Upcoming Ghost Coupe to be the fastest Rolls Royce ever

The ultimate luxury on wheels is about to get a whole lot faster now that Rolls Royce is busy testing a high performance Coupe based on their already-fast luxury sedan, the Ghost. Powered by a 530PS, 6.6-litre V12 engine, the Ghost is no slouch by any measure however Rolls Royce seems to think otherwise. 

Which is why for the Ghost Coupe, the company is said to have up rated the power figure to about 610PS. The torque has also been increased by a significant amount. The updated engine is linked to a ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox which sends power to the rear wheels. Engine upgrades aside, the Coupe also features beefed-up suspension and brakes to take care of all the extra power. The chassis will also be lowered by about 10mm for a lower center of gravity, resulting in improved agility. 

The Ghost Coupe will be officially unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show in March and will go on sale later in the year with prices ranging from Rs 1.8 crore to Rs 2.5 crore.
