Priyanka Chopra Once Had a ‘Ghost’ in Her Garage: Here Is The Story Behind It

Priyanka Chopra Jonas may be a global superstar today, but did you know she was the first Indian female actor to own a Rolls Royce ‘Ghost’. Back in 2013, she bought herself a Rolls Royce Ghost, a black-and-silver beauty worth around Rs 4.5 crore at the time, which was not an ordinary purchase. A Glimpse of the ‘Ghost’The Rolls-Royce Ghost Series I that Priyanka Chopra owned was customised according to her and was finished in a striking black-and-silver dual-tone color scheme. But this car is much more than its paint, it is a masterpiece on wheels. Engine Power: Under the hood sits a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 petrol engine, producing around 562 bhp and 780 Nm of torque.Performance: Despite being a big luxury car, the Ghost can sprint from 0-100 km/h in under 5 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h. This sedan had a lavish, five-star interior experience alongside athletic driving dynamicsTransmission: It uses an 8-speed automatic gearbox, tuned to make seamless gear shifts.Drive: Rear-wheel drive, delivering smooth power and sharp handling efficiently. Comfort That Matches Power Step inside the Ghost, and you are in another world, which has plush leather seats, hand-crafted wood veneers, and mesmerizing cabins are standard. Rolls-Royce engineers worked hard to ensure that road noise, vibrations, and even the tiniest bumps almost disappear while driving. The Ghost also came with 20-inch alloy wheels, speed-sensitive steering, and advanced suspension systems that make the heavy sedan glide smoothly and effortlessly. Why It Stands OutWhat makes the RR Ghost so special is its balance, as it was designed for people who wanted exclusivity, comfort, and performance all compiled into one. That’s why it became one of the favorites among business leaders, celebrities, and luxury car enthusiasts around the world. Priyanka’s OwnershipPriyanka Chopra may have added some Bollywood glamour to the ‘Ghost’, but the car itself is the real star. After relocating to the US, she sold it in 2022, nearly after a decade of owning this beauty, to a Bengaluru-based businessman. So yes, Priyanka Chopra really did have a “Ghost” in her garage, the one that not only turned heads on the road but also made a little history in Bollywood’s auto books.
