Comparison Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini in terms of price, it starts with a fundamental difference in positioning: the first brand sells handcrafted luxury with individual assembly, the second - high-tech supercars with an emphasis on dynamics. Base price new Rolls-Royce Ghost (2026) starts from $382 000, whereas Lamborghini Revuelto - flagship hybrid supercar - will cost at least $608 000. However, these figures do not reflect the real cost of ownership: ordering exclusive finishes from Rolls-Royce can increase the price tag by 1.5–2 times, and service Lamborghini costs 3–5 times more than standard premium cars.

The key nuance is the target audience. Buyers Rolls-Royce they pay for uniqueness: 90% of cars are assembled to order with unlimited options (for example, gold inlay or a personal interior scent). Owners Lamborghini pay for innovations: carbon fiber monocoque, hybrid power units with a capacity of 1000+ hp. and active aerodynamics technology. Let's look at the details that make both brands value leaders in their segments.

Basic prices: the minimum bar to enter the club

Official price lists for 2026 show a gap in $226 000 between the most affordable brand models:

  • 🏷️ Rolls-Royce Ghost (sedan) - from $382 000: 6.75-liter V12 (563 hp), rear-wheel drive, hand-assembled in Goodwood (England).
  • 🏎️ Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica (coupe) - from $258 000: 5.2-liter V10 (631 hp), all-wheel drive, assembled in Sant'Agata (Italy).
  • 💎 Rolls-Royce Cullinan (SUV) - from $380 000: The brand's first SUV with "Magic Carpet Ride" adaptive suspension.
  • ⚡ Lamborghini Revuelto (hybrid supercar) - from $608 000: 6.5-liter V12 + 3 electric motors (1001 hp), acceleration to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds.

Important: prices are indicated for basic configurations excluding taxes, duties and options. In Russia and the CIS countries, the final cost may increase by 30–50% due to logistics and customs duties. For example, Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae (2023) in Moscow showrooms sold for ₽75–90 million with an official price of $500,000.

Top models: where the price tag exceeds a million

Exclusive versions of both brands overcome the psychological barrier in $1 million, but for different reasons. Rolls-Royce offers uniqueness: for example, Boat Tail (2021) was created in a single copy in $28 million with a gold tea set and silver cutlery. Lamborghini increases the price tag due to technologies: Sian FKP 37 (2020) became the first serial hybrid of the brand with a price $3.6 million (on the secondary market - up to $5 million).

Model Brand Year Price, $ Features
Boat Tail Rolls-Royce 2021 28 000 000 One of a kind, handmade (4 years of construction), yacht style stern
Sweptail Rolls-Royce 2017 13 000 000 Coupe with rear doors "a la coach", ordered by a collector
Revuelto (First Edition) Lamborghini 2023 1 100 000 Limited edition of 2500 pieces, carbon fiber wheels, titanium exhaust system
Centenario Lamborghini 2016 1 900 000 40 pieces produced. (20 coupes + 20 roadsters), 770 hp, acceleration up to 350 km/h

Critical factor: Rolls-Royce does not limit the client’s budget - we can implement any whim (for example, a hand-painted ceiling for $150,000). Lamborghini limits options by technical capabilities: even for $2 million you will not get an interior made of precious metals, but your supercar will accelerate faster than a Formula 1 car.

Hidden costs: what will cost more after purchase

Cost of ownership Lamborghini exceeds Rolls-Royce 2–3 times due to operational features:

  • 🔧 Service: Changing the oil in Aventador — $3 000–5 000 (every 10,000 km). U Ghost a similar procedure costs $1 200–1 800.
  • 🛡️ Insurance: CASCO policy for Huracán in Moscow - ₽800,000–1.2 million/year, for Cullinan — ₽500 000–700 000.
  • 🔋 Spare parts: Windshield for Revuelto — $12 000, for Phantom — $4 500. Turbine V12 (Lamborghini) — $25 000, climate control unit (Rolls-Royce) — $8 000.
  • ⛽ Fuel: Lamborghini consumes 20–25 l/100 km (98 gasoline), Rolls-Royce — 15–18 l/100 km (also 98th).
Why is Lamborghini insurance more expensive?

Insurance companies consider supercars high-risk due to:

- accident statistics (owners often speed);

- high cost of repairs (carbon fiber body requires specialized workshops);

- high theftability (especially Aventador and Huracán models).

Rolls-Royce, despite its cost, is cheaper to insure: owners are usually older, drive more carefully, and cars are less likely to be the target of theft.

⚠️ Attention: Warranty for Lamborghini Valid for 3 years/unlimited mileage, but only covers manufacturing defects. Damage from aggressive driving (for example, overheating brakes on the track) will be charged separately. Rolls-Royce offers a 4-year warranty with an option to extend to 10 years for $50 000–70 000.

Secondary market: where is it cheaper to buy a used copy?

Prices for used models depend on mileage, service history and rarity of the version. Rolls-Royce loses value more slowly: Phantom 2015 with a mileage of 30,000 km is sold for $200 000–250 000 (40–50% of the original price). Lamborghini gets cheaper faster: Aventador LP 700-4 (2012) leaves for $180 000–220 000 (25-30% of initial $500,000).

Model (year) Mileage, km Used price, $ Percentage of new price
Rolls-Royce Wraith (2018) 25 000 180 000–210 000 55–65%
Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 (2016) 18 000 150 000–170 000 40–45%
Rolls-Royce Cullinan (2020) 15 000 280 000–320 000 75–85%
Lamborghini Aventador S (2018) 12 000 250 000–280 000 50–55%

⚠️ Attention: When buying used Lamborghini be sure to check:

- history of track races (engine overheating reduces service life);

- the condition of the carbon fiber body (repairs after an accident can cost as much as half the car);

- originality of spare parts (counterfeit brake discs or turbines lead to accidents).

