His name is Wraith and he has come to crush the luxury coupé segment. It is the most powerful and technological Rolls Royce ever.
Packed with power, style and loaded with drama, which Rolls Royce says makes the Wraith a car for curious, confident and daring drivers.
The Wraith presents itself with the boldest design ever used in a Rolls Royce. A sleek, athletic silhouette, this one exudes dynamism and power. Available with a combinable two-tone paintwork, another feature, personalization, is very desirable in models of this caliber.
There are 3 sets of 20” and 21” polished and bicolor wheels available, in addition to the well-known centers that never rotate. The front grille has been lowered 5mm to improve the engine's airflow, while the dual exhaust expels a dramatic roar.
The absence of the B-pillar redoubles the elegant and sporty appearance of this magnificent car. The Rolls Royce Wraith will undoubtedly have a presence, standing out from all other vehicles, a presence inherited from its family members.
The interior will be glamorous like all Rolls Royce and in particular the Ghost. To be inside is to be in a world apart, an interior lined with the highest quality leather, fine and delicate woods as well as “fluffy” rugs.
And with 4 magnificent armchairs where we can rest or enjoy a magnificent journey. The ceiling will be starred with more than 1,300 strands of fiber optics that create a luxurious atmosphere.
But it is performance that highlights the true spirit of this beauty, a turbocharged 6.6 liter V12 engine gives soul to this animal, while 624 horsepower delivers 800 Nm of torque. This is without a doubt a car suitable for both the red carpet and a day on the Nürburgring. And don't forget that even with 2360Kg it reaches 100Km/h in 4.6 seconds. Simply brutal.
The Rolls Royce Wraith debuts the most intelligent traction system, a system that tracks the road in order to select the best gear out of the 8 available. All this so that every curve and roundabout is done with minimal effort and always smooth, thanks to suspension and steering that suit the road and speed.
The on-board computerized system also allows you to surf the internet and write messages and emails using just your voice. If you are considering buying this work of art, it will be on sale at the end of 2013 for just over 240,000 euros before tax, a “bargain” these days.
