Rolls-Royce has issued more technological points of its upcoming Ghost. This new model is due to be unveiled in a year and then it will be for sale.
The manufacture of the Ghost will start later in 2009. This will just double the number of piece produced at the company’s factory in Goodwood.

The car will have a ’state-of-the-art chassis’ which uses four-corner air suspension system and multi-link aluminum front and back axles.

It will be motorized by a 500bhp 6.6-litre turbocharged V12 engine mated to a ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic gearbox. The air abatement system also integrates a lift-and-kneel function, bringing up or letting down the Ghost by 25mm for utilization over sharp driveways or chunky surfaces.

An on-board computer will help in reading sensors about the car so that the best possible ride can be experienced.
Almost 10,000 customers have shown their interest and prices are anticipated to range between £120,000 and £180,000.

Pininfarina took the wraps off its latest called for introduction at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance this past weekend. It is called the Hyperion which is one of the Titans of Greek mythologies.

Based on a Rolls-Royce Drop head coupe, the Hyperion’s carbon fiber bodywork lets in a long hood, an extensive roof with a new top and a reduced rear end figure, which echoes Pininfarina’s fabled sports berlinettas of the 50s and 60s with their piercingly turning down tails and flat deck lids. The front holds back the classic Rolls-Royce grillwork now flanked by Triom LED headlights. The door handles of the donor car still grace the suicide doors, which are now made of solid wood.

The interior of the Hyperion remains largely unchanged, but the driving position has been moved 400mm further back and is now devoid of rear seats.

Perhaps one of the most graceful and beautiful Rolls-Royce motorcars ever was the Phantom II Continental which is a closely-coupled Sport Saloon presented by coach builder Park Ward on its London show stand in the year 1933.

Even though this is not that car but still it almost a perfect replica. The show car’s elegantly falling belt-like is reliably procreated, emphasised by the same narrowing forming. The 12-inch dissimilarity is in the hood and the rear doors. Unofficial fable says it is one of three cars so manufactured prior to the management in Derby determined the abridged rear doors did not allow a well-dressed lady to get into or get out the back seat with self-respect.

The constrict back doors merged with fixed outboard motor rests makes climbing into the back seat uncomfortable. Once within, there’s enough room for a night on the town but is not fit for a lengthy drive.
