The Rolls-Royce Ghost was all-new... a decade ago. The model has received several updates, but it's probably time for a new model, as suggested by the numerous spyshots.
Traditionally, the Phantom is the car you buy if you're a hardcore Rolls-Royce sedan fan and are rocking billions in your bank account. Every all-out baller is trying to get the Cullinan SUV right now. But we're still glad to see a second-generation Ghost, especially when we know Japanese tuners will make magic happen.
The spied prototypes have all shown an evolution of the traditional design language that we frankly find very pleasing, especially after the Cullinan. The baby Ghost will look quite similar to its flagship brother, the Phantom.
In case you don't want to wait until the full reveal, here's a nice set of accurate renderings from Kolesa. According to our information, the new Ghost will debut this fall and hit the market next year.
As you can probably tell, the grille is now flush with the body, while simpler yet more imposing headlights have been installed. The soft curves of the Ghost Series II (that's the facelift of the current model) have given way to a few creases.
The air intakes at the bottom of the bumper have been transformed into one wide inlet that looks like a displeased smirk. This car is judging how much you make!
The new Ghost rides on Rolls' Architecture of Luxury platform and looks about the same length as before (212 inches long with a 130-inch wheelbase). But they will also have a long-wheelbase model with about half a foot of extra distance between you and the driver.
Power should still come from the 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 engine generating somewhere short of 600 horsepower. No doubt BMW will trickle all the technological improvements from the 7 Series and X7 to this vehicle. That means improved safety, autonomous driving, digital everything and maybe even gesture controls for the infotainment.
