The new Wraith gets its power from a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 engine that dishes out a massive 625PS and 800Nm of torque. It comes synced to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The advanced, state-of-the-art gearbox works with a GPS and predicts gear changes according to the traffic and road conditions ahead.

The coupe does the 0-100kmph run in just 4.6 seconds, and this from a vehicle which weighs nearly 2.4 tonnes. Like every other Royce car on sale, this one also has bespoke leather interiors, which can be configured according to the needs of the customer.

The doors are frameless units and have buttons at the base so that occupants don't have to reach out to shut the doors. The Wraith also rides on the same chassis as the Ghost and Rolls-Royce claims that it is the fastest ever car built by the Brit company.
