Thanks: First One 2024 Rolls-Royce Ghost Starting at $ Highs: Floats over road imperfections, seemingly endless power reserves, simultaneously conspicuous and tasteful. Lows: Brake pedal lacks feel, roof pillars block the view, extraordinary price tag. Verdict: It may cost twice as much as its key rivals, but the Ghost's opulence is unmatched, and for some that'll mean it's money well spent. Overview It may be slightly cheaper than the Phantom, but there's nothing cheap about the 2024 Rolls-Royce Ghost. From tip to tail, this luxury limo exudes glamour and sophistication. A V-12 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 power-player 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 buttery-soft leather or high-pile lambswool floormats. Ready to live your Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous 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? Rolls-Royce 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/ Rolls-Royce 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. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2024 Rolls-Royce Ghost starts at $ and goes up to $ depending on the trim and options. Base: $354,750 Prism Edition: $379,200 Extended Wheelbase: $402,250 Black Badge: $416,250 The 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 Ghost is powered by a 563-hp 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.
