CarTell take

We haven't driven the Ghost yet. On paper, specify Extended only if you spend more time in the rear seat than the front. Bespoke commissioning needs lead time. Towing is not published for the Ghost in Australia.

Why consider it

  • 6.75L twin-turbo V12 at 420 kW is the smoothest powertrain on sale anywhere.
  • Planar suspension uses a forward-facing camera to pre-adjust dampers for a real magic-carpet ride.
  • Series II illuminated fascia, a starfield of 90,000 laser-etched dots, and the Starlight Headliner deliver unmatched cabin theatre.

What to know

  • From $680,000 plus on-roads, with Extended at $777,000 and Black Badge at $800,000.
  • Luxury Car Tax punishes the on-road price brutally above the threshold.
  • 4-year warranty is generous but behind some volume-luxury German brands.

Who it suits

Owner-drivers wanting the smoothest V12 powertrain on sale, Bespoke buyers commissioning at the Goodwood suite, chauffeur use cases that suit the Extended's 170 mm extra rear legroom, and theatre seekers drawn to the illuminated fascia and Starlight Headliner.
