Imagine Rolling Up To The Country Club In This
The Rolls-Royce Ghost Golf Edition Pays Tribute to the Ancient Game
The Rolls-Royce Ghost Golf edition, which debuted at the Dubai Motor Show last month, pays homage to the ancient game with a host of golf-inspired features.
Leave it to Rolls-Royce to roll out a vehicle of such rarity and refinement. Custom-designed for a private collector by AGMC, the sole Rolls-Royce dealer in the Gulf States, the car took more than two years to build.
Its exterior paint job, a two-toned dark green-and-sand scheme, is meant to invoke a desert layout, while the interior picks up on the sporty theme with a pine green steering wheel, tartan-lined door pockets, and mahogany and persimmon wood veneers.
Other luxe accessories include lambswool floor mats, a starlight headliner and folding picnic tables for passengers in back. You get the point; no expense was spared.
In the automotive world, the word “unique” is frequently misused, but in this case, it applies. As of this writing, there’s only one Ghost Golf in existence, but Rolls-Royce is willing to build another, a company spokesperson said, provided you’re willing to pay for it.
It’ll only cost you around $400,000.

Fun Cars, But Maintanence Nightmares
Ten Cars On eBay That Will Make You Look Rich For Under $10,000
4. 2001 BMW 750iL
This BMW 750iL is for people who looked at the Mercedes S-Class and thought that the only thing missing from their luxury experience was the ability to do a 1g lateral skid. This car can’t exactly gets there, but it can get damn close with its staggered M-parallel wheels and its near optimal weight distribution. That V12 doesn’t hurt either.
8. 1991 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL
This Mercedes-Benz SL is one of the best expressions of the German brand’s attention to detail and dependability. This was the last of the “built like a tank” SLs and bore the trademark, super 90's German styling, but I’ll be damned if this isn’t one of the most stately and recognizable shapes in the automotive ether. The looks are just dated enough to be considered stylish by today’s hipster-chic, and the drivetrain will outlast your grandkids. What’s not to like?
10. 2003 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG
This Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG is the German automaker’s answer to a question no one asked. It’s a long wheelbase super-sedan with nearly 500 horsepower on tap from its supercharged, hand-built V8 engine. It has massaging seats, and it’s the price of a Civic.
Sure, servicing might cost a bit more than you’d get on an economy
car and you’ll spend more on fuel than several small countries, but a
lighter foot and internet search for common problems will solve those
problems in a jiffy. For the sheer luxury and performance, it’s nearly
impossible to beat.
