We have reported about the 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost formerly. Now Rolls-Royce has announced official performance specifications for the highly anticipated 2010 Ghost, which will be unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show in September.
Under the hood, the 2010 Ghost gets a 6.6L turbocharged V12 engine, paired up with a ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic gearbox. The V12 engine produces 563 hp (420 kW) and 780 Nm (575lb-ft) of torque at a low 1500 rpm, which makes the car more powerful than the Phantom despite being positioned below it. Top speed will be limited to 155 mph, with a 0-60-mph time of 4.7 seconds (4.8 in North America, the company notes).
The Ghost features a Phantom-inspired styling in a smaller version. While the Phantom's dimensions stretch to around 5,834 mm, the Ghost will measure in at 5,399mm in length, 1,948mm across, stand 1,550mm in height, and 3295mm in wheelbase. Inside there will be generous seating for five adults.
Rolls-Royce has also confirmed that the car will make use of the very latest developments in chassis engineering, including a new four corner air suspension system matched to multi-link aluminum front and rear axle geometry. A new chassis management system will also be fitted and is designed to control the car’s anti-roll stabilization and the suspension stiffness to ensure the best possible comfort for occupants. In a result, the fully integrated system allows each of the Rolls Royce Ghost’s dynamic handling systems to work together in harmony, providing the optimum levels of refinement and comfort at all times.
“First and foremost Ghost is a Rolls-Royce. This means that despite its extraordinary performance figures it has been engineered for effortless composure and refined power delivery. This is illustrated by the significant levels of low down torque available which makes pulling away very smooth and for an exceptionally relaxed driving experience." According to Rolls-Royce's Director of Engineering, Helmut Riedl.
“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. Rolls Royce 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 Rolls Royce Ghost stable and flat, preventing it from wallowing or pitching in the corners or imposing undesirable forces on those inside.”
As we have previously reported, the Rolls-Royce Ghost will almost double production at the company’s factory in Goodwood in the UK. Till now, more than 10,000 people have already expressed interest in the new model. As for the price, Rolls-Royce also confirmed UK and European sales will begin in late 2009 with pricing from £165,000 and €213,000 respectively (excluding taxes and delivery charges). U.S. and Asia Pacific region sales will begin sometime during the second quarter of 2010, with pricing in North America at US$245,000 and Rest of World US$250,000.Source URL: https://carrevieeeew.blogspot.com/2009/07/2010-rolls-royce-ghost-official-details.html
