Modified Rolls-Royce Ghost

Following its premiere at the 2023 SEMA Show, British company Urban Automotive has announced that it has opened the order book for the modified Rolls-Royce Ghost.

The car carries over many of the design features of the previous model including a carbon fiber front bumper, two-piece carbon fiber front bumper cladding, integrated daytime running lights, carbon front bumper splitter, carbon rear bumper, diffuser and lip spoiler, as well as aluminum tailpipes. There is an Urban Icon label on the tailgate.

Under the hood is a 6.75L twin-turbo V12 engine with 563 hp (420 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. Customers will be able to choose a high-performance Milltek Sport exhaust system as well as 22 and 24-inch Vossen forged aluminum rims. Also, more than 40 individual components are available to customers, and Urban specializes in aftermarket products for brands such as Land Rover, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini, Audi, Volkswagen and Tesla.

Parts for the car will be hand-made at Urbano’s headquarters in Milton Keynes, and can also be used for the Phantom and Spectre. Price available on request.

Billionaire parked Rolls-Royce Ghost on the 44th floor

We know that people store their cars in different places, but one Chinese billionaire has put his Rolls-Royce Ghost in a really special place, on the 44th floor of a skyscraper.

The process of lifting the car was recorded and published on the Instagram profile Kurdistan.millionare.cars, and it took place in the Chinese city of Fujian. The car was lifted using a crane, and for this job a company was hired that first built a cage for the car and then lifted it onto the balcony using three extremely durable cables. Unbelievable! If the owner wants to drive the car, he will have to pay again to put the car on the ground. Expensive, but he can afford it.

This is not the first case of lifting a car to a high floor. In May, the Australian rich man parked the McLaren Senna GTR model in a penthouse, worth 39 million euros, on the 57th floor. He is aware that the car will probably remain permanently in the apartment, because removing it would be an almost impossible mission.

What this billionaire will do with his Rolls-Royce Ghost remains to be seen.

Spofec Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II with 685 HP

When the Rolls-Royce Phantom was unveiled in 2017, the British car manufacturer did not plan a sports car but a full-sized luxury limousine. However, the German tuner Novitec presented the Spofec Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II, equipped with a special equipment kit that raises the car’s performance to a higher level.

First and most important, the engine. The car is powered by a twin-turbo 6.75L V12 engine with 685 hp (504 kW) and 745 lb-ft (1,010 Nm) of torque. The increase in power is achieved thanks to a plug-and-play control module with injection and ignition maps, as well as a modified turbine pressure control. As a reminder, the standard Phantom has 563 hp (420 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5 seconds, which is 0.3 seconds faster than the standard model.

At first glance, the most attention-grabbing are the polished and brushed 24″ SPOFEC SP3 (Vossen) wheels wrapped in 295/30 R24 tires, while other carbon components give a sporty-elegant look. These include a new front fascia, a new spoiler that reduces the lift of the front axle, and a new one-piece panel with a subtle wing on the trunk lid.

The car is equipped with a modified adaptive air suspension that allows it to be lowered by an additional 40 mm compared to the standard model. When the car moves at a speed of more than 140 km/h, the suspension returns to its original level.
