Rolls Royce Ghost vs Rolls Royce Wraith

Rolls Royce Ghost vs Rolls Royce Wraith

The Rolls Royce Ghost is a full-size luxury car manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The car
was given the nameplate “Ghost” in honor of Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, the car first produced in
1906. Its production has been underway since 2009 with Andreas Thurner and Charles Coldham
being the lead designers. The Ghost adopts a 4-door saloon body style.
Rolls-Royce Wraith on the other hand is based on Ghost’s architecture but has been transformed into a 2 – door coupe grand tourer. It also adopts most of its platform from the BMW F01.
Production has been underway since 2013 with Pavle Trpinac as its chief designer.

Rolls Royce Technical specifications:

Rolls Royce Performance Statistics
Rolls-Royce Ghost can accelerate from 0 – 60 mph (97 km/h) in just 4.7 seconds. It has a top
speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). Wraith is slightly faster, doing the 0 – 60 mph in less than 4.6
seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 260 km/h. It has a combined cycle fuel
consumption of 10.2 kilometers per liter.
Rolls-Royce Ghost has a 2960 kg gross weight, which is 150 kg more than Rolls-Royce Wraith.
Rolls Royce Engine Data
The Ghost feature a 6592 cc V12 twin turbo engine that can deliver 562 hp (419 kW) at 5250
rpm and 780 Nm (575 lb-ft) torque at 1500 rpm. This power plant, codenamed N74B66 is a
modified version of the BMW N74 V12 engine. The wright uses the same 6592 cc V12 twin
turbo engine but delivers an extra 61 hp and 20 Nm torque both at 5600 rpm and (1500 – 5500)
rpm respectively.
Transmission
Rolls Royce Wraith uses an 8-speed ZF 8HP90 automatic transmission which falls short to the
ZF 8-speed PRNDLTronic “satellite aided transmission” adopted in Ghost’s latest models. With
this state of the art technology on its series II models, the vehicle uses GPS data, driver driving
style and road condition analysis to select the most appropriate gear ratio.
Ghost finds pleasure in its old rear wheel drive platform and is yet to feature the All-Wheel
Drive system adopted by Rolls-Royce Wraith.
Interior design
Ghost has a new and more comfortable seats. The infotainment system is featuring BMW’s latest
technology. The soft natural grain leather upholstery interior is impressive. The small rear
windscreen doesn’t offer impressive visibility, but this is, however, compensated by the huge
front door mirrors which provide exceptional rear view. There is plenty of leg room, head room
and the boot is more spacious than the Rolls-Royce Wraith. The Wraith’s interior comfort has
been spiced, however, by the wood trims, dyed leather and chrome fittings.
Exterior design
Rolls-Royce Ghost now has newly redesigned advance and adaptive LED headlights and
daytime running lights. More sweeping lines at the bottom of the Pantheon grilles graces the
front appearance of the vehicle. It has adopted Phantom’s rear-hinged back-doors which makes
access to the back seats simpler.
They are equipped with the same front and rear ventilated disc brake systems and 19-inch and
20-inch forged alloy wheels in Ghost and Wraith respectively.
Steering and Suspension system
They are both equipped with double wishbone front axle and multi-link rear axle, front and rear
suspension systems. The Ghost uses an electric power steering system but Rolls-Royce opted for
a hydraulic power steering for the Wraith.
Dimensions
Rolls-Royce Ghost has an extended wheelbase and length of 3465 mm and 5569 mm
respectively when compared with Wraith’s wheelbase and length of 3112 mm and 5268 mm.
They both, however, maintain widths off 1948 mm.

Ferrari 458 vs Ferrari 488

Ferrari 458 vs Ferrari 488

Ferrari 458 vs Ferrari 488 If you’re not familiar with the Ferrari 488 GTB or Ferrari 458 Italia, one pass from either supercar will get you up to speed real quick. … The Ferrari 488 GTB is the new successor to the incredible Ferrari 458 Italia and comes equipped with a turbocharged unit instead of the traditional.

