Rolls-Royce Ghost Coupé (fotos espia) - será o Corniche?
Just as the Phantom has its Coupe and Drophead convertible variants, the Rolls-Royce Ghost is expected to spawn its own two-door variants.

The legacy started with cars like the Camargue and Corniche, both of which were based on the Silver Shadow, which itself is an ancestor of the latest Ghost.

We now have a set of spy shots of what is clearly a prototype for a Ghost coupe, and with BMW filing a trademark for the Corniche name there have been suggestions that the new car could revive the classic nameplate.

Low-slung, sporty styling

Looking at the prototype, it’s hard to make out the shape of the roof as it is heavily disguised. However, we can clearly see that the Ghost coupe will be a very low-slung model. Engineers have attempted to make the prototype look as though it has more than one door on either side, but this latest model is expected to only have two doors in total. Multiple door handles attached to the body are also there to fool onlookers.

Power should come from the same twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V-12 engine found in the standard Ghost, with peak output coming in at 563 horsepower and 575 pound-feet of torque--enough to accelerate it from 0-60 mph in less than 5.0 seconds. The Ghost’s sporty four-corner air suspension and eight-speed automatic transmission should also remain.

Inside, expect Rolls-Royce’s typical attention to detail, including hand-stitched leather upholstery and trim made from select hardwoods and polished metal.

2014 debut for new Ghost coupe

Look out for the new Rolls-Royce Ghost coupe, which may or may not be called a Corniche, to land in showrooms sometime in 2014. Key rivals will include theBentley Continental GT and long-rumored Mercedes-Benz S Class Coupe. Pricing should hover around the $300,000 mark.

Stay tuned for updates as development progresses.

Sim, desde que eu me lembre, sempre teve.

Apenas comparei com o RX-8 pois sendo uma porta relativamente pequena, só funcionará num "coupé" se estiver aliada a uma ausência de pilar B, precisamente como a solução adoptada pelo RX-8. Julgo que até agora, as portas suicidas dos Rolls de produção, sempre tiveram pilar B.

A minha resposta era para o Fahrenheit, que dizia que agora era a vez da RR [;)]
 
Oficial:Rolls Royce Wraith Ghost Coupe vai ser apresentado em Genebra

Rolls Royce has announced the introduction of a new model at Geneva Motor Show in March.

Aside from preparing special editions, RR is working on a Wraith revival which will be the most powerful model the company has ever made. Essentially a Ghost Coupe, we should "expect the boldest design" and "the most dramatic performance".

Under the hood it will probably get the same V12 6.6-liter twin-turbo engine producing about 608 HP (447 kW), slightly more than in the sedan where it churns 570 HP (420 kW). The luxurious high-performance coupe will be able to do the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in less than 4.7 seconds.

Its wheelbase will be approximately 180mm shorter than the sedan's 3295mm, while the overall length will be of around 5200mm. The Rolls Royce Wraith is expected to tip the scales at about 2,300 kg (5,070 lbs).

More teasers will be released on February 12, 19 and 26 to create a buzz.

É uma jogada corajosa para uma marca como a Rolls Royce extender a gama para um modelo coupé mas com uma dinâmica muito mais apurada que a do Phantom Coupé. A potência que se se confirmar mesmo ser de cerca de 600cv vai torná-lo um rival para o Bentley Continental GT Speed e o Mercedes CL65 AMG embora com um posicionamento mais exclusivo provavelmente 100 mil euros mais que os outros dois. Tendo em conta os excelentes produtores que tem sido feitos pela Rolls Royce ultimamente espera-se um carro com os maiores níveis de luxo e com um dinâmica mas também conforto de topo.
 
Deve ficar um carro bem bonito e com dinâmicas típicas da marca. Só tenho pena de não ter verbas para um dia ter um bicho desses.

Gostei do que vi até agora.
