Rolls-Royce has boasted that it makes the best car in the world since the Silver Ghost rolled off the line in 1906. So, any vehicle named after this must be special, and the Ghost, which was introduced in 2009, certainly is. The full-size saloon is basically the platonic ideal of a Rolls—as much a joy to drive as it is to be driven in. This is especially true of the high-performance Black Badge variant. This blacked-out version of the four-door is powered by a specially tuned 6.6-liter V-12 that pumps out 591 hp and and 664 ft lbs of torque, increases of 28 hp and 37 ft lbs of torque over the standard version. Thanks to the extra power, the car can shoot from zero to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Who knew a gas-powered Rolls could be so quick?
