The Rolls‑Royce Ghost is a full‑size luxury sedan built for ultimate comfort, presence, and refinement. It sits below the Phantom in Rolls‑Royce’s range but still feels like a flagship car thanks to its silent ride, powerful engine, and hand‑crafted interior.
Ultra‑luxury four‑door sedan
The Ghost is a five‑seat, four‑door saloon with a long, elegant profile and a high‑sitting stance. Its large glass area and upright grille give it a commanding look on the road, while the soft‑closing doors and vault‑like body add to the sense of occasion. In Kenya, it is often chosen as a chauffeur‑driven flagship for business owners, senior executives, and high‑profile personalities.
Smooth 6.75‑litre V12 power
Under the hood, the Ghost uses a 6.75‑litre twin‑turbo V12 petrol engine, delivering around 563 hp and 820 Nm of torque. Power is sent through an 8‑speed automatic gearbox with intelligent mapping, so the car feels effortless whether you are cruising on the highway or pulling away in traffic. The Ghost can accelerate from 0–100 km/h in under five seconds, yet it remains whisper‑quiet thanks to extensive sound insulation and active noise control.
Magic‑carpet ride quality
Rolls‑Royce engineers call the Ghost’s ride “magic carpet” because of how it isolates passengers from bumps and road noise. The “Planar” suspension system with adaptive dampers and all‑wheel steering helps the car glide over poorly surfaced roads while staying stable at high speed. In addition, the Ghost has all‑wheel drive in the latest models, giving you extra grip on Nairobi’s wet streets or rough sections on long‑distance trips.
Bespoke interior and starry‑sky cabin
Inside, the Ghost feels like a private lounge. The cabin is wrapped in full‑leather upholstery, open‑pore wood, and metal trim, with every panel finished by hand. Rear passengers get wide, deeply padded seats, often with massage, ventilation, and recline functions, plus a coolbox and champagne glasses in higher trims. The roof can be optioned with a Starlight Headliner, which uses tiny fiber‑optic lights to create a starry‑sky effect above the rear seats.
Tech and safety for a flagship owner
The Ghost offers a modern infotainment setup with a large touchscreen, smartphone integration, and a high‑end audio system. Safety includes adaptive cruise control, lane‑keeping assist, automated emergency braking, and multiple airbags, so it feels secure even in busy city traffic. For buyers in Kenya, the Ghost represents a mix of heritage, status, and cutting‑edge engineering, making it a top choice for those who want the ultimate luxury sedan without the sheer size of a Phantom.
