The two-door version of the Ghost could possibly catapult the Rolls Royce name, and quite possibly the car’s driver, into a new dimension with the performance anticipated from the next generation engine.
Whilst Rolls Royce has most certainly been a leader amongst luxury and premium cars for the best part of a century, cars carrying the Spirit of Ecstasy on their bonnet were never those driven for their top-line speed. The refined elegance, supreme comfort, and exquisite detailing of interior and exterior finishes were advantages that a Rolls Royce car held over all others. Now, it appears, such a car may even expand its territorial hold and try to take on those leading in the horsepower stakes.
The upcoming Coupé wearing the Ghost characteristics could very well break the mould of the luxury grand touring car. Known historically for their ‘adequate’ or even just ‘more than adequate’ power levels, it seems as though a revolution could be coming soon.
The new Coupé will be equipped with the same 6.6 litre twin-turbo V12 engine as the Ghost saloon, but could look at a horsepower balance of closer to 600 hp than the existing 531 hp. Also of interest is that we may see this sports model reviving the legendary Corniche name.
With such benchmark levels of power, we can expect lightning speed, making this the fastest Rolls Royce ever, of all the Rolls Royce vehicles that travel on the ground at least. To compare with a true British supercar, one only has to look to the McLaren MP4-12C which only recently enjoyed a leap to 616 hp from its existing 592 hp. Whilst a Coupé, the two-door Ghost will still be a considerably heavy car than those typically categorised as supercars. None of the Rolls Royce luxury will be compromised. An eight-speed automatic gearbox will complement the motor in its pursuit of smooth and refined driving.
For those of you for whom a Rolls Royce is more about the journey, as opposed to the destination, the Signature Car Hire Rolls Royce Ghost is a highly suitable steed. A classic Rolls Royce by any exacting standards, the purist will love this car. Proportions, principles and purpose are the hallmarks of the Ghost 2011 model.
The powerful V12 engine is supported by a cast of technologically-advanced features to ensure that the drive captures its traditional essence and yet does so with the most up-to-date efficiency. Active cruise control, heads-up driving display, night-vision feature and speed-sensitive power-assistance for steering allow a seamless driving experience to unfold before you.
In Jubilee Silver with 19 inch wheels, the exterior of the car is beautifully presented. For your continued pleasure as you step inside the car however, the Seashell leather and wood veneers envelop you in first-class luxury that only a Rolls Royce can deliver.
