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.

Oh and I see they kept the same plastic grill....
again....wwweeeekkkk!!!!!
dude... i havent said anything about rolls, directly if you have noticed....or havent. i said, more or less, about bmw. it's not that i dont like rr. but if i want a grandpa's car, id coose a bentley. but this is irelevant (even though bentley have better designs than rr).. and yes, as roberob put it, old rr looked better. he is, as they say a "traditionalist". and in some extent, i too like the older rr's better.
What's to know? All he has to do is stick his head up his own arse and that pretty much sums the type of person that purchases this over price & over-hyped pos (yes, I said that!). Talk about a wallflower. I'd rather put a lazy boy chair in the back of a pickup truck! OK, maybe not but considering what else you could buy for the money it still leaves me with this question: WHY? I like the older (by that, I mean really old) RR designs but as of recently, or past 30 years, could they've at least let the look of the car match the price? You know, it's about time someone told them that you can only eat and dress so well.
this is a tad disappointing in my lowly opinion!
