The brand Rolls Royce has always been associated with ultra-luxury
sedans and four door cars that service the extremely famous and wealthy. TV
personalities such as American rapper Jay-Z and talk show host and car enthusiast
Jay Leno have been known to own such cars. And even the royal family of
different countries in different times have used a Rolls Royce.
And most of the time, a Rolls Royce is a kind of car that
people would want to ridden as these cars are usually fitted with technology
and materials that make them very cozy and comfortable, unlike other more
spirited brands such as BMW and Porsche.
But now, it seems the British carmaker would like to branch
into a more driver-oriented segment with the Rolls Royce Wraith which was
unveiled in this year’s Geneva Autoshow. The Wraith is a rare specimen not only
in the carmakers lineup but also within its market segment – the ultra-luxury
performance sports cars. Its main proportions are highlighted by its pushed
back cabin, high waist line, arched roofline and tapered rear end.
The car come with a 624 bhp twin turbo V12 engine that is
capable of reaching 0-60 in just 4.4 seconds. It has a top speed of up to 250
km/h and 800Nm of torque.
In terms of interiors, the Wraith will not disappoint Rolls
Royce fans and previous owners. The cabin is lined with materials inspired by
luxury yachts and includes distinctive details such as a Starlight headliner
and of course plenty of high quality leather and wood.
But probably the most techy feature of the Wraith is its
satellite aided Transmission that uses GPS data to see beyond what the driver
sees. The system anticipates the driver’s next move based on location and
current driving style, selects the most appropriate gear for the terrain ahead.
The Rolls Royce Wraith will cost around 245,000 euros and
will most likely be just a dream for most motorist. But for those who can
afford it, this gorgeous tech on wheels along with its iconic Spirit of Ecstasy is enough to tell
anyone that you have arrived.
