"With the Ghost, Rolls-Royce has followed Bentley's lead and not been shy about making its 'entry-level' car substantially more powerful and therefore quicker than the flagship model above it." – Autocar.

Its name evoking that of the Edwardian-era Silver Ghost, the Rolls-Royce Ghost was conceived as a smaller and more affordable alternative to the range-topping Phantom, whose practical and aesthetically pleasing rear-hinged back doors it inherited. The prototype, coded '200EX', first appeared in 2009 at the Geneva Motor Show, with the almost unaltered production model making its debut later that year at Frankfurt. This new 'entry-level' Rolls-Royce was based on the contemporary BMW 7-Series platform and intended to compete with Bentley's Flying Spur and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The Ghost was powered by a 6.6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine, which delivered its 562bhp via a ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox, and despite its not inconsiderable weight (5,490lb) could race to 60mph (97km/h) in 4.7 seconds on its way to an electronically limited maximum speed of 155.3mph.

Presented in generally excellent condition, this beautiful Rolls-Royce Ghost has belonged to the current vendor since 19th January 2012 having had only one former keeper. The car has been stored securely in a private underground car park in London and has been freshly serviced before the sale. The current odometer reading is circa 15,763 miles.
