The Rolls-Royce Ghost is a luxury saloon from
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The "Ghost"
nameplate, named in honour of the Silver
Ghost , a car first produced in 1906, was
announced in April 2009 at the Auto Shanghai
show. [1][2] During development, the Ghost
was known as the "RR04". Designed as a
smaller, "more measured, more realistic car"
than the Phantom , [3] aiming for a lower price
category for Rolls-Royce models, the retail
price is around £170,000 (US$255,000). [2]
The production model was officially unveiled
at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The 17 cm
longer option Ghost Extended Wheelbase was
introduced in 2011.

The original concept car, named the 200EX,
was officially unveiled at the March 2009
Geneva Motor Show , indicating the styling
direction of the production model Ghost.
Unlike the aluminum-bodied Phantom, the
200EX was made from steel, which has a
higher tensile strength and can therefore be
made thinner. [4] The chassis used an
intelligent four corner air suspension system
and multi-link aluminium front and rear axles.
Systems such as Active Roll Stabilisation, four
corner air springs and Variable Damping
Control operate as one, imperceptibly, to
provide the best possible comfort for
occupants. Connected to the main computer,
the suspension is able to detect the
movement of a single rear passenger from
one side of the seat to the other, and
compensates accordingly. [5]
