- From a
carmaker that not long ago would not deign to discuss such greasy
matters as engine output comes the new Ghost V-Specification, a model
that neatly fills the performance gap between the very swift standard
Ghost and the downright blistering Wraith coupe.
The package includes a host of aesthetic enhancements and a horsepower
boost to the car’s 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 engine. Output jumps from
563 to 593hp. That is still shy of the mighty Wraith’s 624hp, but
sufficient to move this top-spec Ghost from zero to 60mph in 4.7 seconds
– a tenth quicker than the standard car.
The Ghost V-Specification – in standard- and extended-wheelbase
versions – is available for customer commission through June. Pricing
will be announced at a later date. (Photo: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars)
