Revised surface treatments including re-sculptured bumpers that present a wider, more dynamic stance.

A new bonnet design featuring tapered ‘wake channel’ emanating from the Spirit of Ecstasy that hints at Ghost Series II’s dynamism.
-
The waft line leans further forwards, giving further expression to Ghost’s dynamic driving experience.

Interior design

Re-designed LED headlights incorporating the latest technologies. A whiter, brighter light augments driver safety whilst electronic reflectors move in the direction of travel in response to steering-wheel turns.

New hydraulic rear axle bearings enhance ride quality and rear stability whilst reducing vibrations and cabin intrusions.
