China is a market where long wheelbase models sell well, so in order to address customer ‘needs’, luxury car maker Rolls-Royce is introducing the Extended Wheelbase version of the Ghost. This elongated model has premiered at the Auto Shanghai Motor Show today and as you can easily deduct, this is a model in which to be chauffeured, considering that wheel compared to the regular model, this version is 170 mm longer.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase will be powered by the same 6.6-litre twin turbo V12 engine found in the shorter version, so this means its output levels are 562 HP and 780 Nm of torque @ 1,500 rpm. Accelerating from 0 to 100 Km/h in the Ghost Extended Wheelbase takes 5.0 seconds, with power being sent to the wheels by an 8-speed ZF transmission.
