China is the market for extended-wheelbase variants and Rolls-Royce has introduced the new Ghost Extended Wheelbase edition at Auto Shanghai today. The wheelbase of this stretched Ghost is 170 mm (6.7 inches) longer than on the standard model and good for twice as much knee room, says Rolls-Royce.

Hey! This is my first Rolls Royce Ghost video, and my first one in the wild (Monaco, of course)! I couldn’t have found a better one myself: pure white and with nice russian plates (filled with 8s). You can see it driving around and then a detailed walkaround of the 480000 euros jewel. I know you saw that LP640, but that’s for later hehe! Back to the RRR (Russian Rolls Royce) : the owner kept driving it around Monaco all the time, however I only managed to get that little glimpse of footage you see in the video, around the casino!
