Rolls Royce Ghost Spied in White Livery

Do you seriously think that is the finished grille? Look at it closely. The RR badge is covered in the same black plastic too. The grille is "disguised" hence the "spied" in the article title.

you don't know anything about Rolls Royce , do you ?

well God, what's to know about RR? enlighten me. 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.

How do you know how much torque there is or HP? They could have designed it to have the same HP but used that extra displacement to create more low end torque as this thing weighs as much as a whale. Just like the S600 and Maybach share the same block, but they are very different engines.

Your argument is so weak!! - So you like old school Rolls design and those are OK- but any new Rolls are pompous? Guy, Rolls has ALWAYS been for the pompous. Back in the 1920s a Rolls cost the same as it does today if not MORE (if you adjust the money accordingly with the time period). You talk like a Rolls owner, which you're not, and probably has never seen a Phantom. I dare you not to drool! Last week in Miami Beach I spotted a Phantom all blacked out with tasteful rims (not bling) that thing was completely worth $350,000+. Are you kidding me? Thing has a bar in the back!

What argument? And who said anything about being "pompous"? First, it's no surprise that RR has always been a symbol of status/elitism. That was never for debate! Second, sorry to inform you but you are not educating anyone here by worshiping what little you know. Third, continue to hype up this car as much as you want to in your mind, but demonstrating one's own foolish assumptions doesn't justify or support this discussion, or argument (if that's what you want to call it). I work in San Francisco. Everything from Bentley's, to Rolls, to Lambo's, to you name it, even Bugatti Veyron's, are almost common place in these parts. Of that group, Rolls are the least impressive & the one that gets the most shock when I tell others, who can't tell it apart from anything else, about how much it cost & why. And yes, I happen to like older cars too such as RR's, Jag's, & Duesenberg's. However, aesthetically speaking, what sets the current Rolls from a newer Benz? Nothing! My point, which if you haven't all ready figured out, is being too conservative! I don't see anything "pompous" about a Rolls other than the rare knowledge I have, that many others don't, about it's "gawk" factor.
