Rolls-Royce Wraith coupe revealed
The all-new Rolls-Royce Wraith coupe has been revealed in pictures, just in time for the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Based on the Ghost sedan, the Wraith shares much of its mechanicals with its larger sibling, with a few upgrades.
The Wraith, apparently the fastest Roller ever, is powered by a 624 hp V12 engine with 799 Nm of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic. The 0-100 kph run takes 4.6 seconds, and to keep you quick on twisty roads, the automatic transmission shifts gears using a new satellite-guided tech that works with GPS to pre-select the right gear for the road you’re driving on, as well as seeing what road is coming up ahead!
Other features include the “on-board valet” voice commands to input instructions and data into the navigation and infotainment systems, while a “Spirit of Ecstasy” rotary controller accepts inputs via a touchpad that offers pinch-to-zoom and character-drawing functionality. There’s also lots of leather and wood trim, as well as the unique Starlight fiber-optic headliner from the Phantom coupe, for that starry effect at night.
The Wraith has a starting price north of Dhs 1.1 million, and should reach the UAE long before anywhere else when first deliveries are made to customers in the final quarter of 2013.

Wondering Who would use back seats in such car?
And even both back passengers cannot share one door, both have to use their own side door, or hop over the center console.

A GPS enabled gear box? Innovative but scary! We’ll soon be heading to a law enforced driver-less future!

if it goes this way drivers in the future wont need to have a driving license because the car does everything…
