Will the Ghost do the business for Rolls? Time - and, no doubt, global financial conditions - will tell. Here's hoping. It may not be small or affordable, but it's a magnificent, massively fast, defiantly luxurious thing and we love it. Oh, and Rolls has hinted that a coupe and convertible version could follow, too...
For the full story, make sure you pick up a copy of Top Gear Australia magazine.

The Ghost shares around 20 per cent of its underpinnings - mainly electronic - with the 7-Series, but the touchpoints are all pure Rolls. They're lovely. That sat nav screen is a massive 10.2-inch affair, disappearing behind a flush screen if you'd prefer to rely on the navigational abilities of your trusted man.

Rolls' trademark ‘suicide' rear doors remain, opening to reveal a predictably massive and opulent interior. Don't imagine that this is in any way a more budget cabin than the Phantom: plush carpets and a dazzling array of mod cons are here and force... and don't forget those umbrellas hidden in each front door panel.

The Ghost's styling is clearly heavily influenced by its big brother, the Phantom, but the overall vibe is softer and more accessible, with softer lines and a dose more modernity. It's a design that's all about understated subtlety - but if you want more glitz from your big-ass sedan, there's always the Bentley Mulsanne...

You get a lot of fastness for your cash, mind. The Ghost is powered by a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12, based on the unit in the BMW 760Li but bored out and revised for extra power and torque. 419kW of power and 778Nm, to be precise, of which 609Nm is available from idle. It'll see the Ghost to 100km/h in just 4.7 seconds. That's quick.

The Ghost - the 'smaller, more affordable' Rolls-Royce - has finally materialised. After literally several years of teasing concepts, Rolls has finally graced us with a look at its all-new production car, set to arrive next year in a swoosh of gloriously British opulence.
But, because we're lucky souls, Top Gear has already had a good look at the Ghost. For the full story, make sure you get your hands on the next Top Gear Australia magazine - but if you can't wait for that, click through our gallery for all the details on the awesome Ghost. -
In case you hadn't guessed yet, the smaller, more affordable Rolls-Royce is, in fact, neither. It measures 540cm from grille to rear bumper, 40cm less than a Phantom but more than two metres longer than your average family hatch. Kerbweight is around the 2.5-tonne mark.
And the cost? Ah, yes. The cost. Ghost prices will start at around 200,000, pounds that is... before extras. Small and affordable, you say? -
