Rolls-Royce Ghost appeared to the world in Prague. We were there
-
The British carmaker Rolls-Royce has chosen Prague for the world premiere of the new generation of its Ghost model
-
The car, which according to the carmaker has only a statue and an umbrella in common with the previous generation, arrived in gray paint
-

Just a week after the publication of the first photos of the new Ghost model, Rolls-Royce also revealed its public premiere. It took place directly in Prague, in one of the galleries in Karlín. The British carmaker brought a model here in a decent gray lacquer complemented by a dark purple hand-painted line. As if to underscore the fact that the new Ghost is her first model to be “postopulent.”
It is precisely with this word that he now marks his style. Simply put, this means that the Rolls-Royce Ghost will continue to be unusually luxurious, but it will no longer scream so much into the world. They are helped by a more subtle coloration and calmer body lines. A car is supposed to be something like a luxury item that its owner most enjoys feeling like he has.
The Autobible was in place at the unveiling in Prague. The hall, filled with journalists, testifies to the fact that Rolls-Royce also attracted attention with its discreet approach. And even though, in terms of appearance, it only looks like a larger evolution of the previous model, it is a completely new car. The carmaker claims that it only has an umbrella in the door and a statue of Spirit of Ecstasy in common with the previous one. We have already written about this here:

Although the Ghost is smaller than the Phantom, it still looks like a huge piece of car. The cabin, which can be reached in the rear seats by means of a door that opens in the opposite direction, invites you to sit down. But if you would like to hire a driver, you can get a version with an extended wheelbase, which will have its premiere at the end of September. In any case, the door is now not only closing electrically at the button, but also opening. Just pull from the outside or inside by the handle. If you hold it, the door moves slowly.
With stars overhead
Especially the passengers in the back will enjoy the sky overhead. We also know this from other models of brands, in the SUV Cullinan Black Badge then appeared the function of a shooting star. She is also with the Ghost. In front, the front passenger has a fluorescent 850-star dashboard in front of him, which subtly completes the atmosphere of a luxury cabin. The dashboard, like the exterior, looks more evolutionary.
Ghost has more in common with Cullinan. The designers decided to forget about the joint period with the BMW 7 Series (it had the first generation) and build the new Ghost on its own Rolls-Royce aluminum platform. Like the giant SUV, the Ghost has all-wheel drive. The twelve-cylinder with a volume of 6.75 liters will offer an output of 420 kW (571 hp) and a torque of 850 Nm. That’s enough for a car weighing over 2.5 tons to reach 100 in 4.5 seconds.
But everything will take place gently. Rolls-Royce is known for making driving a relaxing affair. I can only prove this by the fact that the designers used a meter of insulation to make the cabin as quiet as possible. An extra soft chassis is a matter of course. It is important that the owner simply takes a break from the worries of everyday millionaires on board.

By the way, the British presented their new Ghost in Prague precisely because they trust the local Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Prague dealership, which belongs to the CarTec Group network. It has already received five awards for its work. He has been selling cars with a statuette on the bow in the Czech Republic since 2015. Now he will also offer a new Ghost. Its price starts at 250,000 euros, ie about 6.6 million crowns. This is an amount without tax.
