Let’s accept, be it any Rolls Royce across the world, the pleasure lies in being driven around and not driving it. So when the latest beauty — the Ghost — from the RR stable was offered for a drive, we were apprehensive. Precisely after 4.9 seconds — that’s what it takes to touch 100 km/hour — we wanted to drive it to England.

Effortlessly easy to manoeuvre, the Ghost is an everyday-car for those who want a real luxurious ride home after work. Plush interiors, adjustable seats and steering, four separate temperature control system — this eight-speed automatic vehicle has everything to pamper the driver. Customised versions even come with back massager while on the go. It’s not a sports car, but the 6.6 L twin-turbo V12 563 bhp makes it no less than one. But at R2.5 crore, you can definitely demand that.
