Rolls Royce Ghost Series 2 launched in India, prices start at Rs 8.95 crore
India: Premium carmaker Rolls-Royce has launched the Ghost Series 2 in India. The price of the car starts at Rs 8.95 crore and goes up to Rs 10.52 crore for the top-end trim. The company has started booking it in the country. Deliveries of the new Ghost Series 2 will begin from early 2025.
The Rolls-Royce Ghost Series made its international debut in September 2024. It features upgraded design, technology and features over its predecessor. It sports a bold look inspired by the Cullinan Series II SUV. It features 22-inch alloy wheels and has a small lower air dam with headlights surrounded by prominent daytime running lights (DRL). At the rear, it gets new LED taillights motif. Apart from that, the design remains the same.
On the inside, it gets several new material options including Grey Stained Ash and Duality Twill. Rolls-Royce says the average Ghost buyer spends about 10 per cent of the car’s retail price on customisation. Furthermore, the Duality Twill interior takes 20 hours to complete and involves 2.2 million stitches and about 17.7 km of thread.
The cabin also features a new glass panel across the width of the dashboard. An update to the digital instrument cluster’s
software will allow buyers to match the background theme to the exterior paint. Rolls-Royce also claims that the in-car connectivity system has been upgraded, allowing rear passengers to connect two streaming devices to their respective screens. The rear infotainment system can also be paired with wireless headphones. The amplifier for the audio system is a 1,400W unit, up from the 1,300W system available on its predecessor.
Mechanically, the Ghost facelift remains identical to the older model. It gets the same 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 engine mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. In the Standard and Extended versions, this engine produces 555 bhp and 850 Nm, while in the Black Badge it produces 584 bhp and 900 Nm. The automaker says it has raised the breakpoint on the Black Badge, reduced pedal travel, and added a ‘Low’ drive mode with 50 per cent faster gear changes when the throttle is 90 per cent open.

The car’s price starts at Rs 8.95 crore for the base Standard trim and goes up to Rs 10.19 crore for the Extended mid-trim and Rs 10.52 crore for the top-end Black Badge trim.
