Rolls-Royce Wraith: Billed as the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever made, the Rolls-Royce Wraith fastback is a supercar to see. The Wraith lives up to the words of Sir Henry Royce: "Take the best that exists and make it better."With its bold lines, tension in the panels and a rakish fastback rear window, the Wraith has a dynamic silhouette that enhances its powerful image. Underneath the muscular exterior is a twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 engine married to an eight-speed automatic transmission. With 624horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque available to the driver, the Wraith can sprint from 0-to-60 mph in 4.2-seconds, and has a governed 155mph top speed. The transmission is aided by satellite technology.Rear-hinged coach doors open to reveal a sumptuous interior complete with softest Phantom-grade leathers and expanses of wood. Named after the famous cove in the South of France where Sir Royce and his design and engineering teams spent their winters, the Canadel finish sweeps through the contemporary interior, cosseting four occupants in a space bathed in light and warmth. If you like, the optional Starlight headliner brings the night sky inside. The model on display at the 2017 Chicago Auto Show has a retail price of around $338,000, and for the record, it takes 450 hours to build and craft the Wraith.
