2011 Rolls Royce Ghost Mansory White Ghost Limited

Vehicle customizer Kourosh Mansory has decided to build a limited run of three cars based off the Rolls-Royce Ghost. Subtle modifications designed to increase the car's elegance and add a touch of sportiness were the tuner’s top priorities. The latter is achieved by altering the car’s engine electronics, which results in an impressive increase in overall engine performance.

Sophisticated elegance characterizes the White Ghost. As the name implies, the car is wrapped in a subtle white hue. The new front end features additional LED daytime running lights and vertical air outlets on the sides, directly beneath the stock cooling grills, are added for eye appeal. Mansory went to great lengths bring its new visual highlights into harmony from the side skirts, the side mirrors, the rear spoiler, and the rear apron with implied diffuser and dual sport-exhaust-system.

The sportiness implied by the new exterior stays true to what is under the Rolls-Royce Ghost’s long hood. The optimized engine electronics as well as the dual sports exhaust system push the Rolls-Royce's performance to 629 hp at 5,700 rpm. The engineers in the Bavarian city of Brand enhanced the maximum torque to a stout 634 lbs.-ft. of torque. This enables the engine to accelerate the 5,203-pound vehicle from zero-to-62 mph in only 4.5 seconds and therewith saves 0.4 seconds in comparison to the stock car. Thanks to the decommissioned speed governor, acceleration is no longer limited to 155, but rather to 180 mph.

The car’s wheel dimensions have also grown significantly. Mansory created a new design especially for the White Ghost Limited. The massive wheels with a diamond-polished surface measure an impressive 22 inches. The wheels at the front axle are equipped with 265/35 Dunlop SP SportMaxx high-performance tires, while the rear axle features 10.5 inch wheels with a tire size of 295/30.

In cohesion with the exquisite exterior upgrades, the interior is an oasis of luxury. Large parts of the interior are covered in high-grade leather with a cross-stitched pattern and enhanced by a headliner and dash board made of Alcantara. The sports steering wheel together with the light-colored bamboo inserts creates an unsurpassed exclusive atmosphere. Illumination for the entry ways and new LED modules for the seats, door panels, and dash board creates an ambient lighting effect that provides pleasant illumination throughout the entire interior.

The cost for the White Ghost Limited upgrade starts at 119,800 Euro (approximately $152,500) plus a Rolls-Royce Ghost and will be limited to a three-car run
