Rolls-Royce has announced that the Ghost Extended Wheelbase will be at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, acting as the Race Director’s car.

Powered by the company’s brawny 6.6-litre, twin-turbo V12 engine, which transfers its 420 kW (563 hp) and 780 Nm (575 lb/ft) of torque to the road via an eight-speed automatic transmission, the elongated variant is still capable of cracking 100 km/h in just five seconds.

Painted in midnight sapphire with a silver satin bonnet, and wafting along on air-suspension with electronic variable damping, the occupants enjoy the benefits of a panoramic sunroof and hand stitched crème light and navy blue leather upholstery complimented by dark wenge veneer elements.

Rolls-Royce has also brought along a blue velvet sparkle Phantom Saloon Series II press car, which will be stretching its legs today, providing VIP and media drives up the hill.
