Rolls Royce Wraith Coupe

At British Car Day in Boston yesterday the local Roller dealer had some new Rolls-Royce and Bentley models on display. The Wraith coupe in white really caught my eye:

624 hp @ 5,600 rpm; 590 ft lb of torque @ 1,500 rpm 0-60 in 4.5 seconds

From Road & Track:

"The idea of a “sporty” Rolls-Royce may seem borderline discrepant, but this new fast-backed grand tourer—the quickest and most potent Roller, ever—proves that it is not only possible, but downright enjoyable. Rolls-Royces have always been known for their Devonshire-creamy ride. Squeezing 62 more horses out of the locomotive twin-turbo V12 borrowed from the Ghost, with which the Wraith shares many of its basic underpinnings, churns us into clots, and never stops agitating. Not that we’d want it to. Helping put that power to the road is the world’s first satellite-aided transmission, an 8-speed that allegedly uses GPS data and the car’s nav system to predict when you might need to downshift. Which, in my opinion, is always."


If only I had signed that NBA contract, the approx $350,000 sticker price wouldn't sound so out of reach.

Nice. I could swap that.

For my house.....

Funny, Nial. I thought exactly the same thing. I wondered if there was enough room for us to live in it, although it did look pretty comfy. BTW, the average price for a year of fuel was listed at about $3,500 on the window sticker.
