Rolls-Royce has published the first teaser
sketch of the latest-generation Ghost ahead of an expected release early this
fall. The teaser consists of three simple design lines to preview the overall
shape of the new Rolls-Royce Ghost. This teaser, as well as recent spy shots,
seems to indicate that it will be slightly sleeker than the previous-generation
model while still epitomizing all that’s great with the British car
manufacturer.
The release of this teaser comes shortly
after Rolls-Royce confirmed the existence of the 2021 Ghost in an open letter
sent to customers and shared online. It also comes alongside an animation
(below) previewing the new car. In this letter, Rolls-Royce boss Torsten
Müller-Otvös confirmed the vehicle will be unveiled sometime between September
and November and follow a design philosophy that Rolls-Royce dubs ‘Post
Opulence.’
According to the British car manufacturer,
its customers are looking for more minimalism in design. Rolls-Royce says it
too has noticed a trend towards minimalism among many luxury consumers. Spy
shots of the 2021 Ghost have indicated its exterior won’t be drastically
different than the outgoing model but the front end will sit slightly lower, as
will the rear.
Underpinning the new Ghost will be the
same aluminum underpinnings as the Phantom. The luxury sedan will be sold with
a 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 producing 563 hp and 900 Nm of torque.
