Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Rolls-Royce Ghost II

MANSORY for the Rolls-Royce Ghost III — Architecture of Luxury, restated in carbon

The Rolls-Royce Ghost III (chassis code RR31, on sale from September 2020) is a clean break from every Ghost that came before. The first two Ghost generations — Ghost I (2010-2014) and Ghost II Series II (2014-2020) — both lived on the RR4 platform, an aluminium-and-steel hybrid floorpan whose engineering era was shared, in floorpan terms only, with the BMW 7 Series F01. The Ghost III moves to the Architecture of Luxury, the all-aluminium spaceframe Goodwood designed in-house and now uses across Phantom VIII, Cullinan and Ghost III. The platform change is what justifies a separate Mansory catalogue page from the 2014-2020 Ghost II Facelift kit. Body geometry, wheelbase, intake apertures, lamp graphics and rear-fender lines are all RR31-specific, and the older RR4 panel set does not transfer onto this car.

Hodoor lists three Ghost-family Mansory programmes in parallel: this RR31 Ghost III set, the Ghost II Series II Facelift set for the 2014-2020 RR4 cars, and the older Ghost I (2010-2014) programme. A lighter Ghost soft-kit overlay remains in the catalogue for owners of either RR4 generation who prefer a partial carbon programme. The cross-marque Goodwood siblings, both also on the Architecture of Luxury, are the Cullinan and the Cullinan MY2025 facelift.

Architecture of Luxury — what changed under the body

The platform shift is the load-bearing fact. Goodwood's Architecture of Luxury debuted on the Phantom VIII (RR12) in 2017, expanded to the Cullinan SUV (RR41) in 2018, and reached the Ghost in 2020 as RR31 — three years later, but on identical structural logic. Aluminium spaceframe construction replaces the RR4's steel-aluminium hybrid floor, the rear suspension is a five-link multilink with planar suspension geometry (the world's first production application — a damper above the front upper wishbone canceling vertical acceleration before it reaches the cabin), and four-wheel steering becomes standard rather than optional. Wheelbase: 3 295 mm (standard) or 3 465 mm (Extended Wheelbase, EWB +170 mm). Length: 5 546 mm, 147 mm longer than the Ghost II. Kerb weight: 2 553 kg standard, approximately 2 690 kg for the EWB. The car is meaningfully larger and quieter than its predecessor; the carbon programme respects that quietness.

What ships in the carbon set

The RR31 Mansory schedule, dimensioned to the Architecture of Luxury bodyshell:

• Carbon front bumper with revised lower intake, central radiator duct and recalibrated brake-cooling vents. The intake aperture is RR31-specific and does not cross with the Ghost II.
• Carbon bonnet with discreet heat-extraction louvre, leading-edge profile preserved for the laser-headlamp module.
• Carbon front fender pair matched to the RR31 fender geometry (the Ghost III fender is wider and longer than the Ghost II — the parts are not interchangeable).
• Carbon Pantheon grille frame framing the illuminated grille without altering vertical-vane signature or the Spirit of Ecstasy proportions; the grille's optional illumination LED ring remains operational.
• Carbon side skirts, separate-length items for standard-wheelbase and EWB cars.
• Carbon mirror housings with lane-change indicator integration.
• Carbon rear deck-lid lip tuned to a low profile that does not announce the car at a residence kerb-side.
• Carbon rear bumper with exposed lower valance and twin oval exhaust bezels matched to the OEM exhaust footprint.

Standard surface is a 2x2 twill weave with a clear-lacquer protective overcoat. Optional finishes: matte clear, paint-to-sample matched to the body coachline, or a forged-carbon visible-flake surface for owners who want a contemporary read. Hand-laid construction follows Goodwood's panel-fit tolerances; door-shut lines and panel-gap geometry remain at factory specification after install.

BMW N74B68 6.75 L twin-turbo V12 — what carries an Architecture of Luxury saloon

RR31 powertrain: the BMW N74B68, a 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged 48-valve V12 derived from the same N74 family used across Phantom VIII and the previous-generation Ghost II, now bored and mapped specifically for the RR31. Output: 571 hp at 5 000 rpm, 850 Nm from 1 600 rpm. Torque arrives at 1 600 rpm and stays there; the transmission is the ZF 8HP satellite-aided automatic, which uses GPS map data to pre-select the ratio appropriate to the road geometry ahead. Drivetrain: all-wheel drive (a Ghost first — the RR4 cars were rear-drive only) with four-wheel steering. Performance: 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, governed top speed 250 km/h. Mansory's RR31 programme is a body-and-wheels catalogue; the N74B68 retains factory mapping by default. Owners who request a calibration upgrade and a sport-exhaust commission are quoted as a separate per-VIN order.

