The first-generation Rolls-Royce Ghost (internal chassis code RR4, introduced at Frankfurt 2009, series production 2010-2014) was Rolls-Royce's first post-relaunch effort to build a car that would sit below the Phantom in the Goodwood hierarchy — a saloon on a scaled-down derivative of the F01 BMW 7-Series platform that BMW had developed for its own flagship, re-engineered at Goodwood with a unique 6.592-litre twin-turbocharged V12 (N74B67) producing 563 hp and 780 Nm. The Ghost's brief was subtle rather than imposing: where the Phantom announces, the Ghost enters. Mansory's programme for the pre-facelift Ghost respects exactly that brief — it is a carbon accent programme, not a widebody, designed to sharpen the car's already-exceptional proportions with discreet pre-preg carbon components on the front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser, boot spoiler, and mirror-caps, plus Bespoke-atelier-compatible interior retrim and Mansory forged wheels in 21"–22" staggered configuration.
Mansory's Rolls-Royce programmes span a philosophical spectrum. The Cullinan Novitec Overdose and Wraith II programmes lean toward widebody transformation; the Phantom Drophead bel air programme is a California-themed refinement; the Dawn Soft Kit adds restrained accents to the convertible successor. The Ghost I programme lives at the quietest end of this spectrum — carbon enhancement that remains visually below the threshold where a casual observer would identify the car as modified. The Ghost's standard proportions — 5.399 m length, 1.948 m width, long-wheelbase variant adding 170 mm — are preserved. No bonded arch extensions, no full-replacement bumpers, no visible widebody geometry. Mansory carbon is limited to discreet accents that the Rolls-Royce factory itself could have specified through Bespoke, had such parts been available to the atelier.
Mansory Ghost I refinement schedule: carbon front-lip add-on mounted below the factory front bumper (preserves all crash-absorbing structure and pedestrian-protection calibration); carbon side-skirt accent overlays bonded onto factory rocker panels; carbon mirror-housing replacements (hand-sanded exposed-weave or painted body-colour finish); carbon boot-lid spoiler subtle integrated-lip design; carbon rear-diffuser add-on below the factory rear bumper with stainless exhaust-tip bezels; carbon front-grille surround trim (optional, for owners preferring subdued-luxury aesthetic); Mansory forged wheels 21" or 22" staggered; Mansory stainless-steel twin-exit sports exhaust (quiet-profile tuned for V12 factory NVH envelope); optional full Mansory interior retrim in Bespoke-compatible saddle-grade leather with diamond-quilted seatback panels, carbon-weave dashboard and door-card inlays, Alcantara headliner, and lambswool floor-mat overlays. All components are non-destructive add-ons — reversible to factory state for future Concours-level ownership transfer.

Engine: BMW-derived N74B67 6.592-litre twin-turbocharged V12, 60°, direct injection, VANOS variable valve timing, twin turbochargers in hot-vee layout. Power: 563 hp at 5 250 rpm / 780 Nm at 1 500-4 500 rpm. Transmission: ZF 8HP (8-speed automatic). Drivetrain: rear-wheel drive. Chassis: scaled-down F01 BMW 7-Series platform re-engineered at Goodwood (aluminium subframes, high-strength steel monocoque). Suspension: four-corner air-springs with adaptive damping. 0-100 km/h: 4.9 s. Top speed: 250 km/h (electronically limited). Kerb weight: 2 470 kg (SWB) / 2 535 kg (LWB). Ghost Extended Wheelbase (EWB): factory LWB option adds 170 mm. Notable options: Bespoke paint, teakwood rear-console integration, Alcantara headliner, lambswool overlays, BespokeAudio. The programme supports both standard and EWB variants with minor rear-bumper geometry adaptation for EWB donors. Does NOT cover the post-2014 Ghost Series II (post-facelift) — which is served by the separate Mansory Ghost II programme.
Factory Ghost I wheel spec: 19" standard, 20"-21" optional. Mansory programme recommends 21" or 22" staggered forged designs, in patterns FM.5 (multi-spoke forged), S.16 (machined-silver face referencing Silver Dawn classical aesthetic), Y.6 (forked-Y modern), FD.11 (concave dual-spoke) in finishes: satin-polished-bronze, brushed-aluminium-and-polished bicolour, full-polished, matte black, or paint-to-sample Rolls-Royce Bespoke colour codes. Tyre fitment: 255/40 R21 front / 285/40 R21 rear (21" spec); 255/35 R22 front / 285/35 R22 rear (22" spec). TÜV-documented for Ghost kerb weight (~2 470-2 535 kg).

The Ghost's demographics span the Gulf, North America, the United Kingdom, and Asia-Pacific wealth centres. Primary Mansory Ghost I markets: the United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi — strong Ghost I second-owner market), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, United Kingdom (Goodwood home-market chassis), Switzerland, Austria, Monaco, Netherlands, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Croatia, Turkey, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, China, South Korea, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco. Country-specific shipping and installer guides: UAE, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Nigeria.
Mansory's Rolls-Royce catalogue on hodoor.world: Ghost I (this programme), Ghost II (post-2014 Series II), Wraith and Wraith II (coupé successor to Phantom Coupé), Dawn and Dawn Soft Kit (open-top Wraith-derived), Phantom VIII (8th-generation sedan), Phantom Drophead Coupé bel air, Cullinan and Cullinan Novitec Overdose-S, Spectre (electric flagship). The Ghost I lives immediately below Wraith / Phantom Coupé and above the later Ghost Series II in the Mansory Rolls-Royce hierarchy.
Order specification requires: Ghost I VIN, short-wheelbase or Extended Wheelbase confirmation, model year (2009-2014), existing Bespoke-atelier paint code and interior specification, target carbon-accent scope, wheel design and finish, optional interior-retrim leather grade and stitching pattern, and destination country. Because the programme is Bespoke-adjacent, Mansory coordinates with existing Rolls-Royce Bespoke documentation. Production: 8-12 weeks for carbon components, exhaust, and wheels; 14-18 weeks if Mansory interior retrim is included. Installation at authorised specialist: 2-3 weeks. Contact: hodoor.world/page/about-us or email [email protected].
Does the kit alter the Ghost's silhouette? No — the refinement programme adds carbon accents only; factory proportions and body geometry are preserved.
Is the Ghost EWB (Extended Wheelbase) fully supported? Yes — the programme supports both SWB and EWB donors, with rear-bumper geometry variant for the EWB's extended rear overhang.
Will existing Rolls-Royce Bespoke paint and interior specifications be preserved? Yes — Mansory coordinates directly with Bespoke atelier documentation; all Bespoke paint codes and interior details are retained.
Does the V12 receive any power modification? Not as part of this refinement programme. Engine tuning (approximately 600 hp via ECU remap and intake/exhaust upgrades) is available as a separate order.
Can Mansory work on Ghost Series II (post-2014) donors? No — Series II post-facelift donors require the separate Ghost II programme, which has different front-fascia geometry.
Is the programme reversible for Concours-level resale? Yes — all carbon components attach via non-destructive adhesive and fixtures; the donor can be returned to factory specification without panel damage.
Typical timeline from order to installed conversion? Approximately 3-4 months (8-12 weeks production + 2-3 weeks installation); longer if Mansory interior retrim is included.
