- 2011 Rolls Royce Ghost Review featuring a standard-wheelbase Ghost with 50k miles. Rolls Royce has long been my dream car and I finally got the chance to review this 2011 Ghost that stickered for $350,000. See my Mercedes S550 Review here: • 2015 Mercedes S550 Rev...
This 2011 Rolls Royce Ghost is not the Black Badge edition, it simply has wheels from the Wraith. The car is extremely comfortable as you would expect and the 6.6l V12 powerplant is sensational. But this car is not as unbelievable as you might think and that is what I reveal in this review.
Special thanks to Ram and follow @srcaymans on Instagram because they made this review possible.

See my 2015 Mercedea S550 Review: czcams.com/video/z2_ucTl8QeQ/video.html
do you like this 2011 Rolls Royce Ghost more or the Mercedes Benz S550 from 2015 more?
Mentioned it in the review briefly but 2014 and up S class is superior
Thank you for this review. I'm still deciding between buying a house or the Rolls...after this review who's needs a house 😂!
Hahaha can't drive a house I suppose lol 😅
Just live in the rolls lmao 😂
@@Esper320 😂😂
top of the line review as always. i agree totally on cost 150,00 on the car itself the other 150,000 is jus the
cost of the name plate
My dream car too. In September 2021 I bought one, and my dream has become a reality, and it does not disappoint......
Massive congrats my friend that’s a huge accomplishment
Great review man. I got my love for them during my high school years as well. A guys landscaping I took care of had about 20 of theses. The real old school ones from the 30s and 50s . I would always stay over to help him learn and restore theses bad ass coaches.Being a hot Rod and muscle car guy. I took the upmost love and respect for them. They are the best built vehicles ever made. 🏁
The pinnacle of automotive perfection... nothing even comes close... excellent review!
Def watch til the end my friend!
I continue to appreciate your reviews. No fanboy nonsense from you. Very refreshing.
Thanks!
I think your take is spot on. I will mention this though: as an S class owner myself, I had the pleasure of checking one of these out a few weeks ago (it was slightly newer and had more options). When I sat in the thing, what struck me in comparison to my car is the quality of the craftsmanship and the materials. In my opinion, they are an another level versus my car. For example, the foam in the seats feels like memory foam in comparison to my car. The leather feels like a higher quality hide. Etc… Anyways, that’s what really had me buzzing about this car.
IMO I think it doesn’t get too much better than an S Class. Don’t get me wrong a RR is an amazing luxurious vehicle, hand built everything, amazing. But I think the S Class / Maybach may just be the best car in the world. It’s like the absolute perfect balance of luxury, quality, quietness, road presence, and technology. Did I mention the technology? Lol. I think 2015 to 2018 S Class was / is overall the best car ever made. 😬 I understand if you completely disagree. Just my take
Anyway is correct pronunciation. Not anyways
@@runningkirkwa2934who cares ? Unless you have something constructive to say , piss off …
@@xxxmachiavelli7726S class is superior to this Ghost , better in any way , especially when you count in the difference in price …
“Immediately become a dictatorship” 😂😂
😆
Love how you even tell it straight in this one!
Yes sir! Appreciate it like always
I like how honest he is, unlike some journalists who pretend like they understand quality.
I laughed when you said you can take “Instagram thot pics” with the interior seat logo 😂😂😂🙌🏾🙌🏾
😂😅 haha glad you enjoyed that my friend
I would never have the confidence to drive this car 😂 W222 with tinted windows all around for me. Its funny, when I was younger, I would have loved the attention but now that's I've matured a bit, I like to blend in a bit more.
I know I don't like the attention either but as kids that's all we wanted lol
Great review!
