ROLLS-ROYCE GHOST EXTENDED WHEELBASE


Rolls-Royce had chosen Shanghai to reveal the first of a number of models of its new smaller saloon: the Ghost Extended Wheelbase. Like the stretched Phantom, the Ghost 'EWB' is simply a longer and more spacious version of the standard four-door. The car has an extra 170mm of space between the axles, but that extra length has been balanced visually, with only 35mm of extra length going into the rear doors.


The Ghost 'EWB' will go into production at Goodwood later this year. UK prices have yet to be set, but in China, the car will cost 5.118 million RMB, which is roughly about 784,000 USD, 20 percent more than a regular Ghost. 

50 Cent might want to upgrade his regular Ghost to this one.
