Rolls-Royce's "baby" Ghost is anything but, offering the same luxury treatments as its much bigger and more established older brother Phantom. The Ghost retains all of the extravagance you would expect from a car with the double-R badge, but at a more city-friendly size.With this shrunken size, Rolls-Royce considers the Ghost to be a daily-use vehicle, a luxury sedan that can be driven to the office and on errands every day. Note: that's driven, not being driven in, as most Phantom owners would expect. And despite being smaller, the Ghost still has all the modern amenities of a bespoke luxury sedan. The seemingly endless array of cabin amenities include reclining rear seats with individual DVD screens, automatically closing doors, a door-mounted umbrella holder, and every surface decked out in real wood, leather, aluminum, and chrome.Under the hood of the Ghost is an all-new 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V-12 engine with 536 horsepower, because Rolls-Royce owners would expect nothing less. Paired to a silky eight-speed automatic transmission, it is as smooth as its owners would expect, including those new to the brand. Rolls-Royce believes that many Ghost customers will be new to tbrand,and hopes to double its US sales.
