The Rolls Royce Ghost
The new Rolls Royce car named the Ghost has a hidden revelation other than the first perception you receive when seeing the auto. The inner spirit of the car is revealed once you drive it. First is a reference to how the slender steering wheel will make you a less aggressive driver. “The seats are like a pillow, the view is regal” as stated by Top Gear editor Tom Ford. This suggests the ride of luxury. The engine is comparative to the Phantom model. This all forms a car that is supposed to be a smaller sportier model. Of course, looking at it you would find it hard to tell that, as it is only 18 inches smaller than the huge Phantom. At a slow speed you get a smooth ride as compared to a big limousine. It will manage 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds and above 80 the car springs into life and roars down the road like a sports car should, with a limiter installed however, that will only allow the auto to 155mph. The handling through the curves is surprisingly agile for the size of the car. The interior is of course loaded with multifunctional night and side view cameras and SATNAV.
The article also includes the reference of the name “Ghost” to a Castle in England that was visited in the auto. The castle that has had many persons killed inside creating the rumor of it being haunted by the ghosts of those deceased. The subtle undertone of the story tells of the luxury car richness as in a castle and the name the “Ghost”, as is prevalent in the older English castles, is a sign of prominence and wealth.
