Ghost Series II – changes at a glance
Evolutionary design
Ghost Series II presents significant recent technological updates in an exterior package that represents
evolutionary changes to Ghost’s timeless aesthetic.
• A contemporary re-imagining of Ghost’s front face; re-engineered and re-designed LED headlights
are framed by day-time running lights.
• 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.
• New paint and wheel options giving customers greater scope for Bespoke personalization.
Interior design
• Re-designed front seats include electronically adjustable thigh supports and depth adjustment. Rear
seats have been subtly re-angled to augment effortless communication with fellow passengers.
• The clock fascia and instrument dials are enhanced with the addition of polished metal chaplets
that evoke premium watch design.
• Option of extending natural grain leather to the A and C pillars.

• The scope for Bespoke customisation is extended with the introduction of two new, exquisitely
crafted veneers: Paldao and Walnut Burr Crossband.
Technological and engineering enhancements
• 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 anti-glare technology deflects light when a car approaches in the other
direction, giving Ghost Series II drivers the benefit of full-beam headlights at all times.
• Suspension enhancements include re-engineered front and rear struts, new steering gear and
adjusted dampers that increase the car’s cornering ability when the Dynamic Driving Package is
specified.
• New hydraulic rear axle bearings enhance ride quality and rear stability whilst reducing vibrations
and cabin intrusions.
• All Ghost Series II motor cars feature Satellite Aided Transmission as standard – a technology that
utilizes GPS and mapping data to ensure the car is always in the correct gear when negotiating
turns, motorway exists and roundabouts.
