The car will be smaller than the Phantom saloon and priced somewhere between €200,000 and €300,000 before tax.

The Ghost's characteristics were shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March in the 200EX

Power is transmitted through an eight-speed, shift-by-wire, automatic ZF gearbox.

Emissions are 317g/km of CO2 while fuel consumption is 13.6 L/100km.
