Rolls-Royce previews one-off performance-focused Ghost

January 6, 2014
Rolls-Royce’s German arm has published preliminary details about a performance-focused variant of the Ghost dubbed V-Spec.

The most notable modification is found by popping the Ghost’s long hood. The sedan’s direct-injected, twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 engine has been massaged to churn out 601 horsepower, an increase of about 30 ponies compared to the regular-production model. Linked to an eight-speed automatic transmission, the twelve-cylinder engine propels the Ghost V-Spec from zero to 60 mph in less than 4.7 seconds while returning 17 mpg in a mixed European cycle.

The bulk of the aesthetic upgrades are found inside the car, where the smallest member of the Rolls family gains a panoramic sunroof, massaging seats upholstered in silver leather with contrasting black stitching, a bespoke clock and V-Spec running boards. Piano black trim on the dashboard and the door panels, a 360-degree camera and a V-Spec logo proudly embroidered into the rear armrest round out the major upgrades in the cabin.

Outside, the Ghost V-Spec retains a low-key appearance and the only major upgrades are two chromed exhaust tips and 21-inch five-spoke alloy wheels lifted straight from the Wraith parts bin. The discreet look is taken a step further by a Sapphire Black paint job.
