Oh well.
Maybe it's been tuned for more torque, even if it's not more powerful than the 6.0l?
Power looks "sufficient" in any case...

I'm not really liking it, not aristocratic enough. Too curvy, but not curvaceous. Even the wheels are too conventional.

This Ghost looks like a car (nice car), the Phantom looks like... a Rolls, not a car.

The merge between bootlid and rear window is very nice though.

If you read between the lines you will see the "Ghost" is riding on "Slave Wheels" Ie for testing only , the same wheels used by the F02 , F10 , F11 and F07 - So they will not be the exclusive wheel options for the Rolls-Royce Ghost. The color is one of many that will be available for the Ghost but like the Phantom , The special bespoke customisation programme will be available to "Ghost" customers.

The 200EX which along with the 5er Gran Turismo and the BMW 760Li is currently in Cannes for the film festival in an exlusive setting with a champagne brunch on offer to guests. Both cars are receiving their fair amount of admirers especially the Rolls-Royce and the Gran Turismo - I am told that some female clientle like it's stylish and flexible appearance. and it gives them an excellent view of the road.

Thanks for clearing that up: those wheels looked suspicious to me... Glad they'll be more "Rollsish".

However, the rest of the car still is not convincing me. Well, even if I liked it I couldn't buy one, so...

Panda, good one

I don't know if it is the long range that makes the proportions look a bit wierd. I can't stop tinking of a black loaf.
