2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost Ghost Extended Wheelbase Engine Specs

It was only a matter of time before Rolls-Royce went down the electric route and now that the ultra-luxury carmaker has, it’s continued with the spooky naming convention for its first pure-electric (EV) model that’s been christened the Spectre. A year after its global debut, the Spectre is now here in Malaysia to haunt the wallets of the uber-rich. As it is, the Spectre rides on the aptly named Architecture of Luxury that also carries the Cullinan and current Phantom. Nonetheless, it was designe

For a luxury carmaker with such an ingrained sense of traditionalism, Rolls-Royce finally bit that silver bullet and introduced its Black Badge models in 2016; aimed at “young, self-empowered, self-confident rule-breakers.” Simply put, it was counting on the Black Badge to appeal to the new generation of ultra-wealth and now the 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge is here. Black Badge denotes reengineering existing models with edgier characteristics in terms of design and performance. Did it work

The car is available in 2 wheelbase options, the standard-wheelbase model starts at RM 1.45 million while the extended-wheelbase will start at RM 1.65 million. Keep in mind that the prices stated are before taxes and optional extras. RR allows customers to customise their Ghosts to their fancy with Rolls-Royce Bespoke. Although the Ghost is still easily recognisable with its trademark Rolls-Royce design language,

The Rolls-Royce Ghost is the “baby” Rolls-Royce in the lineup. The current generation Ghost has been in production for about 10 years now and is due for a replacement, which is what you’re looking at here albeit a rendering by Kolesa. It's recognizably a Roll-Royce and the rendering looks just like a shrunken Phantom. The front fascia has been "flatten", with a smaller grille and the car appears shorter as well. The current generation Ghost is based on the BMW platform that is shared with the F0

But even so, the actua

The Kia Optima has been a long-standing alternative to established Japanese D-Segment sedans such as the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. The third-generation Kia Optima (TF) - the first to take on the K5 nameplate - marked a significant leap forward in design, build quality as well as premium features for its time. Today, with prices starting at just RM 30k as advertised on the WapCar’s Cars for Sale page – the Optima K5 remains a great value bargain that has aged gracefully and also has a good t

While other car makers are concerned about slowing sales amidst geopolitical tensions and rising inflation, Toyota is actively working towards selling fewer cars this year and next. The reason? Its record-breaking pace is taking a toll on Toyota employees and suppliers, and the company now wants to slow down, take a zen moment to observe its surroundings, before thinking about its next steps. In the last financial year ending March 2024, Toyota Motor doubled its profit to 2.73 trillion Yen (~RM

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) is extending their support for Malaysia’s ‘Push for Net Zero’ goal by presenting four fully electric EQ models to the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI). Elaborating on the objective of providing these electric Mercedes-Benzes for use by MITI representatives, MBM said, “This initiative provides the Ministry and its agencies an opportunity to experience the luxury and electric technology of Mercedes-Benz, as a conduit to achieve its "Push for Net Zero"

Instead, the Stuttgart outfit announced plans that its hybrid- and petrol-powered variants will continue being on sale up to and beyond 2030. “The Cayenne has always defined the sports car in its segment. In the middle of the decade, the fourth generation will set standards in the segment as an electric SUV,” says

Imagine a convoy of media folks, a fleet of Proton X90s, and a road trip for a durian feast. That’s how Proton rolled out the red carpet. The day was kicked off early with a breakfast. After fuelling up, we gathered for a briefing on the Proton X90 and the day’s driving plan. Each car was loaded with four media reps, ensuring everyone had ample time behind the wheel. Planned driver swaps at checkpoints meant we could all experience the Proton X90. From the moment the Proton X90 rolled, it showed

While China remained the world’s largest car consumer last year, sales of new vehicles in the country have slowed down in recent years. To boost sales of new passenger vehicles, particularly plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs), the Chinese government began introducing subsidies under a scrappage program in late April. Still, retail sales of new passenger vehicles which include sedans, crossovers, SUVs, and MPVs dropped for the third straight month in June. According to t

Proton recently performed a groundbreaking ceremony for new additions to its stamping facilities in Tanjung Malim. Known as stamping E- and F-Line, the new lines will expand the volume of parts stamping at Proton’s Tanjung Malim plant as it prepares to relocate production of the Proton Saga from Shah Alam by 2026. The Shah Alam plant currently only produces the Proton Saga following the discontinuation of the Proton Exora last year. The other Proton models are built at the Tanjung Malim facility

Following Puspakom's recent announcement that it will have to comply with the Inland Revenue Board's (LHDN) move to adopt e-invoicing, many car companies and dealers are bracing for a slowdown in sales of imported cars (CBU), especially battery EVs (BEVs), pick-up trucks, and reconditioned (recon) cars. As with any change in processes, a temporary slowdown in sales is expected in the near term due to the period of adjustment required for phasing in a new system. This should improve in the coming

The recent Puspakom ruling change requiring owners and companies to provide their Tax Identification Number (TIN) before conducting any service transactions has resulted in an abrupt influx of appointments, already causing delays in vehicle deliveries – particularly fully imported (CBU) BEVs, pick-up trucks, and recon cars. Earlier this week, Puspakom announced that starting 25 July 2024, all customers must provide a Tax Identification Number (TIN) for all service transactions via the MyPuspakom
