The Ghost

EuroMotorcars Rolls-Royce is now taking orders for the all new Rolls-Royce Ghost, which will be unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show in September. Rolls-Royce Corporate has announced that the base price for this exciting new vehicle is $245,000, which exceeds our expectations! Rolls-Royce will begin production in September of this year. The Ghost will be available for viewing at the St. Michaels Concourse de Elegance, September 25 – 27, or here in our Bethesda showroom, September 28 – 29.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Chief Executive Officer, Tom Purves, said, “Ghost is not about a single superlative but rather a careful blend of attributes. A Rolls-Royce should carry its power with grace, agility and refinement and this is never achieved by a focus on outright performance. Mastery comes in creating a balance and having driven the Ghost again recently I can say confidently that our engineering team has achieved this in fine style”.

The Ghost will be powered by a brand new 6.6 litre turbo charged V12 engine unique to Rolls-Royce. This engine will produce 563 bhp, delivering a 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds and a governed top speed of 155 mph. The engine is combined with an 8-speed automatic ZF gearbox. It will ride on an intelligent four corner air suspension system using multi link aluminum front and rear axles. The fully integrated system allows each of the Ghost’s dynamic handling systems to work together in harmony, providing the optimum levels of refinement and comfort at all times.

Rolls-Royce Director of Engineering, Helmut Riedl said, “Rolls-Royce power is entirely different to anything else in the automotive world. It is delivered free from stress and exertion but at the same time must engage the driver. Ghost is about fingertip control while still enjoying a dynamic connection with the road. Equally passengers need to be cosseted from the physical sensations of acceleration, braking and cornering. Our chassis set up keeps Ghost stable and flat, preventing it from wallowing or pitching in the corners or imposing undesirable forces on those inside.”
