Rolls-Royce Ghost

British iconic brand Rolls-Royce Motors Cars, headquarters in Goodwood, UK, launched its four-door super-luxury saloon ‘GHOST’, for the first time in India, priced at Rs 2.5 crore.

Ghost is the first in a new Rolls-Royce model series. It is smaller and more dynamic than previous models Phantom extended wheelbase (four door saloons), Phantom Drophead Coupe (convertible) and Phantom Coupe (fixed roof). Production of Ghost will start at Goodwood and the first customer cars are expected to be delivered to India by the second quarter of 2010.

Rolls-Royce Ghost is the most powerful Rolls-Royce built to date. Ghost comes with unique 6.6 litre twin-turbo charged V12 engine and a new 8-speed automatic ZF gearbox.

The car Ghost will be available in 12 colors. It will be imported from the UK. The company will take 3-5 months in delivering the car.

“Ghost is a more informal design that broadens the appeal of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, combining refinement, new technology and contemporary style. It bears all the hallmarks of other Rolls-Royce cars, using the finest wood and leather materials and employing manufacturing standards which are no different to Phantom. Ghost will be built-to-order”, said Colin Kelly, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Asia Pacific Regional Director.

“Brenda Pek, General Manager, South & East Asia Pacific said, “We have seen a healthy level of interest around Ghost in India, which started earlier this year during the 200EX world tour”. Ghost has appealed to a broader set of Indian buyers, which has futher strengthened the high demand that we are experiencing around the region despite the current economic climate”.

The interior of Ghost features a number of Rolls-Royce design cues such as traditional violin key switches and eyeball air vents.  The interior space is filled with natural light, enhanced by an optional Panorama sunroof, which extends from the front into the rear compartment. Four-zone automatic air conditioning, automatic air recirculation, condensation prevention and solar compensation, lounge or individual seating offer outstanding comfort for passenger.

Ghost has the peak power ouput of 563bhp/420kW / 570PS at 5250rpm is combined with a maximum torque of 780Nm / 575lb ft only 1500 rpm. The result is that Ghost is able to reach 60mph in 4.7 seconds / 0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds, and an electronically governed top speed of 155mph / 250km/h. The new drive train significantly improves Rolls-Royce Motors Cars class leading position on CO2 (317g/km) and fuel efficiency.
