The Rolls Royce Ghost is powered by an impressive 6.6L twin-turbo V12 that makes 563 horsepower. It's mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and features a column-style shift lever.The engine makes its peak 575 pound-feet of torque at just 1,500 rpm, so the Ghost 'wafts' up to speed in classic English luxury-car fashion, albeit with even less noise in the cabin than in past Rolls-Royce models. Zero-to-60 mph acceleration takes just 4.7 seconds, while the top speed is an electronically limited 155 mph.The Ghost follows Rolls Royce styling tradition on the outside, for the most part, with a long hood, short front overhand and an upright windshield.
The modern Ghost has just a little more modern panache, especially on the inside.The hood, grille and windshield surround can be done in a polished satin finish if desired.Teflon-coated umbrellas are integrated into the front doors, while the rear-hinged rear doors open up to 83 degrees and can be closed by just touching a button.A panoramic sunroof lets a lot of light in from overhead as well, while quad-zone climate control makes sure that everyone is comfortable.
