CarHub · Rolls-Royce
The Ghost is the Rolls-Royce built to be driven as much as ridden in: a twin-turbo V12 saloon that pairs Phantom-grade cabin silence with genuine pace.
Model profile
The first-generation Ghost launched in 2010 on a BMW-derived platform, then received the Series II facelift in 2014 with revised styling and electronics. Rolls-Royce also offered the long-wheelbase Ghost Extended for rear-seat comfort and, later, the darker, more powerful Black Badge.
Powertrain and equipment
The first-generation Ghost uses a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 producing around 563 hp (rising to about 603 hp in Black Badge form), driving the rear wheels through a ZF eight-speed automatic.
The Ghost is a four-door saloon, offered in standard and extended wheelbase, with the Black Badge as the sportier, blacked-out flagship. Bespoke options dominate, so US cars vary enormously in specification: starlight headliners, rear theatre configurations, picnic tables, contrast coachlines and near-limitless paint and leather combinations are common.
Vehicle selection
Availability is good across both generations. First-generation cars from 2011-2019 are the value entry point and typically show modest mileage; second-generation cars are newer and pricier.
Import a used Ghost from the USA if you want the full Rolls-Royce experience with real driving ability, and if you value low-mileage, well-documented cars at US market levels.

Pre-purchase review
For the Rolls-Royce Ghost, the agreed inspection plan focuses in particular on vehicle history, visible body and underbody condition, fluid leaks, warning messages, tyres, brakes and accessible suspension components. USCar Trader can document these points through a separately commissioned on-site inspection; inaccessible areas or unauthorised road tests are explicitly recorded as unchecked.
Germany and Europe
US cars carry amber side markers, mph-primary instruments, US headlamp aiming and US-band infotainment. Emissions and telematics may differ from European cars.
Typical work includes rear fog lamp fitment, headlight adjustment or replacement for the correct beam pattern, amber-free indicators where required, a km/h speedometer and a documented odometer reading.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
