Today we go back to discussing the upcoming Rolls-Royce Ghost on the occasion of the release of these new spy pictures that show a white prototype during the road tests that precede its debut. Over the past few weeks the Ghost has shed its camouflage and we can now see the body of the entire car.

These takes are testament to the nearing of production of the car: the first ones will be assembled by the end of the year and marketed at the beginning of 2010. As far as the engines are concerned, a v12 turbocharged engine with 507 hp and 720 Nm of torque, derived from the 6.0-liter engine of the new BMW 760i, should already be available when the Ghost debuts. The Rolls specimens could have even undergone an increase in dimensions, reaching up to 6.6 liters.

The Ghost will pride itself on its impressive technological paraphanelia - besides the prized materials expected by the most pure Rolls tradition - that will allow it to reach and surpass, for the first time in the history of the Goodwood trademark, 2000 cars a year in sales.
