When was the last time Rolls-Royce built a sports car? If they did, our automotive knowledge does not stretch back that far, grandpa. In more recent times, they are now building a smaller Rolls-Royce called the Ghost. Of course, “smaller” is still a subjective term, considering the Ghost is bigger than even the BMW 7-Series it is based on. But does it belong on a racetrack any more than the Phantom does?
Abu Dhabi Motors has announced the arrival of the ‘Arizona Sun’ Ghost. The first Ghost commissioned to be released in the ‘Arizona Sun’ exterior colour, this Rolls-Royce was sold directly upon arrival to the showroom in Umm Al Nar.
It’s not everyday that I get a call to come down for a press event in Abu Dhabi, a couple of hours before the actual event. Normally, I wouldn’t bother, but this time it was a chance to drive, briefly, cars from the Rolls Royce range. The BMW-owned firm had two Ghosts and one Phantom lined up for a limited excursion around the streets of Abu Dhabi. While not a proper test drive, a Rolls Royce is still a Rolls Royce after all.
Rolls-Royce has launched its new Ghost model in the GCC. It was unveiled in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia as part of a Middle East tour.
First shown as the 200EX concept at the Geneva Auto Show in March, the ‘baby’ Rolls Royce Ghost has finally been unveiled in production trim, and at least externally, it isn’t too different from the concept.
