Some of the people who can afford to buy a
Rolls-Royce can also afford even more expensive toys, like a private jet.
Those can be had for anywhere between US$ 1 million
(really old models) or even US$ 100+ million if you want to custom fit an Airbus
or Boeing. Now, Rolls-Royce wants to bring those two worlds closer and provide
a similar experience on the road as when you’re flying through the clouds.
The Rolls-Royce Ghost is already exceptional at
making you feel as if the car is floating around thanks to its air suspension
setup. So if you’ve got that covered, the only thing left to do is work on the
car’s aesthetics.
With that in mind, meet the extended wheelbase
Rolls-Royce Ghost Inspired by Private Jet, which is on display at the
automaker’s Abu Dhabi dealership. It wears a two-tone Arctic White and Midnight
Sapphire upper, with a Private Jet Motif coachline and a mainly Arctic White
and Fleet Blue cabin. Completing the look are the two-tone 21-inch 10-spoke
part polished forged alloys.
The Rolls-Royce Ghost is powered by a 6.6-liter twin
turbo V12 producing 571 PS and 780 Nm of torque. Since this is an
extended wheelbase (EWB) model, it needs 5.1 seconds to get from zero to 100
km/h, while the regular Ghost which can complete the sprint in 4.9
seconds. But we guess a couple of tenths of a second are insignificant in the
rarefied air occupied by the likes of this Rolls special edition.
