Early Rolls-Royce Ghost given modern refresh ends up looking comical, awaits correct wheel set

This body kit offers a whole new look for the over-a-decade-old Rolls-Royce Ghost luxury sedan, although it’s a pity that the owner did not also upgrade the rims to the newer version, which would have provided a more balanced and sophisticated appearance.

Over 200 units of the Rolls-Royce Ghost luxury sedan can be found in the Vietnamese market, most of which are from the first generation. This particular model has been popular among collectors, but after more than a decade on the road, the new generation was launched 3 years ago, making the previous models appear outdated. To make their cars stand out, many owners resort to repainting or upgrading the bodykits.

One wealthy individual in Hanoi took the more drastic step of upgrading to the appearance of the new model, without going through a third-party tuner. This approach could potentially deceive many into thinking it’s the latest generation Rolls-Royce Ghost, but there are some telltale signs.

The body kit applied here is quite attractive and gives the 11-year-old Rolls-Royce Ghost a fresh appearance. Notable changes include a redesigned front fascia with a new bumper, LED headlights like the top-of-the-line model, and a chrome strip below the headlights. Moving to the rear, the most striking difference between the first-generation Rolls-Royce Ghost and the second-generation model is the addition of sleek LED taillights, which have been retrofitted here.

As mentioned before, it’s unfortunate that the owner did not also upgrade to the newer model’s wheels, which would have balanced out the look and added a touch of elegance. This is the most obvious giveaway that this 2013 Rolls-Royce Ghost has been upgraded to resemble the latest generation. First-generation Rolls-Royce Ghost models currently range in price from 5.9 billion to 8 billion VND, depending on their condition, while the Series II models command higher prices.

The first generation of Rolls-Royce Ghost is equipped with a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, producing 562 horsepower and 780 Nm of torque.

The engine is paired with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, enabling the Rolls-Royce Ghost to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about 5 seconds. The top speed is 250 km/h.
