We say ‘The driver’s Roller’ delivers on all fronts. Amazing piece of engineering.Performance The Ghost‘s 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 outputs 563bhp to give the luxury saloon insane performance, especially considering its size. Amazingly it remains refined at all times, complementing the car’s understated nature.Emissions 317g/km is poor, but about average for the sector. We assume the owner will be able to afford the Ghost’s 21mpg combined fuel economy.Driving The Ghost is hard to fault, especially in terms of handling. It drives like a dream, taking the best of BMW’s 7-series and tweaking appropriately. It’s as comfortable as a Roller should be.Feel The Ghost is phenomenally refined; if it’s not for the comfort and luxury, it’s for the smoothness and the almost-eerily-quiet rumble coming from the massive drivetrain.Space Predictably, the 5.4m-long Ghost saloon isn’t lacking in space, with enough rear room to really stretch your legs.Equipment Rolls-Royce will give you anything you want, even if it’s not on the options list, as long as you hold up your end of the bargain.Price The Ghost will be extremely expensive to buy and run, and it depreciates heavily.Quality The Ghost’s cabin is as opulent as a car can get, with painstaking attention to detail. The mechanics are very reliable too.Safety It’s unlikely it’ll ever be involved in a crash due to the BMW-sourced safety technology, but if it does the Ghost is fitted with all the standard ‘bags.Pros Badge, luxury/spacious cabin, road presence, safety technology, customisable.Cons Expensive.Alternatives Bentley Mulsanne, Maybach 57s.
