Rolls-Royce Ghost V-Specification gets Wraith power

An official dealer in Germany has just listed this car, a Rolls-Royce Ghost V-Specification, for sale. That’s a rather peculiar name choice for a luxury coachbuilder, but hey, who are we to judge?

Among the special bits that make it a V-Spec is an uprated engine, with the 6.6 litre twin-turbo V12 now making 601 hp – up from the standard Ghost’s 563 hp and closer to the Wraith coupe’s 624 hp. Sportscar-matching performance is a given, with even the standard limo needing less than five seconds to cover the 100 km/h sprint.

There have been a few special Ghosts before, but this is the only one to offer more speed. The five-spoke wheels are the same lightweight 21-inch items found on the sportier Rolls-Royce Wraith, and other V-Specification extras include a rear armrest with special black embroidery, unique treadplates, monitor lid and a bespoke clock.

Fancy a quicker Ghost or a roomier Wraith, anyone? Here’s your answer.

    Assuming that this car cost RM3M each, and used 1 year old K5 trading in for RM30k each, I can get a 100 units of used K5 at RM3M, and sell it to Sri Lankans at RM60K each
