Overall Rating
Rolls-Royce Ghost:
The Rolls-Royce Ghost is a full-sized luxury car manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The "Ghost" nameplate, named in honour of the Silver Ghost, a car first produced in 1906, was announced in April 2009 at the Auto Shanghai show. The production model was officially unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Ghost Extended Wheelbase was introduced in 2011. During development, the Ghost was known as the "RR04". It was designed as a smaller, "more measured, more realistic car" than the Phantom, aiming for a lower price category for Rolls-Royce models....(Read more on Wikipedia)
II Overview:
Rolls-Royce Ghost (II). With 850 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. At around 2490 kg, it’s on the heavier side. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. Acceleration is excellent (0–100 km/h in 4.8 s). The top speed reaches 250 km/h. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Rolls-Royce Ghost II has not been officially tested by Euro NCAP. Ultra-luxury, low-volume vehicles are rarely subjected to these tests. However, Rolls-Royce vehicles are engineered to extremely high safety standards, incorporating robust structures and advanced active/passive safety systems.

Performance Verdict
The twin-turbo V12 delivers effortless, refined power, ensuring rapid acceleration (0-100 km/h in 4.8s) and serene cruising, perfectly suiting the Ghost's luxury ethos without ever feeling strained.
