Rolls-Royce Wraith Teased Further

Rolls-Royce has rolled out another ghostly teaser of its upcoming Wraith coupe, this time offering a glimpse of its broad backside. 

The image follows a shadowy shot released in January, revealing the big car's sweeping profile, lightly flared arches and chrome-trimmed glasshouse. 

Bound for a global premiere at next month's Geneva Motor Show, the Ghost-based Wraith promises to be the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever produced.

Don't expect any specifics right now, however; the British ultra-luxury marque is keeping mum on exactly what we can expect under the bonnet, and how fast it will hammer. 

“We will present a model whose starting point is luxury, refinement and exclusivity, traits that have made Rolls-Royce the world’s pinnacle luxury good for the last 108 years," Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös said.

"This is a car not only defined by a timeless elegance, but one that encapsulates a sense of power, style and drama."

It is likely that power will come from an enhanced version of the 420kW 6.6 litre twin-turbo V12 that drives the Ghost, with reports pointing to a nearly 450kW output.

With that sort of power coupled with the familiar eight-speed automatic, the big Bentley Continental GT rival should ram its way to 100km/h in around 4.5 to 5.0 seconds.
