Overview
The 2013 Rolls Royce Ghost Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the fullsize sedan class. With 2 trims on offer, the Rolls Royce Ghost has a base MSRP of $256,650, with prices going all the way up to an MSRP of $296,000, competing directly with the Porsche Panamera Turbo S Sedan, Mercedes-Benz AMG S65 Sedan, and the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Sedan. All these cars are obviously cheaper yet more powerful than the Ghost. Only a 6.6L twin-turbocharged V12 engine is offered, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 563 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, the Ghost maintains a combined fuel economy of 15 MPG. Rolls Royce offers the Ghost in 48 stunning colors, with the Scala Red being a particular favorite of ours.
Buying Advice
The 2013 Rolls Royce Ghost Sedan is a super-luxurious sedan offered in two trims. Among them, we recommend opting for the more spacious, higher-end EWB trim which offers a longer overall length.
