Rolls-Royce Ghost Performance Overview
Rolls-Royce’s full-size Ghost performance record spans 2010 to 2021 in the available data, with 6 verified tests across four model years. From launch, the Series I Ghost (2010–2020) established a consistent baseline around its 563-hp twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V12, engine code N74B66, and gasoline powertrain. The earliest 2010 Sedan set the initial pace at 4.3 seconds to 60 mph, while a 2011 Sedan recorded 4.7 seconds and later Series I examples included a 2012 Sedan at 4.6 seconds.
Through that first generation, quarter-mile results clustered in the low-13- to high-12-second range, reflecting steady output rather than major step changes. A 2010 Sedan covered the quarter mile in 12.8 seconds at 113.7 mph, and a 2012 Sedan ran 12.7 seconds at 114.3 mph. The transition to Series II in 2021 kept the Ghost with a twin-turbo V12 gasoline layout, now using the N74B68, still rated at 563 hp, but it produced the quickest figures in this set: 4.2 seconds to 60 mph and a class-leading 12.6-second quarter-mile at 112.2 mph. In current form, Series II stands as the quickest Ghost yet in independently tested acceleration.

How we verify Rolls-Royce Ghost performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Rolls-Royce Ghost trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
