Footnotes

"The Rolls-Royce Wraith is a car of considerable allure and significance. This, in our view, is certainly the most important new model that this blue-blooded British car maker has created since the modern Rolls-Royce Phantom in 2002." – Autocar.

Reviving a famous name from the company's glorious past, the all-new Rolls-Royce Wraith made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 2013. A sleek fastback coupé, the Wraith featured rear-hinged 'suicide' doors and retracting side windows in 'pillar-less style. Powering the Wraith was parent-company BMW's 6.6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine producing 591bhp and 664lb/ft of torque, which was transmitted to the rear wheels via a ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox. Capable of completing the 0-60mph dash in only 4.4 seconds, the 155mph Wraith was the fastest Rolls-Royce ever at the time of its introduction. To cater for every taste, the list of options available was extensive to say the least.