Hey bro I got a mini Rolls Royce my Lexus LS430 😂🤣
You certainly do yea Idk if you watched all the way through yes but an LS or S class is not far off from this car. These Bentleys and Rolls mainly have a lot of prestige
Exhaust Sports Auto Yupp just got finished watching bro and that’s definitely not unbelievable when it comes to prestige when we want to show off lol or just want the owners experience we buy things because of the name from clothes to cars the way of the world but it’s good to know we can still enjoy other cars like Lexus and Mercedes which u mentioned is not far off really respect as usual in the end of your video u stated is this car worth the amount no but it is worth a 100k pure honesty bro it’s always enjoyable hearing u speak the truth and also enjoying all those great cars u get to experience and drive 👍🏾👍🏾
Glad you appreciated that my friend you are also as real as they come stay bossed up bro
Exhaust Sports Auto and off topic bro just like to hear your opinion and comment how about I need front and rear brake pads and rotors the Lexus dealership told me when I went to get it diagnosed because my dash keeps flashing the red warning light and says underneath brake wear so Lexus quoted me $2,000 or more now first I thought to go back and get it done but then I thought no way that’s really highway robbery I always like to get my work done at the dealership it’s just that secure feeling knowing it’s done right and if it ain’t no problem getting it redone so I searched thru google and found a foreign car auto repair shop not far away and their going to do the whole job for $600.00 crazy right it’s after market brakes and rotors but hey I’ll deal with that for awhile not in a rush to pay that much lol smh
Exhaust Sports Auto Thanx bro like wise u are 👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Now you are a certified baller, having the privilege to drive such an epic whip for even a day! Well done
Appreciate it my friend all thanks to supporters like you!
gr8 review kevin.I always trust your revs,and after this-for the first time- i have to ask;can u make a vid with Bentley Continental GT 2019?I m really looking forward to hearing your personal opinion about that car.cheers.
Of course my friend and yes now I'm so curious to try out the new versions of these cars
What an honest review! I am debating between a new S class and a Rolls so this helps a ton. Thx
Of course you are
@@shahaan400 sarcasm?
Dope channel keep grinding it’s my dream car to 💯🔥
Thanks 💯
Another elite review of an elite car. Practical, honest and balanced. What Chris Moltisanti would be driving if he wasn't swimming with the fishes....
Haha I think Chris had a thing for the Bentley Genius had 😆
@@MeynMotorGroup I think he did, a review of that classic would be something
Yea I'll see what I can do always great to talk to a Sopranos enthusiast 😆
I have one and I love it. It actually relieves stress
Good review of the Ghost! I like how when you purchase one of these, you own a small country.
😆
Awesome video once again. 12:40 service was due on February lol the owner is too scared to take it 😂😂 imagine getting a warning light on this bad boy haha
Yea this is not a car you want to play with lol warranty or lease
Wow congratulations man!
Appreciate it my friend!
@@MeynMotorGroup i do.. If that the 2011,then how is the 2020
I watched this and got a Toyota Corolla ad.... 😂
Nice lol
Was a great experience working with you, lets review the Tesla Model Y next!
You're the best bro thanks again
You’re always so honest Kevin, it’s why I come back, I like direct people!👍
Appreciate that sir!
Great video I like your channel if u don’t remember me I am the guy that had 3 Ls 430s
But now I drive the monster 750li you were saying it’s a swap a lease area can u give more information on that thanks and keep up these great videos
Nice! I do remember someone with 3 LS430s lol
Swapalease is amazing for ultra high end cars. Don't get me wrong its still expensive and qualifying to take over the loan is just as hard as buying a new car especially of this caliber, they will ask for 2 year tax returns etc
But with something like a rolls the monthly lease you take over might be like $3k a month but you won't have to put down the monster down payment of like 10-40k with Swapalease so that's good and thats the main advantage go on their site and look at some cars
We need a 'Magic Carpet' Mashup: S550, LS600h, and Rolls-Royce
They would all be about equal lol
Looking at this now in 2022, it is instantly dated by the new Ghost. When Rolls-Royce designed the new Ghost, they made it a goal to eliminate as many body shut lines as they could, and they've done that. Now I look at this old model, I can't "unsee" those shutlines. They're there, front and centre. I think the new Ghost is absolutely superb inside and out, and if you get an opportunity to drive it, I'm wondering if that might change your opinion of the car.
For sure that new one should be on a whole different level
I miss the old floating cars AKA "sofas on wheels".The full size Buick Park Avenue from the 80's was my favorite.If they would have continued making them,they would have been an unbeatable bargain today and no need to get a Bentley or RR.
New Lexus ES and Mercedes S class are pretty amazing clouds!
I love the Rolls Royce, I love the V12, the looks, the materials everything 😃. But like, i feel that if an old Honda Accord and the amaxing S550 can have no creaks and stuff then the Ghost shouldn't either right? Either way I really enjoyed this video, and I always liled the suicide doors I hope more luxury vehicles adopt it
Yea exactly I love all the things you mentioned but the interior should be way more solid than this especially since the interior is a main selling point. Appreciate you watching my friend!
Congrats. You've outdone yourself!
