The Rolls Royce of the Day™ is not a diecast model (or a vehicle I shall ever be able to own. ) It is the new Rolls Royce Ghost. It sure looks purty.
The Ghost is slotted in size between the tank-like RR Phantom and the BMW 7 Series.
The Ghost is slotted in size between the tank-like RR Phantom and the BMW 7 Series.
The Ghost has rear Coach (Suicide) doors like its larger sibling. The Ghost also comes with an optional polished aluminium bonnet like that found on select Phantom Coupes and Phantom Drophead Coupes.
The Ghost has a sleek and more rounded exterior shape than the block-like Phantom. The Ghost is pure elegance on wheels and harkens back to the grand coachbuilt cars like the Silver Cloud.
It's interior is pure Rolls Royce with nary a hint of Germanic interference in its design.
The big difference with the interior is the large transmission tunnel due to this car sharing more of its platform with the brand new BMW 7 series. The Phantom has a near flat floor like the cars from the 20s and 30s.
The Ghost dashboard is cleaner and more elegant looking than the dash in the Phantom.
