As we already reported earlier, Rolls Royce Motor Cars has recently revealed the details on its upcoming luxury car Ghost. The company might unveil it at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show in September 09. The company has also indicated that Ghost will be launched in India later this year which will get 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. Its deliveries in the UK and Europe will begin late in 2009 with pricing from £165,000 excluding taxes and delivery charges. Customer deliveries in other markets including the USA and Asia Pacific region will begin from the second quarter 2010. A detailed technical specification will be released later in the year.

Tom Purves, chief executive officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, was quoted as saying in its official release, “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.”

According to the press release flashing on its official website, Rolls-Royce has already confirmed that the Ghost will ride on an intelligent four corner air suspension system using multi link aluminium 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. The vehicle acoustics also play a vital role in creating the authentic Rolls-Royce environment. Naturally engine, exhaust and even tyre noise have been engineered to be inaudible as far as possible, both internally and externally.

Rolls-Royce Director of Engineering, Helmut Riedl said in its press release, “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.”

Once launched in India, it will help the company in accomplishing its sales target of 70 cars by 2013. It has also been learnt that the BMW subsidiary is rolling out a slew of new models (including Ghost) at its facility in Goodwood, England, and plans launch it in India in the next few years. Moreover, its RR4, a smaller luxury saloon than Phantom, will hit the Indian roads by 2010. Positioned below the Phantom range the new car is expected to be priced at around US$ 280,000 in the US. The other models in the family include the Phantom’s extended wheel-base version, besides the Phantom Drophead. The Rolls-Royce Ghost will be built on its own dedicated production line at Goodwood but will share paint, wood and leather workshops with the Phantom series of cars.
