Production will be capped at 50 units, each featuring a nod to the 2009 concept that previewed the Ghost.
Previewed by the 200EX concept at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, the Ghost has been around for about a decade, so it’s almost time for the stately sedan to make the transition towards its next generation. Rolls-Royce is saying goodbye to the current Ghost in a grand manner by developing an extremely bespoke special edition dubbed the “Zenith Collection.” To keep it exclusive as every RR is, the talented folks from Goodwood will make just 50 cars.
Each will have a special feature as a nod to the aforementioned concept that signaled the Ghost’s arrival some 10 years ago. A commemorative ingot made from the 200EX’s Spirit of Ecstasy molded down will adorn the center console of the Zenith Collection cars. Speaking of Rolls-Royce’s statue, it will be engraved with the special edition’s name. We can say the same thing about the analog clock on the passenger side dashboard.

As a further nod to the 200EX, the swan song for the Ghost has a special center console with an engraving of a blueprint-like artwork “enlarged to a point of abstraction” and split into 50 parts for each and every Zenith Collection car Rolls-Royce will make. Perforated leather will be applied onto the door cards, which will benefit from various types of wood trim and ambient lighting to create a cozy atmosphere inside the vehicle’s lavish cabin.
The new Zenith Collection pays tribute to the original 1907 Silver Ghost courtesy of unique embroidery for the rear seats where the pattern is inspired by the Ghost’s ancestor. Go for the extended-wheelbase version and the headliner will mimic the silhouette of the Spirit of Ecstasy, while the standard-wheelbase model will get a unique configuration of the glitzy starlight headliner to resemble a shooting star thanks to more than 1,340 fiber optic lights.
The last hurrah for the Ghost follows the same recipe Rolls-Royce used for the final series of Phantom VII cars that
were launched back in 2016 ahead of the flagship’s transition to its current eighth generation. If you have the means, you might want to hurry and get this Ghost as the company says “order books for this seminal Collection will close imminently.”

As for the next-gen Ghost, it’s been spotted undergoing testing multiple times (see spy shots below) and we’re expecting to see it sometime next year.
