Rolls-Royce Phantom

The Phantom EWB is the extended wheelbase version of Rolls-Royce's flagship sedan, built for buyers who want to be driven rather than drive themselves. It runs a 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 producing around 563 bhp, paired with a smooth eight-speed automatic. The extra wheelbase adds meaningful rear legroom, making this a chauffeur-driven proposition. In Pakistani city traffic, fuel consumption will be heavy — expect single-digit figures — but that is not the buyer profile this car is aimed at.

In Pakistan, the Phantom EWB exists in very small numbers, concentrated in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad among high-net-worth buyers. Specialist mechanics familiar with the platform are rare, and parts are imported, making servicing expensive and time-consuming. Resale is limited to a narrow pool of buyers, so liquidity is low compared to mainstream vehicles. These are not practical concerns for the target owner, but worth noting for anyone treating this as an asset.

The EWB's main strength is its near-silent cabin, ride quality, and rear-seat space — genuinely hard to match. The honest limitation is total cost of ownership in Pakistan: parts, servicing, and import duties make running costs very high. This suits a buyer for whom a vehicle is a statement of position rather than a daily transport solution.
