Rolls-Royce Wraith Detailed in New Photos and Videos
Imposing to say the least, the Rolls-Royce Wraith is on display in a fresh batch of photos and videos released by the luxury manufacturer.
Powered by a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine with 624 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, the Wraith is the essentially a Ghost in coupe form. It is the brand’s most powerful model ever and is 0.3 seconds faster to 60 mph compared to the Ghost, which has 563 hp.
The Wraith also debuts the automaker’s Satellite Aided Transmission (SAT) technology, which uses GPS data to see beyond what the driver typically can. The system helps anticipate the driver’s next move based on location and driving style, aiding in selecting the appropriate gear for the terrain that’s up ahead.
The Wraith was first unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show before making its U.S. debut at the 2013 New York Auto Show. Rolls-Royce has yet to confirm pricing for North America.
