Wraith [Spy Shots] Rolls-Royce Wraith Winter Testing


The Rolls-Royce Wraith is a full-size ultra-luxury car/grand tourer manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and based on the chassis of the Rolls-Royce Ghost sedan which is also shared with the Rolls-Royce Dawn convertible. The Wraith shares its nameplate with the 1938 model by the original Rolls-Royce company. The body style is a two-door pillar-less coupe with suicide doors, where all side windows can roll down like in a convertible. This body style was popular in American cars during the 1950s and 1960s, and was known as the hardtop body style, not used by Rolls-Royce since 1955.

Earlier named Rolls Royce Ghost Coupe and even Corniche we now know the real name of the upcoming new Coupe; meet the Rolls Royce Wraith.

The new Wraith will be the sportiest and best handling Rolls Royce ever, and these photos show the prototype during cold weather testing near the Arctic Circle. According to Rolls Royce insiders the coupe will be the fastest production Rolls Royce to wear the Spirit of Ectasy ornament. The Wraith has been testing on the Nürburgring as well to make sure that the handling is excellent for this kind of car.

We could expect a turbo charged V12 delivering as much as 600 horsepower powering the rear wheels via a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission.

Debut is confirmed to Geneva in March 2013.
