My Favorite Car


                                          


I'm so glad that I'm finally writing this post because the Phantom has to be my favorite car out there!  As the title already says, the Phantom is built by Rolls Royce and one with an even heftier price tag than the Ghost which I covered in the last post. Depending on which model you get, the price ranges between $402,000 and $472,000. There are four versions of the Phantom out there. There is the standard Phantom, the Phantom Extended Wheelbase, which has a longer chassis leading to more space. There is also the coupé version which has two doors and the Drophead Coupé which is the convertible version of the coupé with two doors instead of four as well. All these models are powered by a V12 engine.









The thing I love most about the Phantom is the sense of comfort you get while sitting in one. The only way I would know how to describe it, is that it's like sitting in your living room with all the comforts of your home available to you, just that it's a car :) Also the roof is incredible! Rolls Royce has this feature where the lining of the roof gets illuminated by tiny LEDs which look like stars at night!




While in the city one day with my friends we got the chance to see all three models: Wraith, Ghost, and the Phantom Drophead Coupé and the the standard Phantom. Here are some pictures of the Phantoms we saw and the one I sat in at the Car show in Geneva last year.

Rolls Royce Ghost

I haven't posted anything in quite some time, which I apologize for. I just have been very busy with the start of school and upcoming tests. Thankfully fall break starts Monday next week so I can definitely post some more :) 



On to the Ghost now! The Rolls Royce Ghost is the medium sized car of the Rolls Royce lineup, which currently includes the Phantom, the Wraith, and obviously the Ghost. If you want to see my post on the Wraith just click here: http://carsofgeneva.blogspot.ch/2014/09/the-open-window-on-rolls-royce-wraith.html. 

The Ghost is powered by a 6.6 liter V12 engine, but like most of the cars from Rolls Royce, the real beauty in my opinion, lies in the inside. There are two versions of the Ghost: the regular one and the extended wheelbase version, which offers you 17 centimeters more legroom. While attending the car show in Geneva earlier this year I also got the opportunity to sit in the Ghost and I have to say it's incredible! The attention to detail amazes me again and again every time I see a Rolls Royce, whether it be in the streets or at a car show. If you do choose to buy the latest Ghost, the 2014 model, it will set you back about $250,000 and that is the only base price. For that money you get a car which boasts some of the latest technology and looks amazing and best of all, gets you to your destination in style every time! Now wether you are willing to spend your hard earned bucks on it is up to you ;)
