Academy Award winning director Martin Scorsese has announced he will produce Silver Ghost, a film that chronicles the lives of the names behind the formation of Rolls-Royce.

Silver Ghost will tell the story of motoring pioneer Lord John Douglas-Scott Montagu, his wife Cis and his secret love affair with his secretary and mistress, Eleanor Velasco Thornton.

The MINI Inspired by Goodwood is the most ambitious and luxurious special edition model the brand has ever launched.

To celebrate delivery of the first customer cars, a single example will be on display in prime position at Harrods through April 22.

Co-developed by the infamous Rolls-Royce design team, the car features luxurious amenities that would normally be seen in a Rolls-Royce.

Airbus is about to deliver a luxury double decker A380 to the Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal, the chairman of Kingdom Holding Company, a major investor in Citigroup.

Ordered in 2007, it will be the most expensive personal jet, with a final price well in excess of $500 million, including the cost of outfitting it with one-of-a kind amenities.

The facelifted Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II wasn’t the only new model launched by Rolls-Royce at this week’s Geneva Motor Show. Rolls-Royce also used the Swiss event to unveil a new two-tone color option for the Ghost.

Until now, Ghost customers could only customise their car’s paintwork by optioning the Silver Satin bonnet finish, which only continues up to the A-pillars and windscreen surround. The new option extends the contrast theme to roof, rear pillars and boot lid.

The particular car used at Geneva (pictured below) to preview the option was finished in Infinity Black, with a Cassiopeia Silver upper two-tone.

British manufacturer of super-luxury motor cars Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has unveiled the Phantom Series II at 2012 Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland.

The series II comprises Phantom Saloon, Phantom Drophead Coupe and Phantom Coupe featuring enhanced design, drivetrain and technology.

The Phantom II features “significant improvements in design, drive-train and technology,” Rolls-Royce says.

More than half of clients who specified a Rolls-Royce Ghost in 2011 turned to bespoke personalisation.

The service, which includes anything from the application of unique paint colours, coach lines and tread plates to whole vehicle designs featuring champagne sets, humidors and picnic cabinets, helped drive Rolls-Royce to record sales last year.

In total, 56% of Ghost and Ghost Extended Wheelbase models sold around the world featured bespoke design in 2011.
