The two newest luxury 4WD ‘Ghost’ sedans by Rolls-Royce have rolled into town

With stars on the roof, chilled champagne in the back and a brolly hidden inside the door, the new Rolls-Royce is a luxurious ride.

Tested: New Porsche 718 Cayman GTS

It has stars on the roof, chilled champagne in the back and an umbrella hidden inside the door for those unsuspecting rainy days.

The new Rolls Royce Ghost and Ghost Extended cars have every bell and whistle you could dream about under the stars, literally.

The top end luxury vehicle costs a minimum of $628,000 and one Brisbane businessman has already snapped it up.

Among the first in the Asia Pacific market to see the unveiling of the new sedan was Brisbane, with the Ghost Extended launch this morning.

The car’s standard option starts from $628,000, with delivery to Queensland expected in the first quarter of 2021. Picture: Mark Cranitch.

The four-wheel drive also has four-wheel steering, with Ghost Extended offering more space than the Ghost for rear leg room “than any other four-seat sedan”.

But the lucky local has to wait a little longer to receive his new ride, expected to be delivered in April 2021.

Rolls-Royce Chief Executive Officer Torsten Müller-Ötvös said the new vehicle is a result of global customer desires.

“Many of (our customers) asked the marque to create a motor car that provides the indulgence of enhanced rear space with no compromise to driving dynamics ... both business and lifestyle requirements,” he said.

The car has not just been designed for the driver’s needs, bringing those in the back seat to a new level.

For the passengers, a reclining Serenity Seat and a Champagne fridge with two cooling modes, chilling either at six or 11 degrees for beverages in the back.

The car even has slots for champagne glasses. Picture: Mark Cranitch.