I actually parked next to one yesterday in Newport Beach CA, exact same white Ghost. Wasn't too impressed with the exterior (maybe white is not the best colour) and the W222 S-Class still has better interior.
Unbeatable used car value though, like all luxury British cars.
Appreciate it my friend all thanks to supporters like you and yea W222 is amazing all these Luxury Barges are great used values with a warranty
All 4 buttons aka Driver Assistance 3 including night vision 😁 love to see that. Nice spec! Just wish the interior was actually bespoke colors not just no-charge monotone black
Yea but owners got a great deal on this ride haha 😄 but yea I would like a bespoke interior personally
I ended up buying a 1998 Lexus GS300 yesterday! If you still remember me from your last videos lol
I def do! Massive congrats my friend what an awesome purchase man I'm jealous loved those old Lexus cars
@@MeynMotorGroup Thank you! First car for me
Damn that's a heck of a first car well done
@@MeynMotorGroup Thank you! Also the outro at the end was nice
Wow congrats bro always wanted one of those especially after seeing it in the belly movie lol Method Man had one in that movie
Hoovie’s Garage said his Equus was more luxurious than his Rolls.
The President of S. Korea rides in an Equus/G90.
I bought my RR a few years ago and it’s now 2021. In my experience if you keep up with the service when you have to it maintains itself pretty well.
And I think the prices for parts or services are ok not to expensive since some of the parts are BMW.
But of course I would not buy the car if you can’t afford the maintenance.
Can I get your perspective on this I wanna consider a 2014 Wraith I’ve seen the prices at around $170k. I’m 26 years old I don’t plan on dailying it just once in a blue moon weekend/night car. Its more for motivation and to keep hidden in garage. I see prices are dropping I think by the time I can afford one in about a year or two they’ll drop around $150k would you consider I make the move in purchasing one?
@@nevergiveup6580 I bought my dad a 2016 wrath in 2020 before COVID 19 and I actually bought it for 200 000k since the mileage was low and it was a special commission. But in your case I see the wrath going down in the midd 150 000 it seems like most young people go for the wrath. And if you look in different perspective young drivers go more for sports cars like lambo but if you go for a 2016 or 2014 you would be looking at 150 000 in the future.
The prices might be different in the us I live in Europe and the tax in a cars here are crazy expensive.
I personally think you should look out on the market but keep a hand with the dealer and if you think the time is right go for it.
@@mohidsultan7175 thank you for the response ima wait it out until they drop around $150k. It’s a steal at that price considering msrp Just gotta factor yearly maintenance. But still getting into a Rolls-Royce for that price there’s gonna be a lot more young people buying them up I’ll assume.
@@nevergiveup6580 keep up the good work and try to live life to you own expectations not others. I often go by the quote “ you can be born in a poor family and it’s not your fault but if you die poor that’s your fault.
If you keep up grinding and hustling you can own not only a wrath but a ghost too like me😌
Remember nothing in life is cheap even if it’s free everything has a concept.
@@mohidsultan7175 that’s deep I appreciate that
I am sticking with my millionaire maker, 2013 Honda civic
Ive been debating on between upgrading to a 488 or slowing down and getting a wraith. From my understanding it's similar upkeep to a 7 series
Out of all the vehicles I tested, Ferrari truly is magical to drive and the vehicle I drove was the 488. Chassis was amazing but up to you my friend Wraith is pretty cool.
wowww 🔥🔥
Impressive for sure!
Nice, realistic review Kevin!
Of course my friend!
But does it drive like it's worth its MSRP? Or are you mainly paying for the status?
This first Generation Ghost I would say status this no where near feels like a 3-400k car should feel in my mind. Maybe Series 2 and the latest third Gen feels better. I would say a 2014-2020 S class feels superior to this
Let’s check it out!!!
I still really want to see probably the cheapest! Most unknown, rarer than a Ferrari 488 (maybe) luxury sedan, the Kia K900! c: pls
I just asked a dealership and they said no lol 😆
Freaking speechless.. that's all I got 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
This car is def jaw dropping to look at!
Tapped in 👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Yes sir first too!
