...People assume that a Rolls is a bit of a wafter, so they like to try to take you on at the lights. Someone in a GTi tried, and their rapidly receding face was a picture. The Ghost does 0-100km/h in about 4.9 seconds. This is as fast as, say, An Aston Martin V8 Vantage. GTis don’t feature. To be quicker than this, especially at Joburg altitude, you’re going to need a 911 Turbo. And it is just monstrously good fun, driving about the place in an enormous Rolls-Royce at speeds that seem impossible. You’d grin your way to work in this thing. There’s this brief pause, and, with a weird sort of rumbling noise, you’re punched towards the horizon by a kind of dignified wrecking ball in the spine...
