In
early January 2014, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars announced the launch of Ghost
V-Specification---a limited series of Ghost and Ghost Extended Wheelbase motor
cars that will be available for customers to commission from January to June
2014. Now customers in India too can commission this car.
The
V-Specification models will be priced Rs 30 Lakh more than a standard Ghost
model. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars’ General Manager for Emerging Markets, Herfried
Hasenoehrl, said: “Ghost and Ghost Extended Wheelbase have been the most
successful models in India for Rolls-Royce to date. Ghost has been feted by the
new maharajas of business, celebrities and other highly successful
individuals.”
“This
limited series celebrates one of Ghost’s defining characteristics; the exquisite
6.6 litre Rolls-Royce V12 engine,” said Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive,
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “Since its introduction in 2009, an extraordinary
marriage of assured presence and remarkable driving dynamics has endeared Ghost
to a new generation of highly discerning businessmen and women, ensuring the
car’s position as the statement of choice for a growing band of successful
entrepreneurs around the world.”
At
the heart of the Ghost’s driving experience is its hallmark V12 engine.
Acceleration is delivered with a characteristic immediacy and smoothness,
propelling occupants from 0 to 100km/h in just 4.9 seconds with 80pc of power
available from idle. This unique powertrain is celebrated with a 30bhp power increase on all Ghost V-Specification
motor cars.
Elegantly
applied design touches hint at Ghost V-Specification’s inherent dynamism.
V-Specification motif coach lines finish the exterior paint-scheme whilst
customers can either choose from five specially selected exterior colours, or
from Rolls-Royce’s 44,000 hue palette. Optional visible chrome exhausts and 21”
part-polished wheels add further expression to the car’s dynamic promise.
The
V-Specification motif is echoed around the car’s handcrafted interior through
engraving to the treadplates, embroidery to the rear armrest and hand-applied
steel inlays to the front multimedia screen lid. The interior is completed with
an exclusively designed clock with a black crown surrounding the face.
