This $300,000 four-door Rolls-Royce Ghost might be entry-level, but the anti-theft mechanism on its iconic Spirit of Ecstasy is next level.

Check it out in the video above – any pressure applied results in the Rolls-Royce Ghost retracting beneath the hood, replaced by a body-colored panel.

Standard on every modern Rolls-Royce model since 2004, it’s designed to prevent pedestrians from being impaled in the event of an impact.

With its hand-stitched and wood-panel interior, plush carpets, screens in the back, customary customizable umbrellas in the door jamb, and crystal champagne coupes – it’s sheer luxury on wheels.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost is the least entry-level entry level we can think of and optional extras that will jack your total way higher than the $300K mark.
