Rolls-Royce Ghost: Full Review

New Rolls-Royce Ghost became the most powerful and fast car in the history of the company: 563 horsepowers, 4.9 seconds to hundred! The car is stuffed by electronics, including the trekshn-control and infra-red system of detection of pedestrians. At all it is conservative enough as a whole and traditionally comfortable.

Predictably, serial Rolls-Royce Ghost practically does not differ from the conceptual version 200EX, shown this spring. Contrast silvery colouring of a cowl and a windshield framework is an option – it is possible to order and the monophonic car. On a choice 12 colours are offered, we will list their names for fans: Adriatic Blue, Claret, Darkest Tungsten, Dark Indigo, Diamond Black, English White, Ensign Red, Jubilee Silver, Lunar Blue, Metropolitan Blue, New Sable, Sea Green. Cars in the same shop where and Phantom, on painting and polishing of one Ghost leaves seven days are painted.









The system without key access already meets and on accessible models, but is unusual to conservative mark: Ghost opens itself when the owner with a charm approaches on distance of 1.5 metres (option). Inside – traditional style Rolls-Royce: simple, deliberately "craft" forms, a skin, the massive wooden panels, the chromeplated details, vent holes of type "eyeball". The interior by lamps with matte plafonds is highlighted. The screen on a front panel is hidden under a wooden cover, and additional functions can be steered or the rotary controller with additional buttons which has settled down on the central extension housing, or a voice.









The form of rear seats allows to turn slightly to the interlocutor who is sitting next. By the way, it is possible to choose both an integral sofa, and individual armchairs with massage, heating up and air-conditioning. As an option folding little tables for a lunch are offered a minibar with illumination, a compartment for champagne glasses. In backs of front armchairs it is possible to establish 9-inch monitors, and in a small box – a changer on 6 disks. The interesting moment - in front doors umbrellas with a teflon covering hide. Ghost is stuffed by various auxiliary electronic systems, however developers pay attention: they were projected so that not to disturb to the driver and to confuse it, and to do steering easier and pleasant. The list habitual enough for the prestigious modern car also engages the trekshn-control, stabilisation system, etc.

Ghost is equipped by system of night vision, the infra-red radiator allows to find out pedestrians on distance to 300 metres and to display them on the monitor. The distance to object, its speed and a direction is defined, by results of the analysis of the information the car gives out the prevention to the driver. Also in the list of equipment Head-Up the display (on a windshield the information is displayed necessary for the driver), "the alarm clock", warning vibration about traverse of a dividing strip, adaptive rotary headlights, active cruise-control with function Stop&Go. Some chambers in a lobby and a car rear help to park.







To combine traditional comfort and high dynamics the pneumatic suspender with absorbers steered electronics allows. As developers inform, it is rather sensitive, and is capable to correct the characteristics, for example, in case the passenger sits only on the one hand. The road gleam is regulated within 25 millimetres. Engine V12 in volume of 6.6 litres with two turbines develops capacity of 563 h.p. that allows the car to be dispersed to 100 km/h for 4.9 seconds, the maximum speed is limited 250 km/h. A gear box 8-step automatic, manufactures ZF. Average fuel consumption makes 13.6 litres on 100 kilometres.

In Great Britain Rolls-Royce Ghost will be on sale for 165000 pounds, in Europe the price will make 213000 euros, in the USA 245000 dollars.