U Rolls-Royce critical check electronics: system malfunctions Spirit of Ecstasy (adaptive headlights) or multimedia complex Starlight Headliner (starry sky) cost $20 000–40 000.

Exclusive options: where money goes to “invisible” luxury

Rolls-Royce offers options that are not visible at first glance, but amount to **40% of the final price:

  • 🎨 "Coachbuild": complete redesign of the body (e.g. longer wheelbase for Phantom) - from $500 000.
  • 💎 "Starlight Headliner": ceiling with 1,600 LEDs simulating a starry sky - $15 000–25 000.
  • 🍾 "Champagne Chest": built-in refrigerator for champagne with crystal glasses - $12 000.
  • 🎻 "Bespoke Audio": audio system with 18 speakers and a subwoofer in the trunk - $8 000.

U Lamborghini Options focus on performance and design:

  • 🏁 "Track Package": ceramic brakes, sports suspension, 4-point seat belts - $50 000–70 000.
  • 🎨 "Ad Personam": custom color (e.g. matt green Verde Mantis) — $30 000–60 000.
  • 🔥 "Exhaust Upgrade": titanium exhaust system with adjustable sound - $25 000.
  • 💺 "Carbon Fiber Interior": interior entirely made of carbon fiber - $40 000.

When ordering Rolls-Royce ask about "packages" (eg Black Badge includes black trim and sporty accents for a fixed price). U Lamborghini It’s more profitable to buy cars with already installed options on the secondary market - some owners sell cars with a set for $20 000–30 000, which would cost new $100 000+.-->

Depreciation and investment potential

Lamborghini classic models (for example, Countach or Diablo) increases in price by 10–15% annually, while modern supercars are losing 30–40% for 3 years. Rolls-Royce behaves more stable: rare specimens (for example, Silver Ghost 1920s) are sold at auctions for $5–10 million, but production models of the 2010s are falling in price by 5–10% per year.

Investment recommendations:

  • 📈 For growth: Lamborghini Miura (1966–1973) - prices increased from $500 000 up to $3–5 million in 10 years.
  • 💰 For stability: Rolls-Royce Phantom VI (1968–1990) - rare examples with history (for example, those that belonged to Queen Elizabeth) sell for $1–2 million.
  • ⚠️ Risky: Modern hybrids (Revuelto, SF90 Stradale) - technologies quickly become outdated, demand is unpredictable.

Rolls-Royce is more expensive to buy (if you take into account options), but cheaper to maintain. Lamborghini requires a large investment after purchase, but some models can become a profitable investment after 10-20 years.-->

In Russia and the EAEU countries, both brands are subject to increased fees:

  • 📄 Disposal fee: ₽2.5 million for Lamborghini (category "sports cars"), ₽1.8 million for Rolls-Royce.
  • 💸 Customs Duty: 48% of the cost for cars older than 3 years, 54% for new ones (for Lamborghini the exemption is often applied as for “unique vehicles”).
  • 🚨 Limitations: In Moscow and St. Petersburg Lamborghini with engine >400 hp you cannot park in the center (fine ₽5 000). Rolls-Royce has no such restrictions.

⚠️ Attention: Upon import Lamborghini from the USA check environmental compliance Euro-5/Euro-6. Cars before 2016 may not pass customs clearance without modifications (catalyst replacement, ECU firmware), which will cost $10 000–15 000.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about the cost of Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini

🔹 Why is the Rolls-Royce Ghost cheaper than the Lamborghini Revuelto if it is a more premium brand?

Rolls-Royce positioned as a manufacturer of luxury, not speed. Ghost is an “entrance ticket” to the world of the brand, while Revuelto - flagship hybrid supercar with advanced technologies. In addition, Lamborghini spends billions on developing hybrid systems and aerodynamics, which affects the price.

🔹 How much is the most expensive service per year for Lamborghini?

Owners Aventador SVJ spend up to $50,000–70,000 per year for service, including:

- replacement of brake discs and pads (every 15,000 km - $15 000);

🔹 Is it possible to order a Lamborghini with an interior like a Rolls-Royce?

Technically yes, but it will cost $200 000–300 000 above the base price. Lamborghini Ad Personam allows you to select materials (for example, leather Frau or Alcantara), but does not offer hand embroidery, custom scents or built-in bars. For a complete imitation of luxury Rolls-Royce You will have to contact a third-party studio, which will void the warranty.

🔹 Which car depreciates faster: Rolls-Royce Cullinan or Lamborghini Urus?

Lamborghini Urus loses 20–25% per year, Cullinan — 10–15%. Reasons:

- Urus produced in large quantities (20,000+ pieces per year), which reduces exclusivity.

- Cullinan remains a niche product (3,000–4,000 units per year) with high demand on the secondary market among businessmen and politicians.

In 5 years Urus 2026 will cost 40–50% from the original price, Cullinan — 60–70%.

🔹 Is it legal to drive a Lamborghini with tinting in Russia?

No. According to GOST 32565-2013, the light transmission of the windshield must be at least 70%, lateral - 75%. Lamborghini often equipped with factory tinting 30–35%, which is equivalent to a violation (fine ₽1 000, but a ban on operation is possible). Solution:

- use removable tint (for example, LLumar Air80);

- obtain permission from the traffic police (for VIPs or cars with a reservation).
