with 624 horsepower on the tap, describing the Rolls-Royce Wraith Luxury Sports Coupe as an elegant beast seems appropriate. unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show 2013, the immediate hint of the Wraith prowess can be seen from elegantly sloped fastback form. the said powered comes from a V12 unit that has 800 Nm to its name, and together with a 8-speed automatic ZF transmission, puts it century sprint at just 4.6 seconds. the transmission employed in the Wraith is no ordinary 8-speeder, it is has what Rolls dubbed as the Satellite Aided Transmission technology that uses GPS mapping data to ensure the correct gear is pre-selected for the road terrain ahead. on the inside, enhanced driver usability comes in a form of ‘on-board valet’ where voice commands let you execute task such as inputting navigation data in the vehicle’s navigation and infotainment system. however, tactile-lovers are not being forgotten as the Spirit of Ecstasy Rotary Controller still allows you to navigates through the on-screen functions via a touch pad that incidentally, also features the now-familiar punch-pull gestures. other features include head-up display, adaptive headlights, keyless opening boot, speed-sensitive steering and of course, a delightfully well-appointed interior for four complete with softest Phantom-grade leathers and expanses of wood known as Canadel Panelling, and a Starlight Headliner that has 1,340 fiber optic lamps hand-woven into the roof lining for the impression of a glittery, starry night sky. the €245,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith Luxury Sports Coupe’s first deliveries will be in the fourth quarter of 2013.
