Scott and Eni have hinted about it, and it would be logical move by BMW. The marginal cost for developing a coupe and a cabriolet is very low since all the underpinnings are straight out of the F01. This line of cars will be the cash cows while the Phantom line of cars are the brand ambassadors.

^ True, it would be a logical choice to make them ( or at least a coupé version, since a cabrio would still take additional development time)

BTW, a RR Ghost cabrio would be great competition for the Mercedes OceanDrive Concept too

I don't think it's a rumor anymore. Auto Motor und Sport claims 507 hp for the Ghost, and they almost always are right.
So, 507 hp V12 TT for the Ghost, 544 hp V12 TT for the 760i and probably the same all-new V12 TT with around 600 hp for the Phantom soon (???)

The interior doesn't stun but it's a solid blend of English and German aura, very much like the Flying Spur.

Not in a dream.

Ghost Coupe will be priced above the limo ... which will be on current Arnage level.

BMW officials said the max. production output for RR cars will be at approx. 3,500 units per year (all variants of Phantom & Ghost).

RR is not going where Bentley went under VW - with a bit high production for such a prestigious brand.

The official statement on Ghost name says:

"This car will be the first in a new generation of models to carry this evocative name ..."


So, there will be many Ghost versions available in the future.

I guess exclusivity is the priority which is a good move considering how much Bentley and Ferrari are ramping up their production to a few thousand cars.
