Auto 2010: 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost

Friday, June 4th, 2010

All-new 2010 Rolls Royce Ghost is the latest ultra-luxury car, being half-British and half-German. The Ghost is the entry-level car, which is priced well below the larger Phantom, setting you back at $380,000.

The 2010 Ghost based on the BMW 760Li, but Rolls says the car is only 20 percent BMW. Like all Rolls-Royce models, the new Ghost is seriously luxurious with all new that you touch and see.

Under the hood, the new Ghost is a modified version of BMW’s twin-turbocharged V12 that puts out 563 horsepower and 575 pound-feet of torque. The massive amount of torque is available at 1,500 rpm, which makes the large Ghost able to hit 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. Max the Ghost out and you’ll hit 155 mph. The motor is connected to a ZF-built eight-speed automatic transmission that is amazingly smooth, quick, and perfect in mostly every way.

All-new Ghost’s suspension is as complex as it gets, with double wishbones in the front and a multi-link rear. The four-cornered air suspension with electronic variable damping uses sensors that compensate for ride variations every 2.5 milliseconds.

The Ghost is designed to make its debut with well-equipped trim level. The Standard features include 19-inch alloy wheels, an active air suspension, a sunroof, front and rear parking sensors, rain sensing wipers, power closing rear doors, a pair of umbrellas stored within the front doors, massaging front seats, adaptive cruise control, and a 16-speaker premium audio system.
