Rolls Royce Ghost EWB features modified B pillars and longer rear doors. If it is anything like the Phantom EWB, the Rolls Royce Ghost EWB will have a 250mm (9.8") stretch which will make the car 5649mm (222.4") long with a 3545mm (139.6") wheelbase. The Rolls Royce Ghost EWB will be a tad shorter than the standard Phantom which measures 5840mm (229.9") long and rides on a 3570mm (140.6") wheelbase. This will undoubtedly put this car between a "rock and a hard place". Sensibility aside, power will be provided by a turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 engine with 563 bhp (420 kW / 570 PS) and 780 Nm (575 lb-ft) of torque. It will be connected to an 8 speed ZF automatic transmission, which will likely enable the Ghost to accelerate from 0-60 mph in approximately five seconds before hitting a limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
Only 2 years after the launch of the Rolls-Royce Phantom and its rapid establishment as the worldwide, market-leading, super-luxury saloon, a second model will be launched at the Geneva motor show on March 1th 2005. The new Phantom with an extended wheelbase offers additional interior space for the rear occupants while maintaining the elegant exterior looks of the standard length Phantom and its first class driving performance.
The new extended Phantom is entirely hand crafted in-house - designed, engineered and hand built by Rolls Royce Motor Cars in the same way as the standard length motor car.
An extended wheelbase motor car had been planned from the early days of the Rolls Royce Phantom project. An aluminium space frame chassis was chosen for the Phantom precisely because it lends itself to structural adaptation with relative ease.
