Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended

Just 11 of the 600 cars in the Dream Car Garage catalogue combine a turbocharged engine with a V12 layout, and the Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended sits inside that unusually narrow group. That single position says more about its character as a collection choice than outright pace figures do. This is a car defined by a rare mechanical combination, a 6.7 litre turbocharged V12 delivering 563 bhp and 850 Nm through the rear wheels, a specification shared by a very small part of the catalogue.

The Ghost Extended is not positioned as the catalogue’s quickest or fastest machine. Its 0-100 km/h time of 5 seconds ranks 471st of 600, while its 250 km/h top speed ranks 414th. Instead, its appeal comes from how those numbers are delivered. The car occupies a distinctive space where a V12, turbocharging and RWD meet, a trio found together in just 68 cars for the drivetrain layout and 11 for the full turbocharged V12 pairing. For a collector building a varied garage from 600 possibilities, that difference matters. The Ghost Extended represents a particular interpretation of luxury, where the engineering choice itself becomes the defining feature.

As a 2020 Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended from the United Kingdom, it also belongs to a marque with 17 cars represented in the catalogue and a country represented by 160 cars. Its used price of £260,000 places it among the more expensive choices available, ranking 138th of 600 and sitting above 462 cars by price. At £462 per bhp, the figure reflects a car where cost is connected to the wider character of the vehicle rather than a simple pursuit of maximum performance.

The final decision for a dream garage comes down to what role a car fills among 600 alternatives. The Ghost Extended occupies neither the extreme of acceleration nor the peak of top speed, but it stands apart through a combination shared by very few. Adding this Rolls-Royce creates a collection with a rare turbocharged V12 RWD presence, a luxury sedan that shifts the balance away from chasing the highest numbers and towards preserving a distinctive place within the catalogue’s landscape. Its position is clear: not the fastest, not the most powerful, but one of the few cars that brings together these exact qualities.
