Rolls-Royce Wraith teased ahead of Geneva Motor Show | New Release - Car News Jan 2013

NEW RELEASE

Rolls-Royce has released a teaser image of its new Wraith, the firm's first new model in three years.

The new Rolls-Royce Wraith will go on display at the Geneva Motor Show on 5 March, and although Rolls has yet to release any official details of the new car, we can see from the photo that the Wraith will be a two-door version of the existing Ghost saloon.

Torsten Muller-Otvos, Rolls-Royce CEO, said in a press conference in London this morning: "Rolls-Royce Wraith will draw superlatives when it is unveiled in Geneva.

"Expect the boldest design, the most dramatic performance and the most powerful Rolls-Royce that has ever played host to the famous Spirit of Ecstasy figurine."

If the Wraith is set to be the most powerful Roller ever, expect a power output in excess of the 563bhp produced by the current most powerful Rolls, the Ghost. A 0-62mph time of less than 4.5 seconds also seems likely.

The new car also marks the first time the Wraith name has been used on a Rolls-Royce since 1938 and, in case you were wondering, it's an old Scottish word for ghost. It's also, when combined with the words Rolls and Royce, a bit of a mouthful. Try saying it quickly: Rolls-Royce Wraith. See what we mean?

Rolls-Royce will reveal additional info on the new car in the run-up to the Geneva Motor Show, with teaser images scheduled for release on the 12th, 19th and 26th February.
