Went to the launch of the new RR Ghost last night

Popped by quickly to have a look at the new Ghost. The event itself was nice, not too many people. Good food and drinks

In person the car looks nice from the front.
The interior is what you would expect of a RR. However, it is substantially smaller on the interior than the Phantom and I mean by a lot. It is obviously a smaller car, but you will know what I mean if you have been in both.
The rear, I can't for the life of me learn to like. The tail lights look like those "Crown Victoria" cabs you get in the States. I didn't even bother to take a photo of the rear as a result.

Anyway, here are the photos.




Note the 5 series GT in the background.




The Ghost.


Got to love the ladies

I've seen a few of them around Dubai and I also am not very fond of the rear, but overall I like the car. Thanks for the pics!

Looks like a nice event. How do you get invited to these events? Is it because you own a Phantom?

I get invites to all the launches. The dealer network isn't that big over here. I've bought from every single dealer at one stage or another

You're welcome!
I agree, still very contempt with the Phantom.

Thanks for sharing pics Mike. I can say I like this car, but I would still prefer Phantom.

I've seen a few around too bad it doesnt have the Presence I've expected from the Phantom and previous RR models.
