Rolls-Royce's new entry-level model moves to a new platform, but has evolutionary style with a pinch more sportiness added in. Who you gonna call?

The next-generation Rolls-Royce Ghost has been photographed on the back of a flat-bed truck, wedged between a pair of BMW X5 crossovers.

Compared to today's car, the new Ghost looks to have a more heavily raked boot lid for a slightly sportier look, although there's still no danger of it being branded as a "four-door coupe".

The new vehicle's sides and corners also look to more rounded than the current model. Although the lights are currently concealed by tape and camouflage, we'd expect their graphics to be updated and brought into line with the designs debuted on the new Phantom and Cullinan.

Like all Rolls-Royce sedans from the BMW era, the new Ghost has reverse-hinged rear doors for easier ingress and egress, as well as a thick pair of D-pillars for maximum privacy for rear seat passengers.
