2013 Rolls Royce Ghost updates

Three years on from the launch of a Rolls Royce for owner drivers – the RR Ghost – Rolls Royce has made some updates for 2013.

Believe it or not, it’s three years since the Rolls Royce Ghost arrived at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show as a more ‘Sporty’ take on the RR ethos and aimed at owner-drivers; the sort of chap who’s outgrown big Mercedes and BMW but still likes to drive.

Three years on from launch, we’re still waiting for RR to deliver a Ghost Coupe (perhaps the Corniche?) and a Ghost DHC, so when we saw an email from Rolls Royce with 2013 updates we got quite excited. But it wasn’t worth the energy.

This isn’t about a Ghost Coupe or DHC, it’s about the changes RR has made to the Ghost for 2013 – and they’re nothing to get excited about.

As far as we can work out, you will an advanced audio amplifier with ‘Exciter’ speakers, natural grain leather, cross-banded veneers and a new alloy wheel option. Oh, and you can now kick your foot under the back bumper to open the boot. Just like you can on a Ford Kuga.

If you just can’t wait to get your hands on Rolls Royce’s 2013 version of the Ghost, worry not. Production is about to start.
