Rolls-Royce has finally officially announced what her new model will be called. The Silver Ghost rumors did the rounds for ages, but it was not entirely true. Rolls-Royce calls its new model Ghost.
It remains a special event when a manufacturer like Rolls-Royce presents a new model. And similarly with the Ghost. Initially, Rolls-Royce model made under the project name RR4 through life. In presenting the concept in Geneva and now the 200EX Rolls-Royce has finally announced that the car will be called Ghost.
Goodwood
That name does not appear out of thin air. Between 1906 and 1925 were even Rolls-Royce produced under the name Ghost. From the fourth quarter of 2009, that name will be reactivated again. From that time, Rolls-Royce at its plant in southern England, namely Goodwood start production. A half years at Goodwood is underway to expand the factory so the Ghost gets its own production. The paint and the leather and wood, however places are simply shared with the Phantom series.
V12 turbo engine
Slowly but surely has a lot Rolls-Royce Ghost unveiled the details. The 200EX concept is clearly ready for production and only minimal details will differ from the production model. The appearance is therefore already known. What we do know is that Rolls-Royce a completely new 6.6 liter V12 turbo engine in the front hangs below. The engine develops an output of more than 500 horsepower and brings its power through a ZF 8-speed transmission on the rear wheels. Its length of 5.39 m, width 1.94 m and height 1.55 m is impressive. And those who are not convinced that it will hit the train, because the wheelbase measures 3.29 m.
