The Rolls-Royce Ghost has formally been launched post much speculation since the Paris Motor Show in 2006, when Rolls Royce had first made the announcement. Codenamed RR4, the first sketches were released in the spring of 2008. The design is inspired by contemporary furniture, architecture and yachts. Ghost is stylish and less traditional.
The forerunner to the Ghost, 200EX, was unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March 2009. “200EX is a modern execution of timeless Rolls-Royce elegance, breaking with some areas of tradition but retaining the core values that make our marque unique,” said Chief Executive Officer Tom Purves.

When most people used to luxury enjoy the comforts of Ghost, those located in the Persian Gulf have other options when it comes to ultra-luxe cars. From what we hear, Rolls-Royce has decided to make a new full-size Phantom exclusively for the car enthusiasts living in the Middle East.
Only six of these vehicles have been manufactured and were unveiled recently amidst a lot of pomp and show. And this car model is turning to be quite a deal. The mega rich clients of the famous car brand will also get the option of choosing from color options beyond the usual range that is offered to common mortals like us. The picture here is of a Phantom made in two-tone Arizona Sun over English White paint with Crème Light and a Saddle Tan leather interior. All this is complemented by handmade silk rugs and mother of pearl patterns.

Luxury carb brand Rolls-Royce is indeed keeping its new car Ghost as elusive as its name. And as its most awaited Frankfurt Motor Show debut nears, the car makers are teasing us car lovers with little by little information. The latest dope that we got from them informs that the Ghost will be a silent car with a very powerful newly-developed V12 engine. The former was expected because all Rolls-Royce are silent which is why the names Phanton and Ghost.
But the new car model gives more than just that. It can accelerate from 0-60 mph in a matter of 4.8 seconds. And to achieve that goal in a big luxury vehicle like the Ghost, one needs the help of 563 hp which is ably generated by the 6.6 V12’s twin turbocharging.
