Ghost [Official] Rolls-Royce Ghost (2021-)

[klier]

What a glorious looking car. If the Phantom is to be driven, this is the most luxurious driver's car. Just wow.

Unfortunately for the US they have to do with the side reflectors. As they seem to have done away away with the side lights now.

Something is just off here.

Let me guess, it's lacking a star on the hood and it's not an S class?

Because this here looks properly royal.

Nah that would be you guys hard core BMW guys liking Rolls because they're owed by BMW. Has nothing to do with Mercedes. This car is anything but royal to me. It looks a goofy mess from the side and the rest of the design is a complete yawn. Flying Spur easily for me in this market.

I'm not of the same opinion my friend. There ain't nothing goofy about these proportions:

Yeah the new one looks awful to me. Windshield base to the front wheels are not spaced right. Really goofy looking.

The old car is crisper and better proportioned IMO.

They look practically identical in proportions to me! Need a proper side-by-side photo comparison...

I'm looking Marcus, I'm looking!

The new one looks ways sleeker and more elegant than the old one when compared; the old one rather looks boxy.

 

[empower77]

The way the headlights kink Up makes it look so immature IMO. Not fitting of a Rolls-Royce (which should have an expressionless and arrogant face) IMO. I finally figured out why the rear end bothered me so much and it’s because the rear lights remind me of the W205 C-Class. The previous Series 1 and 2 models had a far more elegant look.

Ugh! You ruined it for me ... lol.That said the new Phantom and Ghost aren’t as brutish and as unapologetically brash and achingly beautiful as the last gen cars.

The first gen Ghost was better to look at

The previous one looks more "Silver Spur" (more sporty), the new one more Phantom (more sumptuous and mature), it is a rational evolution, I do not know if that is bad, it lost a certain aura but win in other ways

 

[J.E]

I'm curious to know what's that thing in @dalab 's avatar.

The first Ghost could be appreciated without any delay in acceptance. In a word it was perfect. It fitted the ethos of Rolls-Royce and even though it was the “entry” model. There was nothing to diminish its status.
The new Ghost is not love at first sight. But I am warming to it. Having now seen it,
it jumps out in the flesh more especially in profile.
My issue was with the rear more so. It felt more Bentley but it flows better when seen in person.

I also wonder what it will be
A crystal trophy I think, I liked the effect it gives

Both the Phantom and the Ghost have a very Bentley - esqe rear. A Mulsanne copy as modern classics go but also following the design ethos of Rolls of the past

Fine, I still am under the impression some here are quite vocal because of that other car, but what do I know....
