. The performance of the vehicle lends a 0-60 time of just 4.8 seconds. The exquisite elegance of detail and design within the cabin will transport passengers to a state of euphoria. With such a purposeful presence, Ghost dares you to discover its full potential.

The 2024 Rolls-Royce Ghost is the entry-level Rolls, but what an entry. The list of standard and optional equipment is mesmerizing and long, and Rolls-Royce 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 decision-making to you, but we’d recommend the extended wheelbase model to maximize rear-seat legroom.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The 2024 Rolls-Royce Ghost is powered by a 563-hp 6.7-liter V-12 that is shared with the Cullinan SUV; Black Badge models get a boost in power to 592 hp. An eight-speed automatic handles shifting duties, and all-wheel drive is standard. According to Rolls-Royce, 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. Rolls-Royce also boasts that the Ghost offers sharp handling, pointing to its all-wheel-steering 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 road-scanning camera to help the vehicle anticipate and compensate for potholes. Of course.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

The EPA estimates that the 2024 Rolls-Royce Ghost will return 12 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. Once we get a chance, we’ll put the Ghost through our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test and update this story with the results.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

Like the cabin of any Rolls-Royce, the new 2024 Rolls-Royce Ghost’s is opulent, with every surface, knob, switch, and lever crafted from quality materials. Think thick carpet, finely grained leather, real wood and metal accents, and even an available headliner with tiny integrated LEDs to simulate a starlit sky. An illuminated dashboard inlay glows when the driver turns on the Ghost, adding to the starry-night ambiance. Rear-seat passengers are treated to such luxuries as massaging seats, an entertainment system, and acres of legroom. It’s nothing less than expected for a car in the same class as the Bentley Flying Spur and the Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-class.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Rolls-Royce offers a host of driver-assistance features as standard on the Ghost, including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. For more information about the Ghost’s crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:

  • Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
  • Standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
  • Standard adaptive cruise control
