2)The promotional car was here for a week and was a LHD.

3) The Ghost is much more advanced than the Phantom in terms of Gadgets and technologies, much like the E66 7 series and the F02 7 Series.The BMW 7 Series F02 and the Ghost are technically identical.

4) The engine is a 6.6L V12 twin turbo plant borrowed and tweaked from the 6.0L BMW V12, the power is phenomenal!

5) 4 more Ghosts arriving in the coming week, 2 will be for Mumbai!

Thanks for clarifying Maverick. I always thought this was the Demo car that came down.

I thought VJ's car in Delhi was the first one delivered to Delhi and was much before Wednesday. He buys his cars through Navnit i believe.

Most impressive are the driver assistance features that provide a circle of safety around the car: night vision and active cruise control looking far down the road; a top view camera system using cameras front, rear, and side (photo above showing the camera view, left, and a sonar view, right) helpful for parking in tight spaces; peek-around-the-corner cameras that help when you're pulling out of space where vision is limited; lane departure warning (LDW); and front and rear parking sonar.You can have active massage seats, the audio system includes a hard disk to store music files, and the active rear suspension banks the car slightly during cornering much as a plane does.

Yes those features are there but i think you can even have them on the Phantom or are they exclusive only to the Ghost. If they are exclusive to the Ghost then i stand corrected. The Ghost is more advanced gadgetry wise then the Phantom.

Saw the Ghost last evening on Carter road, being followed by a police gypsy. No prizes for guess who owns it

Was black in color and look superb ! It might not have the size of the Phantom but certainly does have the presence.

its purplish in daylight, but looks black in the evenings..it shares space with the other beauties at the construction co's bandra east office.

I saw a black ghost on carter with chrome wheels and a gypsy following it not two tone though cant say if black or purple as it was dark. Looked ok, I preferred the delhi one with maroon/red and silver two tone she looked nice but I think a Phantom is the real macoy and not this 7 series derivative.

It was earlier mentioned that 2 ghosts are going to a bhpians garage in delhi ?

Maverick5490 · 17th March 2010, 09:45

Sorry my mistake.. there will be 2 Ghosts, so in all 1 Phantom, 1 DHC and 2 Ghosts.

Sudan_NFS · 17th March 2010, 14:48

does anyone have a pic of these cars in their garage,it will be a treat for the eyes.
I would notice rust in the Ghost disk ,so that Ghost much have been in shed for few weeks.
