Rolls-Royce Ghost
Is it a sin to say that the Ghost is Rolls-Royce’s most affordable model? And yet, it’s the case despite its astronomical price. As in every one of the English brand’s models, we’re coddled in the cockpit wrapped in leather and trimmed with wood and rare metals, while extended-wheelbase version allows for more rear-seat room while we’re chauffeured. On the other hand, the Ghost’s powerful V12 engine entices us to take the wheel ourselves.
