Rolls-Royce has unveiled the Ghost Prism, a limited edition of 120, referencing the British marque’s 120th anniversary, inspired by the worlds of design and fashion. Exhibiting meticulous attention to detail, this sensational sedan has one purpose, and that’s to redefine automotive aesthetics.
At the heart of the Rolls-Royce Ghost Prism is its striking exterior. Pictured is an iteration with a gunmetal grey mineral finish, achieved through an exacting 10-step process, where four layers of paint are applied and hand-polished for 16 hours, resulting in a flawless surface that captures the essence of modern luxury.

Naturally, clients are able to appoint their interior suite with a near-limitless number of bespoke colourways. Early Ghost Prism commissions incorporate a light and vibrant palette, in contrast to the bold authority of the car’s exterior.
The grille and rear-lid brightwork are presented in high-gloss Burnout, a smoked black-grey hue. To achieve this effect, each metal piece is hand prepared by RR artisans: first, a light abrasive is used across each piece to provide a ‘key’ for a hard wearing primer, onto which four coats of Burnout paint is then applied.
After curing, these pieces are individually polished to ensure that they match the high-gloss brilliance of the motor car’s coachwork. In keeping with the understated aesthetic of Ghost Prism, the front bumper and side profile brightwork feature a deep gloss black finish.
To further enhance its contemporary allure, the Ghost Prism offers potential owners a choice of four bold accent colours – Phoenix Red, Turchese, Mandarin, and Forge Yellow – to create striking contrasts against the dark, neutral tones of the exterior.
These accents adorn the lower bumper inserts, brake callipers, coachline, and even extend to the 1,040 coloured ‘stars’ in the bespoke Starlight headliner, each individually placed in the leather canvas through perforated holes, precisely chalked and punched by hand – which fill the cabin with an interstellar glow.
Speaking about the Ghost Prism, Anders Warming, Director of Design at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, emphasised the marque’s commitment to its discerning clientele: “We are led by the tastes and desires of our clients, who in many cases determine global trends in fashion and the wider luxury sector. Ghost Prism celebrates the unique relationship we have with them.”
And the price? That’s on application, but anticipate a significant premium over the standard Ghost’s £270,000 ticket.
