2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost Sedan

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

The 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost is a RWD full-size luxury sedan powered by a direct injected V12 engine that produces 563 hp and 575 lb-ft of torque. Pairing the V12 engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission enables the Ghost to achieve an EPA estimated 13 mpg city and 20 mpg highway, for a combined 15 mpg. Features and options include suicide doors, full-grain leather, wood veneer finishing, 20-inch alloy wheels, an infrared camera that grants the driver night vision, a head up display, navigation system, active cruise control, and lane departure warning. The Ghost is backed by a 4-year/unlimited mile warranty.

Benefits of Driving a 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost Sedan

With a price beginning at around $250,000, the Rolls-Royce Ghost competes with the likes of the Bentley Continental Flying Spur and the Aston Martin Rapide. While the more expensive Phantom is offered in a full family of body styles, including a Coupe and 'Drophead Coupe' convertible, the Ghost is only offered as a sedan. The Ghost is one of the longest cars on the market, yet it can feel surprisingly nimble for such a large car; it doesn't feel much heavier than the BMW 7-Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class in the corners, but its true heft translates to excellent road-holding on the highway. Exclusivity versus those more 'ordinary' luxury sedans is of course one of the biggest selling points--as is the 'bespoke' process of specifying and ordering your own custom-tailored interior, trims, and special features.

What's new for 2011?

The Rolls-Royce Ghost has changed very little going into 2011. The Ghost gets updated audio systems and Bluetooth connectivity functions, while the model line now gets the same 'bespoke' order and customization system afforded to Rolls-Royce Phantom buyers.

Model Review

The Rolls-Royce Ghost is powered by a mammoth 6.6L twin-turbo V12, making 563 horsepower. It's hooked to an 8-speed automatic transmission, with a column-style shift lever. The engine makes its peak 575 pound-feet of torque at just 1,500 rpm, so the Ghost 'wafts' up to speed in classic English luxury-car fashion, albeit with even less noise in the cabin than in past Rolls-Royce models. Zero to 60 mph acceleration takes just 4.7 seconds, while the top speed is an electronically limited 155 mph.

Original Warranty  Original Warranty An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment. The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including: Basic Warranty: Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters. Drivetrain Warranty: This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be. Roadside Assistance: The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car. Corrosion Warranty: This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal. Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.	Miles	Months
