There's a reason why Rolls-Royce->ke74 is rolling out all these special edition models in China->ke2090. The market is fast becoming the largest one for luxury->ke505 automakers and what better way to stake a significant chunk of it than to entice customers with vehicles no other country in the world will carry.

Sounds like a smart plan, right?

Rolls-Royce seems to think so, and that's why its been busy the past couple of months launching special-edition Ghost models, including its latest creation, the Ghost Cantor Glory Edition.

Recently introduced at Auto Guangzhou, the Ghost Cantor Glory Edition pays homage to Guangzhou with a number of design elements attributed to the south Chinese city, including drawing inspiration from the iconic Canton Tower, while also adding touches of Guangzhou, no more distinct than the addition of the city's Five Rams emblem in the coachline, veneer panels, headrests and dashboard.

A two-tone color scheme also points to the uniqueness of the Ghost Cantor Glory Edition with RR opting to use a Madeira Red for a glorious regal history and Cassiopeia Silver or Carrera White for the bright and modern present. The contrasting colors offer a touch of balance between the colors of the night sky with the metallic body of the aforementioned Canton Tower.

The finer details, including customer options to give this special-edition ride more distinct styling, can be accomplished through its Bespoke Atelier program, which is coming to China for the first time, and offering a range of customization options for all those deep-pocketed Chinese buyers.

2013 Rolls-Royce Ghost

The Rolls-Royce Ghost's status as a model below the company's flagship model, the Phantom, doesn't do justice to the level of class and luxury the Ghost also possesses. It may not have the reverence attached to the Phantom, but the Ghost is still a pretty awesome luxury car with plenty of posh amenities and high-grade features attached to it.

The Ghost is powered by a 6.6-liter V-12 engine that produces 563 horsepower and 575 pound-feet of torque, good enough to hit 62 mph in just 4.7 seconds to go with a top speed of somewhere around 155 mph.
