After months of seeing flashes of it in prototype form, along with spy shots, teaser images, and leaked videos, the Rolls-Royce Ghost -- the famed British brand's latest apparition -- is finally coming into focus in advance of its world debut at the 2009 Frankfurt auto show.
Also known as the so-called Baby Rolls, the Ghost, despite being roughly 16 inches shorter than the flagship Phantom, is no featherweight. At 5445 pounds, it is some 700 pounds heavier than the new V-12-powered BMW 760Li and yet just 0.2 second slower to 60 than the slimmer, lighter Bavarian. At 212.6 inches long, the Ghost is seven inches longer than the 7 Series and nearly two inches wider and taller.
