Rolls-Royce Ghost by Mansory: luxury, extravagance and plenty of horsepower in equal measure

In 2021 the Rolls-Royce got a new look for the Ghost, a model that after ten years on the market had received hardly any updates, so a refresh was already overdue. Despite the changes, the English brand has managed to keep its recognisable style, seasoned with updates that undoubtedly rejuvenate it and, as is obvious, add the latest technological advances.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost, like the rest of the brand’s range, is aimed at a specific customer who isn’t necessarily looking for modifications that add sportiness. However, Mansory wanted to show that it is also a car that can be personalised in that direction. In this way the German tuner has gone to work on the refreshed Ghost and, although we might expect something that doesn’t fit at all, that isn’t the case this time, at least in my opinion, because the changes made by Mansory suit it very well.

As is to be expected from a tuner like Mansory, on the exterior of the Rolls-Royce Ghost in this case there are cosmetic changes in which carbon fibre is the main star. The front now gets a new bumper with new air intakes, where those at the lower ends also house the double daytime running light strip, while underneath a carbon fibre splitter has been fitted, finished with two fins at the ends. The large front grille, which now has a black surround, can be backlit in the colour the customer desires, and just above it sits the new carbon fibre bonnet.

Moving to the side, Mansory has continued to apply black to the door handles of the Rolls-Royce Ghost, while dark-finish carbon fibre is present on the door frames and on the trim of the side air intakes, finishing with gloss black wheels measuring 22 inches on both axles. At the rear, Mansory has fitted two discreet spoilers in carbon fibre, one on the boot lid and the other on the upper edge of the rear window. This material also features on the trim of the side air outlets and on the elaborate rear diffuser, which also integrates the enormous twin outlets of the sport exhaust system.

The interior of the Rolls-Royce Ghost also receives modifications, following a line consistent with the luxury expected in a vehicle of this kind. To achieve this, Mansory has used high-quality materials such as fine leather in a white finish with Mandarin orange contrast, a shade present on the seats, the centre armrest or the door panels, all finished with a sport steering wheel with leather and carbon fibre inserts. Finally, the seats, door panels and dashboard receive LED lighting, which complements the illuminated roof that the Ghost comes with as standard.

Mechanically the Rolls-Royce Ghost comes as standard with a 6.76-litre twin-turbo V12 engine that delivers 675 CV and 850 Nm of torque, but thanks to Mansory’s modifications to the ECU, the new turbos and the improved exhaust line, its power rises to 720 CV along with an enormous 1,020 Nm of torque. Thanks to these modifications the Ghost accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, that is, 0.4 seconds quicker than the standard car.
