Watch: Flooded roads halt Rolls-Royce Ghost in Delhi as hatchbacks move past, video viral

With the arrival of the monsoon, motorists have found relief from the heatwaves. However, this season also presents new challenges, such as flooded roads. While people often rely on their cars to navigate various conditions, owning a super luxury car requires extra caution. It’s crucial to avoid exposing such high-end vehicles to adverse situations that could lead to expensive repairs.In a similar incident that happened recently in the capital, a luxurious Rolls-Royce Ghost was stranded amidst flooded roads and a video of the incident has been going viral on social media.
The clip shows the black Rolls-Royce stuck motionless with its hazard lights flashing. In the same frame, smaller hatchbacks are seen passing the waterlogged road with relative ease. The video was shot by a person who was sitting inside a Maruti Suzuki car and has ignited a social media buzz, with some expressing amusement at the sight of an expensive car brought to a halt by common problems.

After quickly checking the vehicle’s details, we found out that its insurance expires in just four days. This might explain why the owner is hesitant to move the car further into the flooded area, to avoid causing any damage.

The vehicle here is the first-gen Rolls-Royce Ghost which was launched in India back in 2009 at a starting price of Rs 2.5 crore, ex-showroom. This model features a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 engine and an 8-speed automatic ZF gearbox. It delivers 563 bhp and 780 Nm of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and reach an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h.
