Rolls Royce Ghost

Rolls Royce Ghost

The Rolls-Royce Ghost is a new, smaller luxury saloon automobile from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The “Ghost” nameplate, named in honour of a car first produced in 1906, was announced in April 2009 at the Auto Shanghai show.

During development, the Ghost was known as the “RR4.” Designed aiming for a lower price category for Rolls models, the expected retail price will be around £170,000 (US$255,000).

The production model was officially unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The Ghost was designed by Ian Cameron and engineered by Helmut Riedl, who led the development of the fifth-generation Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The Ghost, codenamed RR4 during its design phase, was developed to compete with vehicles significantly less expensive than the Phantom, such as the Maserati Quattroporte and Bentley Continental Flying Spur.
