White RR Ghost spied
By worldcarfans:
Just days after catching a two-tone Rolls-Royce Ghost, our spy photographers have managed to get the first pictures of a prototype decked out in white. Although the photos don't provide any new details about the upcoming entry-level model, they show the Ghost in one of the brand's most popular colors.
Commonly referred to as the "baby" Rolls-Royce, the 2010 Ghost is actually a massive car as it measures 5399mm (212.6 inches) in length, 3295mm (129.7 inches) in wheelbase, 1948mm (76.7 inches) in width, and 1550mm (61 inches) in height.
Power comes from a new 6.6-liter turbocharged V12 engine with more than 500 bhp. The engine is connected to an eight-speed ZF gearbox which was tuned to deliver unparalleled shift comfort and responsiveness. In order to keep this beast under control, Rolls-Royce has equipped the Ghost with an advanced air suspension system that offers dynamic handling while preserving a luxurious ride quality.
The Ghost will be officially unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, with production beginning shortly thereafter.

That grille and those wingmirrors, not loving them. It looks like is has an overbite and big ears. A grille that extended all the way to the bottom of the front bumper, and wingmirrors that were mounted in the front lower corner of the side windows instead of on the hip-line of the doors would have worked better imo. In white, the current mirrors looks like a mix of a stormtrooper's helmet and a showerhead, at least from this angle.
Then again my opinion is biased

Mike S just inadvertently caused a thread hijack! I'd much rather be hiding in the boot of his car than in the RR Ghost (I guess the same accounts for most of us).
Anyhu, a question you've probably gotten many times before, do you drive it or do you get driven?
