Rolls-Royce Ghost
The Ghost is Rolls-Royce's entry-level model. Starting at more than $300,000, it shares several technical elements with the BMW 7 Series, but it asserts itself with a 563-horsepower, 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 that sends all those horses to the rear wheels by way of an eight-speed automatic that shifts gears according to the topography thanks to a GPS system. Every Ghost is unique and customizable right down to the stitching on its factory-standard umbrellas.
