2021 Ghost sedan comes with Aluminum space-frame architecture: Rolls-Royce

Rolls-Royce has driven the second-generation of its Ghost sedan, 11 years after the launch of the original model.

This time it comes with an updated design, an ultra-luxurious cabin with hi-tech features, and a mighty 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 engine. Ghost is expected to reach customers in 2021.

The 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost is based on an aluminium space-frame architecture that was seen on the Phantom and Cullinan and the aluminium body shell has been hand-welded at four corners simultaneously, eliminating unsightly seams. The addition of laser-welded aluminium doors also reduce weight, provide 40,000 Nm per degree of stiffness and let less outside noise in compared to steel items.

The sedan features a chrome-finished vertical slat grille, a massive air dam, laser headlamps with C-shaped DRLs, body-colour outer rear-view mirrors, iconic "suicide doors", and dual exhaust pipes.

It has a wheelbase of 3,295mm and an overall length of 5,546mm.

The 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost draws power from a 6.75-litre, twin-turbo V12 engine that generates 571hp of maximum power and 850Nm of peak torque. The car can sprint from 0-100km/h in 4.8 seconds and offers a top speed of 250km/h.

The 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost has a minimalist 4-seater cabin with an illuminated dashboard, a 1,300W sound system, a built-in air purifier, automatic climate control, extensive soundproofing, and adaptive cruise control.

The sedan also packs a large touchscreen infotainment system with support for the latest connectivity options.

For safety, it offers multiple airbags, auto-parking, a 360-degree camera arrangement, and a head-up display among other features.
