Rolls-Royce Ghost Mk I

The Rolls-Royce Ghost Mk I reaches 60 mph in 4.73 s (100 km/h in 4.93 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.85 s, tripping the lights at 110.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.06 s and the eighth mile in 8.41 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.23 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Ghost Mk I

The 2009 Rolls-Royce Ghost Mk I is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 2,359 kg with 563 bhp, which works out at 239 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 239 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.06 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,881st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 13th quickest of the 23 Rolls-Royces here. Its 110.7 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Rolls-Royce Ghost Mk I 0-60 time?
The Rolls-Royce Ghost Mk I reaches 60 mph in 4.73 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,881st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Rolls-Royce Ghost Mk I quarter mile time?
12.85 s at 110.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.41 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.06 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Rolls-Royce Ghost Mk I have?
563 bhp and 2,359 kg, which is 239 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 266 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Rolls-Royce Ghost Mk I?
Closest here on pace: Pontiac G8 GXP (4.68 s), Fpv FG F6 (4.66 s), Callaway C12 (4.70 s). Each one can be raced against the Rolls-Royce Ghost Mk I in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Rolls-Royce Ghost Mk I is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
