India is a land of SUVs, however, there is a select crowd that loves to travel in sheer luxury, in limousines. Limousines may be a new concept in India for many, but the culture has always been there with the sheer number of Rolls-Royces and Bentleys that are owned by many — from business tycoons to celebrities. So here are the three most expensive limousines sold in India.
Most expensive limousines in India
Mercedes-Maybach S-Class
The third most expensive limousine on the list is the Maybach S-Class, a car that is quite possibly the definitive limousine globally. The Maybach S-Class is a more luxury-oriented car compared to the standard S-Class and carries a price tag of Rs Rs 2.83 crore–3.88 crore, depending on the variant and engine. Speaking of the engine, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class can be had with a V8 twin-turbo or a more powerful V-12 twin-turbo engine.
Rolls-Royce Ghost
The Ghost may be the entry-level offering from the luxury British brand, but carries a price tag of Rs 8.95 crore–10.52 crore ex-showroom. The Rolls-Royce Ghost can be had in standard form or as a long wheelbase version, both of which are powered by a 6.75-litre V-12 twin-turbo petrol engine in different states of tune. The engine comes mated to an eight-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
Rolls-Royce Phantom
The Phantom tops the list of India’s most expensive limousines, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom is also the most expensive vehicle sold in India, with a price tag between Rs 12.87 crore and Rs 15.07 crore. The Rolls-Royce Phantom offers sheer luxury in the form of thick carpets and leather seats with a massage function and more. Powering the fortress on wheels is the same engine that powers the Ghost, a 6.75-litre V-12 twin-turbo petrol engine.
