# What Super-High-End Feature Do You Most Want To See in a Regular Car?

Sometimes you have champagne taste and a beer pocketbook, as my grandmother used to say. When it comes to cars, trucks, and SUVs that translates into a strong desire for features you might see in a [high-end vehicle](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/37467/the-710-hp-aznom-palladium-brings-back-body-on-frame-sedans-because-its-really-a-ram-1500>) that you want in your daily driver. [If you have an unlimited budget,](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/38440/the-most-expensive-production-cars-in-the-world-in-2021>) you can have pretty much anything you want. If you don’t, well, let’s dream for a minute.

For instance, [Rolls-Royce](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/36962/2021-rolls-royce-ghost-this-is-the-car-you-really-want-when-you-strike-it-rich>) launched the [Phantom](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/12933/2018-rolls-royce-phantom-revealed-a-450000-car-with-a-built-in-art-gallery>)

[Tempus Collection](<https://www.rolls-roycemotorcars.com/en_US/bespoke/collection-cars/phantom-tempus.html>) in February with a cool space-themed interior design set based on the pulsar star. Just in case you aren’t up to date on astronomy vocabulary, [*Popular Mechanics* says the pulsar a star that turns into a black hole or neutron star when it dies](<https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/deep-space/a32756156/pulsar-eats-other-star/>). Pulsars are extra-dense neutron stars that rotate at regular intervals, spinning and distributing light kind of like a lighthouse beam. As one of my colleagues said, I’m a complete sucker for space-themed things and you’ve got my attention, Rolls-Royce.

**Bentley**

Bentley’s interiors are also drool-worthy, like a bespoke Piano Kingfisher Veneer in a fetching turquoise. On the outside, Aston Martin issued a special-edition 007 version of the DBS Superleggera with Gloss Black diamond-turned Y-Spoke 21” wheels. And the DBX is available in a dizzying array of colors way beyond basic black, white, gray, and blue. One feature I loved from the Lexus LS is a back seat that reclines, complete with a leather footrest. Ahhh.

If I had three wishes, it would be a challenge to narrow it down, but at the top of my list are a high-performance powertrain, the same soft-close doors from a Rolls-Royce Ghost, a 21-speaker Lexicon audio system, and a paint job worthy of a Ferrari. I don't hate the idea of having silver-plated wine glasses and a chiller, either.

How about you?
