A Luxurious Rocket: The 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost



Rolls-Royce has always been known for all its luxurious line of vehicles which have blown our minds with its incredible high class models, and not so much for high performance capabilities. As you all know, my blogs are mainly about sport cars with a lot of performance, but after checking out the luxury category from Autoblog.com, I was extremely interested and bewildered after I read the article “Rolls-Royce give up the Ghost…performance numbers” by Jonathon Ramsey. It turns out that the 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost is an incredible performance machine camouflaged under all that luxurious body that can outrun many high performance cars out there.



This 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost comes with a whopping 6.6 liter, twin turbo V12 engine, which will have you back against the seat every time you press that pedal as if you were in a space rocket. The new 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost has an input of 563 horsepower and 563 pounds of torque in that beastly twelve cylinder twin turbo engine, which must feel as if you are driving a Ferrari or a Lamborghini instead of one of the most, if not, the most luxurious car in the world. Also, the Ghost has a top speed of 155mph, which is electronically governed.




It is almost unreal to see such a luxurious sedan having so much high performance power while providing a high class smooth ride. As Rolls-Royce Director of Engineering Helmut Riedl says, “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”. Driving this sweet high performance and luxurious ride would a thrilling experience for many of us.




This incredible luxury and high performance Rolls-Royce will be available for sale later on this year and begging of 2010 for not less than $271,000. Even though this is a one and only luxury high performance ride from Rolls-Royce, I find the price a little bit outrageous, but I guess Rolls-Royce’s wealthy customers will not mind paying the high bills for this incredible beast and maybe I will have to test drive this new baby to change my mind about the price.

That car is amazing. Easily the finest luxury sedan in the world. However, I agree with your acessment that the price of $271,000 is a little ridiculous. I personally would never pay that much for anything that is not a sports car.

I had heard of a Rolls Royce Phantom but not a Ghost. The car is real impressive though. In regards to the price, I think that once your in the tax bracket to afford a car like this, some people like it being this expensive because it puts it that much further out of reach for those who can't afford it. This car is extremeley luxurious. At this point we can only hope to own one.
