Determined to double the sales of Rolls Royce vehicles in the next few years, the high-end automaker is in the process of creating a new model set to launch in 2010. According to latest reports, the new model will have the name “Ghost” and several spy shots have revealed that it is patterned after the concept car 2009 Rolls-Royce EX200.

The Ghost bears the same modern RR lines but is relatively smaller compared to the existing Phantom. Most RR models reek of a formal feel; therefore, several elements were added to give it a vaguely sportier look.

The 2010 Ghost will rolls with a 6.6L V12 turbocharged engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It will have the power output of 500HP, making the Ghost more powerful compared to the Phantom that ranks above it.

The luxury car company has divulged that the Ghost will carry the latest in chassis engineering and cutting-edge air suspension system. It will also be relatively smaller in size compared to the Phantom.
Ironically, despite the impressive range of new technology that will come with the Ghost, the new model will still fall under the price range of Phantom and will bear the price in the league of its contemporary rivals like Bently, BMW, and Mercedes Benz. Pricing for the 2010 Rolls Royce should be between $200,000 and $300,000.

As far as production is concerned, Rolls Royce will use its factory in Goodwood, England to start manufacturing the Ghost during the later part of 2009.
