The Rolls-Royce Ghost added to the Miami police fleet is a first-generation Series II model, based on the F01 BMW 7 Series platform. While the car shares about 20 per cent of its parts with the BMW 7 Series, it boasts unique features such as a 3,290 mm wheelbase, distinctive roof and bonnet height, and track widths. Additionally, the Ghost is equipped with air spring suspension borrowed from the Rolls-Royce Phantom and shares the FlexRay electronic system with its larger stablemate.
Under the hood, the Rolls-Royce Ghost is powered by a formidable 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This powerhouse generates 571 bhp and 850 Nm of torque, propelling the car from 0-100 kmph in a claimed 4.3 seconds and from 0-160 kmph in 10.4 seconds, with a top speed of 250 kmph.
The Miami Beach Police Department expressed their excitement about the new addition, describing it as a stunning recruitment tool. However, the move was met with criticism on social media, with some users questioning the decision to add such a luxurious vehicle to the police fleet. The department defended their choice, emphasising their commitment to high standards of policing and community service.
