This latest teaser image, a number of which have been released by RR, shows the shape and lines of the swoopy new coupé as a fastback, with the unusual glass-backed form. A statement from Rolls summed up its visual intentions for the Ghost; "Inherent in the graceful line that sweeps from the top of the screen to the very rear edge is the promise of fast, yet effortless touring." The image is also said to be the last teaser before its official unveiling at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.
This statement, along with speculation and industry analysis suggests that the Ghost's natural rival will be the hugely Bentley Continental GT. In contrast to the Continental, and in particular the Continental GT Speed, however, Rolls-Royce have made it clear that their intention towards motoring is not performance, but comfort and refinement.
Bentley's recent forays into motorsport and sporting production models have gained it the somewhat dubious label of being the first choice of car for Premiership footballers. Nevertheless, Rolls-Royce and Bentley both remain unrivalled in the luxury car segment.
