Watch: Rolls-Royce Ghost stalls on flooded Delhi road. Internet reacts

A video of a luxury car stuck on a flooded road in Delhi has gone viral, leaving social media users both shocked and amused. The footage showed a black Rolls-Royce Ghost immobilised in the middle of a waterlogged street, hazard lights blinking, as other vehicles navigate the water with ease. The video was captured by a driver in a Maruti Suzuki vehicle.

The Instagram caption accompanying the video read, "No matter the price of the car, the whole point of having a car is to be able to drive it whenever you want. Sad to see a Rolls-Royce Ghost breaking down on waterlogged roads of Delhi. The sadder thing is how the infrastructure is in the capital of India."

The video sparked a mix of reactions from viewers, with some expressing disbelief at the car's performance while others were amused. One user quipped, "Rolls-Royce got Ghosted." Another questioned, "What's the rated water wading capacity for these luxury cars? When cheap cars have no issues with this water depth."

Another user commented, "That's what you get if you drive this kind of car in India during monsoon." Yet another added, "The problem with luxury cars is the brakes will lock when you get stuck in water; they won't release until a technician comes."

A fifth user remarked, "It's a shame the car couldn't cope with water while others pass by easily. I wonder what's the point of buying such an expensive car."

The price of the Rolls-Royce Ghost starts at Rs 6.95 crore, with the top model costing up to Rs 7.95 crore.

The incident comes amid heavy rainfall in Delhi-NCR since last week, which has caused significant traffic congestion and waterlogging in several areas. Commuters have been facing numerous challenges prompting a call for urgent improvements in the city's infrastructure.
