[Auto] Rolls-Royce Ghost

[S e u o n g]

 

The Rolls-Royce Ghost is the smallest luxury saloon made by the British firm Rolls-Royce, a body located just below the most stately and expensive Rolls-Royce Phantom. It is a vision that aims to offer a more exclusive image of the luxury sedans in the F segment, sedans such as the Mercedes S-Class, the Audi A8, the BMW 7 Series or the Lexus LS. (See buying guide for the most expensive cars on the market.)

 

The name Ghost is a name with a long history in the Rolls-Royce family and that has known different models throughout the history of the brand. For this generation, Rolls-Royce has sought to maintain the essence of luxury, comfort and distinction of the brand's models, but betting on a more current approach where we find better dynamic behavior or greater possibilities in technology and infotainment.

 

On a technical level, the Rolls-Royce Ghost only allows you to opt for a 6.6 V12 Twin-Turbo engine of BMW origin with a power of 570 hp. This propeller is associated with an 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox with rear-wheel drive, a transmission that also has the particularity of being GPS-guided to always work at the optimum gear ratio according to the ororaphy of the terrain. Despite the power of its engine and the improvements in its chassis to provide a more dynamic behavior, the Rolls-Royce Ghost's maxim is to prioritize ride comfort over all things, which is why it offers a level of isolation and quality of tread among the best in its category.

 

The interior of the Ghost exudes classicism and quality in superlative terms, combining with technology in aspects such as the multimedia system, but always giving priority to that classic vehicle feeling. Compared to models like the Bentley Flying Spur, the main rival that also offers a fairly classic image in its cabin, the Ghost bases all its aesthetics on that concept of a luxury vehicle of yesteryear, built in a traditional way and always respecting the lines of its predecessors despite having a model developed and commercialized in the 21st century.

 

The Rolls-Royce Ghost has a body variant called the Extended Wheel Base (EWB) that adds 17 extra inches of wheelbase to increase the available legroom in the rear seats. This EWB body reaches 5.57 meters, thus serving as an alternative to all the extended wheelbase variants offered by its most direct rivals.
