EuroMotorcars Rolls-Royce in Washington, DC

We are pleased to inform you of new and exciting updates within the world of Rolls-Royce! It was announced by Rolls-Royce CEO, Tom Purves, at a press conference at the Shanghai motor show on April 20, 2009 that the new RR4 will now be named the Rolls-Royce Ghost. This new model series has remained only known as the mysterious RR4 up until now as Rolls-Royce sought a name to fit the heritage of this elegant brand.

The new car will be called the Rolls-Royce Ghost and production will begin at the company’s Goodwood manufacturing facility on the south coast of England later in 2009. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars CEO, Tom Purves, said, “We are delighted to formally announce the Rolls-Royce Ghost. It is one of the most revered names in the automotive industry, evoking images of adventure and technical innovation. The name reflects this new model’s breadth of abilities. The first cars to bear the Ghost name were known not only for impressive dependability and refinement but also great flair and style. This car will be the first in a new generation of models to carry this evocative name and will give us two pinnacle product lines – Phantom and Ghost.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost will be built on its own dedicated production line at Goodwood but will share paint, wood and leather workshops with the Phantom series of cars. Rolls-Royce has expanded all areas of its manufacturing facility over the last 18 months to prepare for the introduction of the Ghost model.

Ghost technical specification:
No. of doors/seats: 4/5
Vehicle length: 5399mm
Vehicle width 1948mm
Vehicle height: 1550mm
Wheelbase: 3295mm
Engine: new 6.6 litre turbocharged V12
Gearbox: 8-speed ZF
Power: Upwards of 500bhp (upwards of 373kW/507PS)

Going Green with Blue

For 2009, Mercedes-Benz has launched three new, exciting BlueTEC vehicles to rival and surpass any of the current hybrids in efficient luxury. The ML320 BlueTEC, R320 BlueTEC, and GL320 BlueTEC are here!

With the new BlueTEC clean diesels, it is possible to achieve up to 600 miles on one tank of diesel fuel! According to Margo Oge, Director of EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, "Clean diesel is a viable, efficient technology to help improve our air quality and energy security."

And in addition to being green and gas efficient, Daimler also achieved IRS tax-break status with these new models. This is a breakthrough in tax break history in establishing credits for diesel vehicles. Customers are now eligible for these tax breaks.

ML320 BlueTEC -- up to $900 tax credit*
R320 BlueTEC -- up to $1550 tax credit*
GL320 BlueTEC -- up to $1800 tax credit*

1st Anniversary Celebration

The smart center Germantown celebrated its 1st anniversary celebration on March 21st, 2009. Smart owners were invited to join us to learn more about personalizing their smart fortwo with new accessories and the introduction of a new navigation system. They were inspired by other owners and their creativity in personalizing their vehicles! Many of our owners have given their cars a very personal touch through great designs inside and outside of the vehicle.

The event went great with a barbecue, raffles and how-to sessions with our service technician. Our service clinic showed our customers all those important details you want to know about the vehicle even before you purchase it.

If you are interested in knowing more or being invited to our upcoming smart events, call us at 301-601-5576 or email us at sales@smartgermantown.com.
