Rolls Royce Ghost, the younger sibling of Rolls Royce Phantom, for some people Rolls Royce Ghost is the cheap alternative, people who cannot afford to buy a Rolls Royce Phantom. However, this is not the reality. When you approach to a Rolls Royce from that inferior good perspective, this means you ignored the characteristics of that car.
Recently, I saw a Rolls Royce Ghost in London. All the Rolls Royce Ghosts, I have ever seen was inside the showroom. And I didn’t have chance to see Rolls Royce Ghost in an urban area. On the other hand, Rolls Royce Phantom is a part of the London, you can spot in everywhere. And I found it very big, not very sporty and looks a like castle. Rolls Royce Phantom is never be my dream car. It was too serious and very bold.
I guess Rolls Royce noticed this and they introduced the Rolls Royce Ghost. This is the car, I really wish to own. When I saw the Rolls Royce Ghost, I realised one thing! You can drive this car by yourself. This is the main distinction between the Rolls Royce Phantom and Ghost. Also, Ghost does not have the sharp edges and looks way more sporty. The sharp edges of Rolls Royce Phantom make it very serious and reduce the sportiness. And this means, Rolls Royce knows how to separate their products without overlapping with each other.
Basically, if you are looking for a sporty looking Rolls Royce and want to drive it, go for Rolls Royce Ghost. If you wish to be driven all the time and look serious, go for Rolls Royce Phantom. But never confuse this cycle :)
Lastly, don’t stuck on that Rolls Royce Ghost is based on a BMW 7-Series! It is just a chassis and 7-Series is a very well engineered car!
