Scoop: Rolls-Royce Ghost Getting Ready for its First Facelift


After updating the Phantom range last year and adding a new and comparatively sportier coupe, the Wraith, just last month, Rolls-Royce engineers and designers have turned their attention to the brand's third and most affordable model, the Ghost, which is offered in regular and long-wheelbase flavors.

If you know Rolls-Royce, then you shouldn't be surprised to learn that the first facelift for the Ghost won't bring any earthshaking updates.

New Rolls-Royce Ghost Alpine Trial Centenary Collection Looks Back 100 Years for Inspiration


Premium automakers are well aware of the fact that affluent Chinese customers have a thing for special edition models, which is why you'll be seeing plenty of them at the Auto China 2013 in Shanghai.

Rolls-Royce, of course, is no stranger to limited edition versions, but with the new Ghost Alpine Trial Centenary Collection, it's the first time in the company's history that a bespoke model has taken inspiration from a heritage Rolls-Royce.

Rolls-Royce Creates One-of-a-Kind Pink Ghost FAB1 for Charity


When individual buyers opt for an eye-popping pink paint job for their luxury ride, it's usually a statement of opulence and occasionally…bad taste, but when automakers do it, most of the times, it has something to do with breast cancer awareness, which is the case of the pink-colored Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase special featured in these photos.

Over the past few days, many roads inside and around the city were flooded stranding hundreds if not thousands of motorists.

In one incident, a Rolls-Royce Ghost saloon, said to cost around 10 billion IDR or over 1 million USD in Indonesia, was photographed outside the Bundaran Hotel partially submerged.

Rolls Royce Wants to Mesmerize Middle Eastern Clients with ‘One Thousand and One Nights’ Ghosts


Not that clients from the Middle East who can afford a Rolls Royce model really need a special reason to buy one, but just in case they do, the British firm is giving them one with the release of a bespoke collection of Ghost family cars named after, and inspired by, the famous tale ‘The Arabian Nights Entertainment’.

Rolls Royce Makes Some Minor Improvements to 2013 Model Year Ghost


To some extent, even under the leadership of the BMW Group, Rolls Royce continues to believe that its cars are like a fine wine and only get better with age, which ultimately translates to long product cycles.

In between new model introductions, however, Britain's most famous car manufacture subtly refines its products, which is the case for the 2013 model year Ghost that was introduced today.

Spy Shots: Swanky Rolls Royce Ghost Coupe Visits the 'Ring for Some High Speed Laps


The Nürburgring track is one of the last places you would expect to see a Rolls Royce, but if the rumors turn out to be true, the new Ghost-based Coupe may feel at home even here.

You see, the new two-door model, the name of which remains a mystery for now, is said to be the sportiest, fastest and best handling model ever to wear the "Spirit of Ecstasy" ornament on its hood.

While utilizing the platform and mechanical hardware of the Ghost sedan, itself related to the BMW 7-Series, the new Coupe will benefit from a shorter chassis with several upgrades including sportier suspension, brake and steering systems as well as a tuned version of the saloon's 6.6-liter twin turbo V12 engine believed to produce 600-horses or more.

Rolls-Royce gets Artsy with "Art Deco Movement" Inspired Ghost and Phantom Models in Paris


The term Art Deco was coined in Paris after the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, which translates to International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts.

It describes an artistic and design movement that begun in the 1920’s and influenced many aspects of 20th century design such as industrial products, fashion and architecture – a well-known example of which is the Chrysler Building in New York City.

Upcoming Ghost Coupe Rumored to be the Fastest Production Rolls Royce Ever

Link
The Ghost Coupe that our spies recently captured testing in Germany will be much more than a two-door version of the premium brand's entry-level model as company sources claim it will also be the fastest production model to ever wear a Rolls Royce badge.

The news comes via a report from Autocar magazine, which says that the Ghost Coupe is being developed as a response to the newest, high-powered models from Bentley and to a lesser extent, Aston Martin.

Spy Shots: Rolls Royce Preparing Ghost-Based Coupe Model


The expansion of the Rolls Royce range with the lower-priced and smaller-sized Ghost sedan in 2010 was only the beginning for the Goodwood-based luxury carmaker.

In about a year's time, possibly at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, Rolls Royce will present the first offshoot of the Ghost family in the form a new coupe model, rumored to revive the Corniche nameplate.

Carscoop's photographers caught a heavily disguised prototype of the Ghost coupe model running on the streets of Munich, Germany.

The Bavarian group's technicians tried to fool us that the car had regular front doors and smaller, suicide-style rear doors, but look closely at the spy pictures and it becomes clear that they are fake and that the car will be equipped with two suicide front doors, just like the larger Phantom Coupe.

Several BMW Models and Rolls Royce Ghost Recalled for Circuit Board that Poses a Fire Risk


With an MSRP of around $250,000, the most affordable model in Rolls-Royce's lineup, the Ghost, costs about four times as much as the top (non-M) BMW 5-Series in the States, the 550i (MSRP: $62,000).

Still, that doesn’t mean you won't find common parts in these two models, and not only, as the BMW Group's latest recall proves.

One-Off 24k Gold Rolls Royce Ghost Purple by Fenice Milano Poses a $3 Million Question: Why?


They are right to say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in this instance, surely "love must be blind"…

Enter the world of Italian coachbuilder Fenice Milano, which has revealed plans to build a one-off custom Rolls Royce Ghost for an unnamed client with bottomless pockets and a gaudy sense of style.

Fenice Milano's customer was fascinated with the brand's Ghost-based Diva collection, previewed back in 2010, but wanted something a bit more glitzy.

The car will be finished in a deep purple paint job before the Italian firm customizes the exterior with a 24k gold paint and trim accents covering the hood, grille, front and rear bumper aprons, side skirts, wheels and window surrounds.

More gold can be found in the British limousine's interior, which will also be customized in terms of styling and materials to match the outside theme.
