In a hilarious and borderline shocking incident, a Rolls Royce Phantom is on sale at the same price as a brand-new Toyota Fortuner. Rolls Royce is one of the most successful luxury carmakers in the world. It finds homes in the garages of top celebrities all across the globe. It focuses on the utmost comfort and convenience of passengers along with top-notch materials inside the cabin. On the other hand, Fortuner is the most successful 7-seat off-roader in India. It is an aspirational SUV for many Indians.
Rolls Royce Phantom and Toyota Fortuner at Same Price
As per the information available online, this Phantom is on sale at a dealership in Los Angeles, California (USA). It is a 2006 model which has done 1,40,000 km on the odometer. The main reason for the hype is its asking price of $69,950, which is around Rs 58.50 lakh INR. We know that the on-road price of a Toyota Fortuner is also in this vicinity. It is quite bizarre to know that one of the best and most expensive opulent cars in the world is available at such an attractive point. What is even more astounding is that the owner spent a whopping $78,913 (approx. Rs 66 lakh INR) on its last service.
Specs
Rolls Royce Phantom comes with a potent 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine which produces a whopping 563 hp and torque of 900 Nm of peak power and torque. This engine pairs with a sporty 8-speed automatic transmission. This propels the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds. It offers an incredibly opulent and high-quality interior along with the latest tech and connectivity features. However, the 2006 model in question won’t be as ostentatious as the current gen model.