Wheels — 22" / 23" forged for the Architecture of Luxury

Factory Ghost III wheels run at 21" or 22" in standard sizes. The Mansory RR31 catalogue ships 22" front / 23" rear staggered as the default fitment, with flat 23" staggered available for owners who want the contemporary stance. Patterns: FD.16 dual-spoke concave, YN.5 multi-spoke, M.7 classic multi-spoke. Finishes: satin black, two-tone diamond-cut, polished-with-contrast-spoke, paint-to-sample matched to the coachline. Fitment is forged and TÜV-documented to the RR31's kerb weight and to the EWB's additional mass where applicable. Tyre fitment for the staggered set: 255/45 R22 front, 295/35 R23 rear. The full forged catalogue lives at Hodoor forged wheels; centre caps are supplied with the discreet hub-cover option for owners who want the Mansory monogram out of sight from the driveway.

Where Ghost III ownership concentrates

The RR31 Ghost III order book is a quieter map than the Cullinan's. Ghost owners tend to keep the car as a primary saloon for chauffeur and owner-driver duty, with the SUV and Phantom held in the garage alongside. The principal corridors:

• UAE and Saudi Arabia sit at the top of the order book. Royal-family and high-net-worth principals replace Ghost II cars with RR31s on lease cycles of 18-24 months; the Mansory commission tends to follow the principal across the cycle, with the carbon programme installed inside the first two months of delivery.
• Qatar follows on a similar pattern at lower volume but at a higher rate of full-kit-plus-23"-forged combinations.
• Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore form the Asia financial corridor. Most Asian RR31 commissions specify the EWB and the discreet rear deck-lid lip rather than the full visible-aero programme — the chauffeur read takes priority over the driver read.
• Monaco, Switzerland and the Austrian Alpine corridor hold the European financial-family share. Switzerland in particular specifies the standard-wheelbase Ghost III at a higher rate than the EWB; the car is more often owner-driven than chauffeur-driven in the Geneva-Zurich-Lugano triangle.
• United Kingdom, the donor's domestic market, runs principally on private commissions through the Mayfair-and-Surrey corridor. UK orders frequently specify the matching Cullinan kit in the same paint family as part of a two-car programme.
• Tsar programme serves the CIS tail at lower visible volume; deliveries route through closed-network freight rather than retail channels.

FAQ

Will the RR31 kit fit a 2014-2020 Ghost II Series II?
No. The Ghost II Series II Facelift sits on the RR4 platform with a different wheelbase, different fender geometry and different lamp graphics. The RR31 panels do not align with the older car. The Ghost II Facelift programme is on a separate page — linked here.

Standard wheelbase or EWB — what changes?
The bonnet, fenders, grille frame, mirror housings, front bumper and rear bumper are common between the standard and Extended Wheelbase. Side skirts are bespoke-length items: the EWB skirts are 170 mm longer than the standard set. Rear deck-lid lip is shared. Specify SWB or EWB at commission.

Black Badge variant — is the kit different?
No. The Ghost III Black Badge runs the same RR31 panel geometry as the standard Ghost III; the Black Badge differences are powertrain calibration (591 hp / 900 Nm), interior trim, the Vapour Grey colour signature, and the dark-chrome detailing on the OEM brightwork. The Mansory carbon set fits without revision. Owners who want the Black Badge dark-chrome aesthetic can specify a satin-black Mansory finish that picks up the Black Badge palette.

What about the optional illuminated Pantheon grille?
The illuminated grille is a Goodwood factory option introduced in late 2021. The Mansory carbon grille frame is engineered around the OEM illumination LED harness — the illumination function remains fully operational with the Mansory frame in place. Specify illuminated-grille fitment at commission so the harness routing is preserved.

Does the kit affect Goodwood's two-year unlimited-mileage warranty?
Body-panel warranties on the replaced panels (front and rear bumpers, fenders, bonnet) are necessarily superseded — those panels are no longer Goodwood-supplied. The N74B68 powertrain warranty, ZF 8HP transmission warranty, electrical-system warranty and chassis-frame warranty all remain in force; no mechanical or structural modification is involved in the carbon programme. Owners are encouraged to advise their authorised Rolls-Royce dealer of the modification at the next service interval as a matter of record.

Does the four-wheel-steering require recalibration after the Mansory wheels are fitted?
No. The 22"/23" forged set is dimensioned to the OEM rolling circumference; ride-height calibration is not affected.