Exhaust Sports Auto 👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Exhaust Sports Auto 😎👍🏾👍🏾
Another big step to the channel! Congrats! Not being a brand whore but I would prefer to be driven on a ls500 executive pack than in this, I just think that interior is unique and unmatchable
Appreciate that boss yea big milestone for the channel and yes I like the Lexus interior the most too lol
Your the boss until a phantom mansory edition pulls up. Lol
Probably never will unless you're in Cali or Dubai 😆
Its displacement is the size of an ocean lol
The motor is an endless tower of power crazy lol
Best of luck hopefully you become successful and purchase this car in a nice silver color
I dont think I want one anymore 😆 but I appreciate it my friend
Exhaust Sports Auto Lol I think u rather a S class bro lol if I had a choice I know that’s what I would get first 😂🤣
@@MeynMotorGroup you should try to get someone to let you review the 2009 Bentley Arnage I think you’ll like that car
Ooh I love the Arnage and I love the Brooklands too amazing coupe
Exhaust Sports Auto Yo bro check out my comments on the Lexus dealership when u get a chance would like to hear your opinion on it
I would take your 2020 LC 500 over any Rolls or Bentley anytime of the day. My dad was given (by the Board of Directors he worked for) a 1979 Rolls Royce and a 1991 Bentley Turbo R back in the day as a gift for all the money he generated as an engineer. Money pits. Luckily, my dad didn't drive those vehicles too much. He would have been happy with a Cadillac or Lincoln Continental or 7 series BMW. Thank you Kevin.
I want this car but they just changed the body style, hard to pay 150k and it looks old 😔 need to upgrade from the s560
I would keep the S560 I think it's a better car than this first gen Ghost, maybe try out a Series 2 Ghost although prices are up there
Is 51k miles alot for these cars? How long do they usually last? I feel like you should be able to get hundreds of thousands of miles out of it for that much money
51k is definitely more than usual, but not like abnormally high. You can get hundreds of thousands of miles out of any car, but you have to consider that repairs are going to be much more expensive than a normal car.
I may have missed it, but how much and what type of attention do you get driving this car?
Definitely a lot people were certainly looking
I like how you reviewed this car form a normal being and not like some pretentious white folk. I like how you said that you would not go in the hood in it and that this is where thots take pictures of the emblem, that shit was so funny. Amazing review man, it is also my favorite car and would buy it over any supercar all day, but a Lexus LS will do just fine for me.
Humbled my friend thank you very much for the kind words, just glad you appreciated the pragmatic approach! And yes the LS 460 is incredible it truly is all the luxury one needs
Nice video, try 22" wheels.
Engine is a BMW - (very) expensive to repair when the bugs stop cropping up.
I wanna hear the facts! Thanks exhaust sport auto! 3:40
Of course my friend!
100 racks ?? subscribed
nice car, but sorry Rolls, I think I’ll hang on to my Benz S550
The only glaring issue I see with this video is the failure to mention the Phantom, the older brother of this car which is undoubtedly built to an even higher standard and stands on bespoke RR architecture.
Never drove the Phantom cant speak on it Im more curious to try out new versions of the Ghost or Phantom
Damn thats a bad muthaphukka
It def is that lol 😆
If I ever won the 70 mill on the lotto max, I'd be tempted to get a new Ghost [AWD and a bit smaller than the Phantom but all the ride from what I hear].. However I'd be worried of having the car keyed by some financial incel [can't make that right], having it taken/carjacked which seems to be a thing in Toronto [can afford it but hate being a victim].
Also those things seem to be fine for highway miles and the burbs but anywhere with tight parking forget about it, even if the new ones park themselves it would be horror show trying to find a spot to fit it in and to navigate right streets and underground parking.
Other than that, if money is no object, and most out there say it's quieter and smoother than anything else, even if it's marginal [61Db vs 64] for a Rolls vs a Maybach for an Audi car horn. I mean I'd never pay real money for such a difference but if I had FU money...
Also seems an ES 350 is the way to go, I recall I think you saying it has everything the LS500 has except performance and length which I don't care about. It goes under the radar, and it's modest size. Perhaps a blacked out Bentley Continental. I am partial to coupes.
Facts facts rolls is definitely pimp for sure
@@MeynMotorGroup Actually I prefer the understated elegance of the Toyota Century which is pretty close to RR standards in ride and noise, but sadly only available in right hand drive and 15 years old here.That or the Ned Flanders level sexy of the Ferrari Roma. The RRs are imposing but they have this brutalist design to them that is imposing but again, no elegant or nice looking.
I saw a picture of either a Ghost or a Phantom done up in Purple, so RR is pimp friendly. Not gonna lie, a bit flash for my tastes, but it quite works in 70's purple caddy colour.
The interior seems underwhelming because of the spec. If it was bi-color it would look much better.
