Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has unveiled the most powerful and dynamic model Wraith at the Geneva Motor Show.
The 624 horsepower Wraith has a V12 engine and 8-speed automatic ZF transmission. The car can achieve the 0-60 mph sprint in 4.4 seconds, compared with 563 horsepower and 0-60 in 4.7 seconds for Ghost.
The ZF transmission comes with the Satellite Aided Transmission (SAT) technology that uses GPS data to see beyond what the driver sees; it anticipates his next move based on location and current driving style, then selects the most appropriate gear for the terrain ahead.
“The most powerful Rolls-Royce in history, Wraith promises the sense of adventure and speed that drove our founding forefather. But of course, Wraith’s starting point is luxury, refinement and quality, traits that remain as important to Rolls-Royce customers today as they were more than a century ago,” Rolls-Royce Motor Cars CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos said in a statement.
In Europe, Wraith will be priced at €245,000.
Deliveries are expected to start in the final quarter of 2013.
