Wheels of fortune

The Rolls-Royce Phantom

Why this is for you: For over a century, cars made by Rolls-Royce have been considered the epitome of motoring luxury. The Phantom is just the latest in a line of great cars, but even though BMW (which owns Rolls-Royce) has done a lot of the engineering work on this new car, it still exudes the British stiff upper lip from every angle.

But believe us when we say: this is the most beautiful stiff upper lip out there. With a price tag not shy of the Rs 3.5-crore mark, this is also massively expensive. But with so few on the road and delivery positions hard to come by, book yours now if you want an extravagantly luxurious way to travel.

Price: Rs 3.5 crore

Don’t forget to consider…

1. The Bentley Arnage RL

This is equally exclusive, equally luxurious and bathed in expensive leather. With a massive engine, this is slightly less expensive than the Roller at under Rs 3 crore.

2. The Range Rover

Luxury inside but it wears a ‘Drive me anywhere’ attitude outside, the ultimate SUV which works for around a crore.

3. Aston Martin DB9

You can’t technically get this car in India, but if there ever was a car that defined a ‘Grand Tourer’ this is it. And Daniel Craig will be driving one in the next Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. The price? Well, if you brought it to India, expect to pay over Rs 2 crore.
