No need to fear about the ghostly appeal of Rolls Royce that a new saloon the Ghost is on the roads. The model had its proto during the 2006 Paris show and Rolls Royce devised the vehicle at an affordable price! (Rs2,50,00,000). The figures as lengthy as the car- 5.5m and can neither fit into small nor medium-range since there is no firm affirmation for the term affordability. The car, despite its exorbitant cost factor, has several qualities to its worth – as a redefined version of BMW 7-series, the Ghost is built with aluminium spaceframe covering the Phantom for a steel monocoque skeleton.
The choice of aluminum body ensures extra space inside, says the company. The car is empowered to run with a direct injection 6.6lit twin-turbo V12 producing 563bhp @5250rpm and 575lb ft out of 1500rpm. These outputs remind of Phantom yet the car does not beg on any compromise for marketing strategies, said the designer. The wheels are run with an 8-speed automatic gearbox drawn from 0-60mph in 4.7sec. The Ghost has an appeal from all angles and fits in for an extraordinary classical piece and exclusive of Rolls Royce’s reputation. The designer claims that the car would grab customers for its formal look and with innovative door patterns are in store.
Affordable, haha
