Rolls-Royce Ghost

The second generation Ghost is based on a proprietary aluminum space frame, also used in the Phantom and Cullinan. The superstructure for the air suspension is the so-called Planar system – another damper is installed in front above the upper arm. It works in tandem with two other systems: Flagbearer (cameras read the topography of the road surface, shock absorbers are adjusted accordingly) and Satellite Aided Transmission (GPS data is taken into account to calculate optimal transmission operation in terms of comfort). In addition, the sedan received a rear steering axle.

To distribute the weight between the axles in a 50:50 ratio, the engine was moved completely inside the wheelbase. Ghost uses a petrol V12 with twin turbochargers, its displacement is 6.75 liters, output is 571 hp. With. and 850 Nm (available from 1600 rpm). It is paired with an eight-speed ZF hydromechanics, and traction – as opposed to the previous generation – is distributed to all four wheels. All this allows you to accelerate a car with a curb weight of 2.5 tons to the first 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.
