New Rolls-Royce is called "Ghost"

The new model of Rolls-Royce that we were able to see in March in Geneva has finally got an official name. The little Rolls was always known as the Silver Ghost and 200EX, as of today it is called 'Rolls-Royce Ghost'.

At Rolls-Royce they must have thought nice, short and simple, it hasn't been named Silver Ghost but just Ghost. The small Rolls is actually not that small if you see it without the Phantom anywhere near, the Ghost is 5.4 meters long. That is a lot longer than the BMW 7-Series or the Mercedes S-Class but it is still half a meter shorter than the normal Phantom. Under the hood of the Ghost we find a V12 that comes from the mother company BMW, the V12 got some changes and thanks to the twin turbo it will have more than 500 bhp. Of course you don't have to change gears yourself in this limo, the shifting is done by an automatic transmission with eight gears. Hessing has already put down a couple orders for the Rolls-Royce Ghost, but it is still unknown when Hessing will start to delivering this exotic.
