The Ghost will be motivated by a “unique to Rolls-Royce” turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 that packs 500 horsepower. In terms of power and performance, the 500-horse V12 puts it “upstairs” of the 453-horsepower 6.0-liter V12 Phantom, yet it leaves Ghost conspicuously “downstairs” of a prime competitor, the 553-horsepower 6.0-liter W12 Bentley Continental Flying Spur. In addition, the Phantom has been roundly criticized for its prodigious fuel thirst, and Bentley has announced plans to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for all its cars, which put pressure on Rolls to follow suit. According to the carmaker, this engine, combined with a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, boasts better fuel and CO2 efficiency than the “already class-leading Phantom series of cars.”
