. It has a sophisticated style, and the wide track needed to accommodate the P255/40R21 front and P295/35R21 rear tires. This not only gives it a bold, purposeful stance, it delivers tenacious driving characteristics.
The Grecale Trofeo inherits a derivative of the Nettuno 3.0L twin-turbo V6 from the MC20; it makes 523 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque. This is enough to warp the riders to 100 km/h from zero in just 3.8 seconds. The bonus is at just about any speed, breathing on the gas pedal produces an immediate response and a wonderful growl from the tailpipes.
The other half the story is found in the sumptuous leather wrapping everything from the dash to the door caps; and the real wood accents and beautifully-crafted wing-back front seats. It’s also bristling with the latest technology, including two 12.3-inch screens and a third 8.8-incher.
Throw in the more engaging drive experience that comes with the Black Badge treatment; the smooth-as-butter 6.75-litre V12 engine producing 591 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque; a headliner that shimmers like the starlit night sky; and an interior customizable down to the finest detail, and it’s easy to see why driving a Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost is an exceptionally special experience.
