Watch from the rear seat as a Rolls-Royce Ghost storms the North Loop!

Popular Russian blogger Mikhail Sharudin has posted a video where he invites another car aficionado, Fabian, to pilot a Rolls-Royce Ghost on a breezy ride through the Nordschleife section of the Nürburgring. Sharudin himself took a back seat and filmed the entire process.

At the fastest parts of the track, you can see the luxury saloon accelerating to 180 km/h (112 mph). It can probably do much more, though, given that it comes powered by a 6.6-liter, twin-turbo V12 rated at 570 hp (425 kW) and 820 Nm (605 lb-ft) of torque.

The current-generation Ghost has been in production for 11 years now. It has received several upgrades since the original launch that have brought it new looks and new strengths. In 2014, the V-Specification was launched with more engine power as well as refreshed exterior and cabin. Since recently, another option package is available, which includes many suspension and handling tweaks.

The ultimate Rolls-Royce Ghost comes in the Black Badge version, which churns out 612 hp (456 kW) and 840 Nm (620 lb-ft) of torque.
