    I'm going to be really, really sick. Can't Rolls ban people from doing this to their cars? Rolls seemed to be gaining back taste and restraint when compared against the Bentleys (footballer's heaven) and Maybachs (no style or taste) of this world.

     Shouldn't there be a law against this?

    I like it - I'd buy one if I had the money. Then I'd have it subtly resprayed in all-over midnight blue, I'd also rework the front end to look less bling (bring the radiator grille bars forward to be flush with the front of the car, replace the LED lights with deeper halogen units), and stick on the stock 18" wheels in typical alloy wheel silver. I'd have a total sleeper of a car.

    In this colour scheme, though? Not even a Premier League footballer would buy it. They'd take their Conti GTs to Mansory to get the same treatment instead. Wasn't Mansory behind that pink-and-black abortion of a Conti GT?

    Front wheel drive = wrong wheel drive

    So you want a normal roller with the engine upgrade... Exactly what i was thinking... That'll scare the *** out of many a S65 AMG driver!
    Slowly but surely, the Lancia Appia Cabriolet is taking shape...

    Gross. It really shows that many wealthy people have no taste. Tax the rich more, I say.

    Except for one thing - from that pic, the rear/side view looks like a Rover 75, which is a good thing.

    Dear God ...... words fail me.

    Better to remain quiet, and have people believe you may be an idiot, than open your mouth and confirm it .....

    How will it ever ride like a Rolls Royce on those wheels?  That aside, one has to ask oneself whether cars like this really have a place in the world we live in today.  Such extreme extravagence will be seen by many as vulgar.

    Jesus!   Do they really think the Ghost needs to be endowed with more performance?  And those wheels???

     

    My first thought when I read that the Ghost had a 0-60mph time of roughly 4.8 secs was "this car needs more pace"

     

    What price this car will be seen within the next hip hop video?

    A Rolls-Royce with sports exhausts.

    I bet Charles and Henry didn't see that one coming.
