--File--A young Chinese man stands outside the Rolls-Royce showroom in Xintiandi in Shanghai, China, 27 July 2010. As soon as Rolls Royce boss Torsten Muller-Otvos finished unveiling the new Ghost with an extended wheel base on Tuesday -- the first time Rolls Royce has premiered a new model in Asia -- the stage was swamped. Using connections to enter the show on the media preview day, millionaires bought two Rolls Royce Phantoms, which start at nine million yuan ($1.3 million) and four of the new Ghosts, starting at 5.1 million yuan. The price tags included Chinas hefty 145 percent tax on imported luxury cars. Normally, this does not happen. Not on the first press day, Muller-Otvos said. Rolls Royce saw its China sales rise 600 percent last year and Muller-Otvos said he expects to see solid double-digit growth in 2011. China passed Britain last year as Rolls number two market after the United States.