The 488 is a mid-engine sports car produced by Ferrari and was introduced in 2015 to replace the
previous 458. Both cars adopt 2-door berlin Etta and 2-door spider body styles. The 488 GTB is
one of the hotly anticipated new models to come out of Maranello considering the massive shift
from naturally aspirated engines to the new line of turbocharged Ferrari engines.

The 488 GTB name marks the return to the classic Ferrari model designation with the 488 in its
moniker indicating the engine’s unitary displacement, while the GTB stands for Gran Turismo Berlin Etta. The car not only delivers unparalleled performance but also makes that extreme
power exploitable and controllable to an unprecedented level even by less expert drivers. An exceptional engine and sophisticated aerodynamics combined with refined vehicle aerodynamics controls, radically improve the already razor-sharp responsiveness of Ferrari’s to near struck level.

Ferrari Technical Specifications

Performance

Ferrari 458 Italia has a power to weight ratio of 2.61 kg per horsepower. Its official 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration is 2.9 – 3.0 seconds. The top speed is 340 km/h (210 mph) and has a fuel consumption in combined cycle of 13.3 L/100km while producing 307 g/km of CO2.

On the other hand, the 488 GTB has a weight to power ratio of 2.2 kg per horsepower. The claimed manufacturer performance is 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.0 seconds, 0 – 200 km/h (124 mph) in 8.3 seconds. It has a top speed in excess of 330 km/h (205 mph) and produces 260 g/km of CO2.

Engine

Unquestionably, the biggest change for the 488 GTB is the new engine that resides under its sculpted body work. Gone is the 4.5 L, 570 PS (419 kW; 562 hp), high revving, naturally aspirated V8 engine and in its place sits the new 3.9 L twin-turbo, 670 PS (493 kW; 661 hp). The 458 attains a torque of 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) at 3250 rpm while the 488 gets the massive 760 Nm (561 lb-ft) of torque at just 3000 rpm.

Transmission

Both models feature a dual-clutch 7-speed Getrag gearbox.

Interior Design

A cursory glance at the interiors of both cars might suggest little has changed, however, a closer look will reveal that the 488 has meticulously refreshed plenty inside. All the switchgear, apart
from the steering wheel and for the climate control, has been restyled and the center console simplified. The newly shaped vents flank the instrument binnacle which itself gets redesigned graphics for the infotainment system and performance data screens. The air vents are less bulky and vertical, while the console between the seats has been replaced
with a central one.

Exterior Design

The body of the 488 GTB has been redesigned to increase downforce by 50 % over the 458 Italia, while reducing drag. The new front double splitter serves to increase radiator cooling by
forcing air into them and also channeling air over the underbody vortex generators and in the process creates a ground effect without adding drag. Another thing to note also is the newly designed blown rear spoiler integrated into the rear deck lid and bumper which increases downforce without requiring a raised wing.

The increased size of the rear diffuser over its predecessor increases the velocity of the air exiting the underbody to further lower the air pressure in conjunction with the active
aerodynamic flaps that both reduce drag and increase downforce.
The flexible vanes in the front grille of the 458 have gone in favor of a more gaping intake with a fixed splitter. The lighting units have been subtly redesigned and the bonnet now houses two big air vents to improve air flow over the car. With all these, however, the fundamental layout of the 488 GTB has not changed that much from the 458 Italia.

Dimensions

The wheelbase, length, width and height of the 458 are 2650 mm, 4527 mm, 1937 mm and 1213 mm respectively against 488’s 2650 mm, 4568 mm, 1952 mm and 1213 mm.

With a 1370 kg dry weight, the 488 GTB is 10 kg lighter than the 458 Italia, and while it’s a little longer and wide,
the overall resemblance is obvious.

Choosing between the two comes down to what you are looking for in your Ferrari road car. If you love the roar of a naturally aspirated Ferrari engine, you might want to explore the 458 Italia.

If speed is your true desire, the Ferrari 488 GTB will delight.
