Brabus presented their take on the Rolls-Royce Ghost, joining the elite of tuners who get their hands on luxurious models bearing the Spirit of Ecstasy. The Brabus 700 is based on the extended wheelbase variant of the Ghost, bringing a series of visual and mechanical modifications for those who want to stand out from the crowd in a more emphatic manner. Starting with the exterior, Rolls-Royce buyers are usually fond of classy and understated looks so Brabus didn’t go as far with the bodykit as other tuners like Mansory.
The front splitter, intake trim, grille
frame, lip spoiler and rear diffuser are made of carbon fiber, while the
Rolls-Royce badges have been replaced by Brabus emblems. At the back we also
find the carbon quad tailpipes of the stainless steel exhaust system with
active valves Finally, all the shiny bits got a Shadow Chrome finish for a
distinctive look, while a set of discreet LED DRLs have been added on the front
bumper.
The most striking visual update is the 22-inch
Brabus Monoblock M “Platinum Edition” forged wheels – again finished in Shadow
Chrome – with a design that somehow resembles the disc wheels of the facelifted
Phantom although it’s definitely sportier. Brabus didn’t mess up with the
sophisticated Planar Suspension System of the Ghost, so the Magic Carpet Ride
is retained.
More importantly, the twin-turbo V12
engine has received a power bump and is now producing hp 690 hp and 950 Nm of torque making it more powerful than the Black Badge.
Power is transmitted to all four wheels through the eight-speed automatic
transmission allowing a 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds.
While the Ghost already has an
ultra-luxurious hand-crafted interior, Brabus is offering extra bits of bling
to make it stand out more. The Brabus Masterpiece interior includes a bespoke
porcelain-colored leather upholstery with square pattern quilting and
contrasting black piping. Finally, there is plenty of carbon fiber trim on the
dashboard, center console, illuminated door sills and rear armrest. Brabus
didn’t reveal pricing for their tuning package but we guess that Ghost owners
will be able to afford it.
