Back in the early 2010s, the sight of a Rolls-Royce Ghost on Vietnamese roads would have turned many heads, with onlookers marveling at the owner’s wealth and extravagance. After all, it took a substantial amount of money, nearly 20 billion VND to be precise, to acquire this ultra-luxurious automobile.
Fast forward to 2024, and the sight of someone stepping out of a Rolls-Royce Ghost still exudes an air of opulence and exclusivity. However, the price tag on this luxury has become surprisingly more accessible. Specifically, one could become the proud owner of this world-class supercar for as little as 5 billion VND.
Take, for instance, the Rolls-Royce Ghost featured in this article. This 2010 model, one of the first of its kind to be imported into the country, is now up for sale after 14 years and over 51,000 km on the odometer. The asking price? Just a little over 5 billion VND, which is even a billion less than the going rate for used Porsche 911s.
So, the choice is yours: spend over 5 billion VND on a world-class supercar experience or stretch your budget a bit further for the thrill of a Porsche 911 992 speedster. Ultimately, it comes down to your passions, needs, and, of course, a well-connected garage if you’re considering a pre-owned Rolls-Royce Ghost these days.
While 14 years may have taken a toll on some components, including the suspension, requiring careful inspection and maintenance to avoid costly repairs, there’s no denying that these early models of the Rolls-Royce Ghost exude a timeless allure.
This particular Rolls-Royce Ghost boasts a stunning red paint job with chrome accents and silver-painted multi-spoke rims. The hood, which extends up to the window sills and down to the grille, features a unique copper-colored stripe. The car has also been fitted with LED headlights from the Series II model.
Despite its age, the interior of the car appears to be in immaculate condition, with the leather upholstery showing no signs of wear and tear. The entertainment system includes a central display and two rear-seat screens.
The latest iteration of the Rolls-Royce Ghost has already entered its second generation, with an estimated 20 units currently in Vietnam across three variants: standard, extended wheelbase, and Black Badge. The price range for these newer models starts at 33 billion VND and goes up to 41 billion VND.
Under the hood, the first-generation Rolls-Royce Ghost is equipped with a 6.6-liter V12 engine that delivers 562 horsepower and 780 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic ZF transmission. This setup enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 5 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km/h.
