Rolls-Royce Ghost Coupe Spied on Nurburgring
Luxury and power go hand-in-hand with the Rolls-Royce brand, but sporty handling and track time aren’t such typical partners.
Nevertheless, spy photos of the Rolls-Royce Ghost Coupe, rumored to be called he Corniche, is said the be the best-handling Rolls yet. A turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 engine could make it under the hood offering 600 hp sent to the rear wheels through a ZF eight-speed transmission. Its also said to have a 155-mph top speed along with a lighter chassis and lower-sitting suspension.
The pictures show three door handles, but that would be a departure from the brand’s affinity for suicide doors which seem like a more likely choice.
The car is expected to make its official debut in Geneva next March, although details about the latest luxo-barge are likely to surface before then.
