“There are 50 colours you can choose from and the floor mat is made from sheep hides and skin. The leather in one Phantom is made from hides of 12 adult bulls. Nine bulls are taken down to produce the leather in both the Wraith and Ghost. Rolls-Royce also does CSR with the meat, which they send to schools in some countries.

Also, the wood used in the car, called the veneer is from elm to oak clusters and cedar- over 50 types of veneer. After taking off the back of the wood to process the veneer, the remains are sent to school as well for their artwork. So, Rolls-Royce is actually involved in arts and annually they advice all dealerships to stage an art exhibition locally.”

He went to say that Nigerians own the highest number of Rolls-Royce in Africa, thereby making Nigeria an important market for Rolls-Royce.

Features of the Wraith, seen as the most powerful Rolls-Royce in history, include the ability to go from 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds, a powerful 6.6 litre, twin turbo-charged V12 engine, 624 bhp with 800 Nm of torque.

The Ghost is often referred to as the little brother because it is faster and easier to drive.

Also, it is said to have the same level of style and comfort as the Phantom but with little less prestige.

The Phantom is called the Rolls-Royce flagship because it has the most grandeur and style.

In your opinion, which is the best model?
