This is the new Extended Wheelbase Ghost that sounds like to me much more mysterious than the Phantom...but at the same time like the Aston Mamrtin V8's it keeps it's original 'period features' as al the 'Kirstie-Allsopps' show's on TV say these days.
This is a good thing I think as it looks modern and swidh enough to appeal to those who love Rolls-Royce cars as for me when I think about a Rolls I always think luxurable comfort...big and swish looking on the outside with it being big and comfy on the inside.
But as always you just know that whoever is driving these either has lots of money, or just thinks they have and thinks they are Lord Allen Suger in the Aprrentice.
And this is true when the trunk space is enormous says Top Gear, with now brace yourselves Rolls-Royce lovers or anyone who wants to buy this new modern looking car...there are packages or add ons if you like to make you want to act like Big in 'Sex and the City' and never leave the car again to go outside...these are:
- the £1,224 wi-fi hotspot
- £3,867 electronically adjustable seats
- £4,030 full DVD kit
- £1.846 two picnic tables
To me this sounds the most stupidest things to be options on a car, because this car sounds like it would be better if you kept it parked in the front of your drive at home took everything you need to work out of your office and just sit in this as I'm sure along with these adjustable seats there is air con so and there is if you get the DVD option easy ways to get destracted and it's a car so you could if you wanted take your office out and pop on over to the nearest McDonalds and use the picnic table to get work done but also get a bit of lunch.
Then you have the best of both worlds...but on second thoughts the car might get trashed while being parked...if only there was an option like Bonds on the BMW in 'Tomorrow Never Dies' where there is a security setting inside the car that secures it from any attacks from a sledgehammer from guns etc...well you never know what your going to get these days down at the local McDonalds.
And as Top Gear has said in their review of the cars drive perforance, that:
"You don't so much drive the Ghost as waft pleasantly along, isolated from the world by the air suspension."
So this will be good for all the people who want to pretend that they are Lord Allen Sugar, but on second thoughts when your in a Rolls-Royce you don't really want to be driving around at full pase like a boy racer, you just want to be gentle with one of these.
And, this might come in handy for people as Top Gear say that:
"The system is so sensitive that it can tell if someone in the back moves from one side of the car to the other, and will adjust istself accordingly".
Nice!
But this will set you back £25,000 more than the standard Rolls-Royce...so deep pockets are requored here.
