Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge (V-Spec)

Of the 90 cars in the Dream Car Garage catalogue that use a V12 engine layout, the Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge (V-Spec) sits in a particularly narrow group: it is one of just 11 turbocharged V12 cars, and one of only 21 that combine a V12 with AWD. That combination is the defining point of this Ghost, placing it apart from the broader V12 field through a specific pairing of configuration and intent.

Its 6.7 litre turbocharged V12 produces 592 bhp and 900 Nm, figures that place it 221st for power among 600 cars. That means it is within the top 37% of the catalogue for output, but its appeal is not built around chasing the highest figure available. The Ghost Black Badge (V-Spec) occupies a more measured position, where the presence of a V12, turbocharging and all-wheel drive creates a distinctive specification rather than simply a pursuit of maximum numbers.

The performance rankings reflect that balance. A 0 to 100 km/h time of 4.7 seconds places it faster than 169 cars in the catalogue, while its 250 km/h top speed sits at 414th overall. These figures show a car that carries serious capability, but its place in the collection comes from the complete package of attributes rather than a single headline metric.

The 2021 model year, four or five seater sedan/saloon body style and UK origin place the Ghost Black Badge (V-Spec) firmly within the traditional luxury category. Rolls-Royce contributes 17 cars to the 600-car catalogue, and this model represents a particular expression of that presence, combining a V12 layout with AWD in a way shared by very few cars in the database. Its used price of £295,000 ranks it 129th by cost, meaning it sits above 471 other cars in the collection. At £498 per bhp, the numbers underline that this is a purchase defined by more than output alone.

A dream garage is built from contrasts, and this Ghost provides one of the clearest examples of luxury shaped by engineering choices. It brings together a turbocharged V12, AWD and a four or five seat saloon format in a package that occupies a distinct corner of the catalogue. The final impression is carried by the figures: a 592 bhp Rolls-Royce with a 6.7 litre V12, 900 Nm of torque and a place among the select turbocharged V12 cars in the collection.
