New Rolls-Royce Ghost Alpine Trial Centenary Collection

All of which explains why Rolls Royce are delivering a new limited edition Ghost for China at the Shanghai Motor Show this weekend – the Rolls Royce Ghost Alpine Trial Centenary Collection – which takes inspiration for its titivation from the Silver Ghosts that took part in the Austrian Alpine Trials in 1913. The Alpine Trial event in 1913 – just before the world changed forever – saw four Rolls Royce Silver ghosts drive for 1820 miles through almost impossible mountain terrain and establish Rolls Royce as the makers of the ‘Best car in the world’.

Toyota Prius+ gets a bit of a tweak for 2015

The Lexus NX 200t is a slightly less racy looking version of the LF-NX Turbo concept shown at Tokyo.
