Rolls-Royce Ghost Overview

(5/5)  13 votes

Rolls-Royce was officially established as a company by Charles Rolls and Henry Royce in 1906, and the two would go on to make the company a powerhouse in the automobile and aviation industries alike. Founded over one hundred years ago in Manchester, England, these car making legends have created some of the finest luxury automobiles ever produced. Today, the Rolls-Royce name is synonymous with luxury, class, status and an almost impossibly smooth drive.

For the greater part of automotive history, Roll-Royce has been one of the most widely revered names in automotive manufacturing. As a testament to the company’s reliability and reputation, the British military employed Rolls-Royce in creating engines and vehicles for the both the land and the air for each world war. Now owned by German automotive geniuses BMW, Rolls-Royce still operates out of England.

Rolls-Royce Ghost Features

The Rolls-Royce Ghost, like its little brother the Wraith, is based on the body of the BMW 7 series. While the BMW 7 series is an incredible car in its own right, the classic composition and design of the Rolls-Royce Phantom is manufactured entirely by Rolls-Royce, making it the most authentic car currently produced by the company. For this reason, the 2014 Ghost has a base price of $303,300. While this may seem like a small fortune (and it is), it is under two thirds the price of the Phantom.

While it may not be the bona fide classic that the Phantom is, the Rolls-Royce Ghost is a spectacular car in its own right. The car began production in 2010, and a new model has been introduced every year. Not only does the Ghost offer every excessive luxury that has come to be expected when dealing with a Rolls-Royce manufactured automobile (including the fine leather- well, everything), but the car’s performance numbers are rather impressive as well.

Rolls-Royce Ghost: Luxury and Powerful

Its 6.6 liter twin turbocharged V12 engine produces 563 horsepower and aids the car in achieving its impressive 4.7 second 0-60 time. This time is incredible for a full sized sedan, considering all the weight and bulk the vehicle is lugging around. Additionally, the Ghost has an electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour, which should be more than enough speed for anyone who would be driving a Rolls-Royce.

As is the case for every Rolls-Royce vehicle, the true appeal of the Ghost lies in its interior luxuries, its majestic exterior appearance and its incredibly smooth driving style. Its 8 speed gearbox allows for an almost impossibly smooth driving experience, and its classic outward appearance emanates a clear air of elegance. All in all, the Ghost is an incredibly impressive vehicle in every aspect, something we have come to expect from Rolls-Royce by now.
