From the latest spy shots we can see that the Ghost is heavily influenced by the 2009 Rolls-Royce EX200 concept car.
The Ghost essentially resembles a vehicle with modern Rolls-Royce lines in a slightly smaller package than the current Phantom. Design elements such as the elevated prow, long bonnet, short front overhang, sharply raked A-pillar and elegant tail should give it an air of informal presence, while also allowing for a sportier appearance.
The vehicle features a pair of suicide-style rear-hinged doors in the back, and is designed to comfortably seat five adults. It stretches roughly 5,399mm in length, 1,948m across and stands 1,550m in height.
According to its designers, the interior will be kept deliberately clear. The controls will be neatly sculptured, with more important functions emphasised by accents of chrome. As for the rest of the cabin, you will only find the finest in leather and natural wood trim and plenty of mood lighting.
Drive will come from a 6.6L turbocharged V12, with an 8-speed gearbox sending power rearward, and maximum torque of 750Nm. Power at the crankshaft is expected to top 500hp (373kW). Some technologies will also be shared with the Phantom and the Drophead. The engine itself may be a bit smaller than the Phantom line's powerplant, but output is still very healthy.
The car will be unveiled officially at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Production will start at the company’s Goodwood manufacturing facility on the south coast of England later in the year. And sales should begin in early 2010 and prices are speculated at around £180,000 (US$286,600) a pop.
