The most powerful Rolls-Royce ever built, the all-new Wraith, has finally made its global debut today at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Producing 624 horsepower (vs. 563 for the Ghost), it reaches 100 km/h in a mere 4.6 seconds.

The Rolls-Royce Wraith inaugurates the Satellite Aided Transmission (SAT) technology, which takes the powertrain to a new level of effortless delivery. It uses GPS data to anticipate the driver's next move based on location and current driving style, then selects the most appropriate gear for the terrain ahead.

Inside the supremely luxurious cabin of the Rolls-Royce Wraith, premium leather trim and Canadel wood panelling live up to the brand's ultra-high-quality standards for refinement. The interior ambiance is complemented by the Starlight Headliner, a bespoke feature available beyond the Phantom family of cars for the first time. A total of 1,340 fibre optic lamps are hand-woven into the roof lining to give the impression of a glittering, starry night sky.

The Rolls-Royce Wraith will go on sale in Europe by the end of this year at a starting price of €245,000 (approx. $328,000). Details for other markets will be announced later.