Thats a sexy car. I'd sell my right arm to have one 😂
Lolol nah keep that arm brodi and get an S class lol
@@MeynMotorGroup Can't go wrong with an S Class but, a cybernetic right arm would be dope 😂
😆 😆 big time terminator lol
This car was great until the W222 came out in 2014 getting a "comparable" Maybach for well over $150k less after everything is said and done.
Oh you're you can get a newer Maybach version of the W222 for like less than a 100k so cheaper even than this rolls that's crazy
@@MeynMotorGroup crazy value now that the MayBach is just a tarted up S-Class therefore severely decreasing running costs. The V12 and V8 are both pretty reliable and there's an extensive service network compared to Rolls. My local indy mechanic (for exotics) increases labor rates to $135 an hour for top tier luxury cars. The V12 Mercs slot slightly below it at $115.
Yea I personally wouldn't bother with Maybach regular S550 or S560 is amazing but for those that want the name, they can have it for not as much as they think and yes running cost is less than Rolls
Will you drive a phantom? The ghost is a peasent car by comparison.
Lolol i will see what I can do my friend
@@MeynMotorGroup also the mulsanne is crazy, I've seen them go for 135k on the used market.
Yes mulsanne is nice def one of the cars I want to check out
I’d take a Bentley instead any day of the week
I love this car but I would be scared to death if the check engine light or anything because the car was. $400,000.00 new but I know it’s a bargain because the car has 52,000 miles sign me up
Yup I would be terrified of this thing lol
Terrified of what? Its not too much worse to own and maintain than a 7series of this vintage. Which is still not cheap but not impossible to afford either. Just dont take it to the dealer.
I hope you have one and are enjoying it
WHAAAT better than a Lexus LS ?? you´re sure Kevin ?
Lol 😆
@@MeynMotorGroup sorry Kevin but you say, it´s the best Car of the World ? a Car from England ?
Oh man I'm sorry if you came to this channel expecting to see Lexus commercials this is def not the place your soul will be crushed.
Def subscribe to the Lexus official channel if you want Lexus commercials
@@MeynMotorGroup OK thanks Kevin, i watch Lexus Vid.´s by Kirk Kreifels on youtube.
That would be best
I guess if you have to ask you can’t afford to maintain and run this boat!? Or put it this way if you can afford you would just buy a new one...
Its an ego machine - so you can look down on everyone else - what a fine human characteristic - for the money I expected it to be near dead silent but its not, for the money I expected it to be - my uncles '74 Olds 98 Regency and my friends dads '74 Buick Electra 225 Limited were quieter and rode smoother - seriously
I would take the lc500 over a royce lol
Yea same the owner said he likes the LC interior more lol
Nice review, the car is amazing but I disagree with you on one key factor. You can drive the car in the hood, don't let the car be responsible for your personal fears. You're safer in the Ghost than you are a SRT Jeep Grand Cherokee. The hood understand you can't steal a RR Ghost and not stick out, stealing that car is like begging to get caught and requesting a room mate with free room and board in a 5x7 studio for 3 to 5yrs. For that purpose alone they wouldn't try to take you out the car, but all eyes will be on you where ever you go. If you don't like being the center of attention or the primary focus then don't get a RR.
I'll get one soon as I can afford a driver and a van with the required tools and spare parts following me wherever I go, including instant refills. Being seen at a common service station or within sight of a tow truck, I mean, really.
😆
So this car worth €100k but the price is €300k. Take it or leave it.
They went down in price significantly but I’m starting to realize they are similar compared to newer models
Once again, you wipe the floor with so called "journalists: who don't have the guts to say it as it is with sacred cows such as this.
I must admit, that interior doesn't look very impressive in the pictures. I see rough, grainy leather, featureless seats, poor fit in a couple of places and some very obvious mass market parts.
I can see why you weren't impressed.
Yea this was kind of a let down granted most journalists get to drive these cars brand new but even still this is nothing special especially for 300-400k new
Same price as ur lexus but a used one tho lmaoo
Yea was 350k crazy
Damn, still has that cheapo BMW key wtf.. that's a shame for something you touch every day, at least put leather on it.
Yea I know I was so freaking shocked by that
@ace it comes with 2 keys. The key that he showed you is a valet key.
S CLASS is a peasant .. lol my S600 is 100 times better then a over priced rolls/bmw 750
you can drive this to the hood just might leave in a shootout lmao
You look like a chauffeur of that car not the owner.
