I dont know. Soft tops only in this class. Hardtop might make it a lil less classy

And BMW certainly did enough to differentiate it from its daddy!

And its sibling

 

[fade on you]

Not impressed...not very creative either. Same damn thing as the Phantom but smaller.

 

[STooK]

i think phantom looks so much nicer though...oh well cars that i'll never own.

 

[nicefro]

was anyone else surprised there was that much front end lift when he floored it?

nonetheless, nice car.

 

[mrspectacular]

chances would be i would end ur life for one of those

 

[put em up]

one of the most overrated line of cars i can think of, off the top of my head.

 

[czur1127]

WOW

 

[nocomment6]

nothing special in the design, they're really bringing along the whole modern day RR concept. Great numbers. HOw much is it gonna cost and whats the topspeed is what interests me.

Rolls-Royce has confirmed that its upcoming Ghost will be powered by an all-new turbocharged 6.6-litre V12 engine.

The Ghost, which will be unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show in September, will produce 563bhp and 575lb ft of torque at 1500rpm, while 0-60mph will take 4.7sec. The car's top speed will be capped at 155mph and the V12 will be mated to an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox.

Helmut Riedl, Rolls-Royce director of engineering, said, "First and foremost Ghost is a Rolls-Royce. This means that despite its extraordinary performance figures, it has been engineered for effortless composure and refined power delivery. This is illustrated by the significant levels of low-down torque available, which makes pulling away very smooth and for an exceptionally relaxed driving experience.

"Rolls-Royce power is entirely different to anything else in the automotive world. It is delivered free from stress and exertion but at the same time it must engage the driver. Ghost is about finger-tip control while still enjoying a dynamic connection with the road.

"Equally, passengers need to be cosseted from the physical sensations of acceleration, braking and cornering. Our chassis set-up keeps Ghost stable and flat, preventing it from wallowing or pitching in the corners or imposing undesirable forces on those inside."

Rolls-Royce has also confirmed the Ghost will ride on an intelligent four-corner air suspension system using multi-link aluminium front and rear axles

The first examples are set to be delivered to its first customers early next year, with prices starting at £165,000



Base price for the Ghost here will be $245,000, plus taxes and delivery.

IMHO It looks way better than the Flying Spur which is not very attractive to me

 

[kidposite]

nothing will ever touch the arnage in terms of big body luxury sedans

 

[the rat pack is back]
