Rolls-Royce has revealed that its new entry level vehicle, codenamed RR4, will be called the Ghost when it goes on sale in early 2010.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars CEO, Tom Purves, said: “This car will be the first in a new generation of models to carry this name and will give us two pinnacle product lines – Phantom and Ghost. “

The new Ghost will be built on its own dedicated production line at Goodwood but will share paint, wood and leather workshops with the Phantom series of cars.

Rolls-Royce has expanded all areas of its manufacturing facility over the last 18 months to prepare for the introduction of the Ghost model.
