The Rolls-Royce
Silver Ghost was named ‘The Best Car in the World’. Now, a modern Ghost from
the Goodwood-based brand is looking to pay its respects via a new special
edition.
Called the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Collection, it
was just unveiled by the British automaker and, as expected, it’s offered in a
limited production run. Only 35 examples will ever see the light of day, all of
them updated so as to underline the fact that they’re special.
However, they do include the Cassiopeia
Silver paint, black grille, Hallmark of AX201, which was the registration plate
of the original Silver Ghost, hammered copper insert in tribute to the copper
that was used extensively in the engine bay of the classic car, and polished
wheel centers.
But the new Silver Ghost Collection wouldn’t be a
true Rolls-Royce limited model without other special touches. So, it gets the
‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ crafted from solid silver, engraved chrome wheel surrounds,
coachline with “pure silver particles”, according to the manufacturer, and open
pore Tudor oak with silver onlays.
Also letting everyone this isn’t your ordinary
Ghost, are the thread plates inside that say ‘Silver Ghost Collection – One of
Thirty-Five’, as well as the Forest Green leather used throughout the cabin, to
go with all the silver touches.
Rolls-Royce hasn’t announced any pricing details
yet, but we wouldn’t be surprised if all 35 units were spoken for already.
