Rolls-Royce 200EX

Rolls-Royce has released technical details about the upcoming Ghost model which will be unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. It will be powered by a new 6.6 liter turbocharged V12 engine capable of 563 hp and coupled with a 8-speed automatic gearbox.
Rolls-Royce has confirmed the performance figures for the Ghost, the new model which will be unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show in September.

The car - previously known as Project RR4 - is based on the Rolls-Royce 200EX design study presented at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.

The Ghost will be powered by a brand new 6.6 litre turbo charged V12 engine unique to Rolls-Royce.

This engine will produce 563 bhp, delivering a 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds and a governed top speed of 155 mph.
he engine is combined with an 8-speed automatic ZF gearbox.

Rolls-Royce Director of Engineering, Helmut Riedl said, “First and foremost Ghost is a Rolls-Royce. This means that despite its extraordinary performance figures it has been engineered for effortless composure and refined power delivery.

"This is illustrated by the significant levels of low down torque available which makes pulling away very smooth and for an exceptionally relaxed driving experience.”

Riedl continues, “[...] Ghost is about fingertip control while still enjoying a dynamic connection with the road.

"Equally passengers need to be cosseted from the physical sensations of acceleration, braking and cornering. Our chassis set up keeps Ghost stable and flat, preventing it from wallowing or pitching in the corners or imposing undesirable forces on those inside.”

Rolls-Royce has already confirmed that the Ghost will ride on an intelligent four corner air suspension system using multi link aluminium front and rear axles.

The engine, exhaust and even tyre noise have been engineered to be inaudible as far as possible, both internally and externally.

Customer deliveries of Ghost in Europe will begin late in 2009 with pricing from £165,000 excluding taxes and delivery charges.

Customer deliveries in other markets including the USA and Asia Pacific region will begin from the second quarter 2010.

A full technical specification will be released later in the year.

Mini Cooper

The MINI Cooper S with John Cooper Works (JCW) GP Kit is the fastest, most powerful production MINI ever. It can reach 100 km/h (62mph) in under 6.5 seconds and achieve a top speed of 146mph.

The GP has a power output of 218hp, with a specific power of 136hp per litre, and a maximum torque of 245Nm.

In order to reduce the total mass, the MINI GP weighs approximately 40 kg less than a standard MINI Cooper S. This has been achieved by modifications to the chassis and engineering tweaks. The longitudinal control arms on the rear axle are now made of aluminium and the sound-deadening material has been taken out.
The entire rear seat bench has been removed. In its place is a very neat flat loading area that can be folded up in a Z-arrangement for easy access to two additional storage boxes.

Standard equipment includes: limited slip differential, Dynamic Stability Control, Recaro sports seats in Panther Black leather, single CD, air-conditioning and a multi-function steering wheel.

The car also features JCW sports brakes, JCW sports suspension and exclusive low-profile tyres and 18-inch light-alloy rims.

The special edition will only be available in exclusive metallic paintwork called Thunder Blue combined with a Pure Silver roof and Chili Red door mirrors.


A new aerodynamics package has been added that significantly improves the car’s drag coefficient and downforce on both front and rear axles, enhancing the driving experience at high speeds.

New highlights are the front and rear air dams, the extra low side-sills, and the underfloor cover, as well as a wing-shaped rear spoiler.

This special edition Mini will be built in 2,000 units starting from July 2006. The UK guide price is £22,000 which includes £10,000 worth of additional equipment if specified on a standard MINI Cooper
