Published: Feb 18, 2013
Description: Rolls-Royce is preparing to launch the new Wraith, a Ghost-based coupe that promises to be its most powerful to date. But it won’t be its most powerful forever. At least not according to a new report...

I say go for it! Imagine the torque!
Will Will Feb 19, 2013
Yes, bmw is behind rolls royce. The rolls royce ghost shares some components with the top-of-the-range 7 series.
Thomas William Tuer-sipos Feb 19, 2013
Ahhh the rollsroyce phantom, truly the rolls Royce Royce of automobiles
Alex Renaud Feb 19, 2013
Is it BMW who is behind Rolls Royce?
Will Will Feb 19, 2013
@ rodrigo a rolls royce is a luxury car manufacturer to me, and a bugatti is a supercar manufacturer to me. Its just that rolls royce cars happen to be made fast, and bugattis just happen to be luxurious.
Harry Goyal Feb 18, 2013
What's Rolls Royce even thinking about! I don't think that "v16" would ever come out!
Jt Collier Feb 18, 2013
theres a 76 silver shadow for sale near me for 4800 if i had about 10 grand lying around to fix up the interior and any engine problems then i would jump on it
Ahmed Al Harthy Feb 18, 2013
Wraith ?
Julian Pilinci Feb 18, 2013
Mpgs would be the last thing to consider on such a car.
Zaire Wilkins Feb 18, 2013
Mpg about 10ft
Zaire Wilkins Feb 18, 2013
10.5 liter V24 sounds good too
Zaire Wilkins Feb 18, 2013
I wish caddy made the sixteen (1khp)car but i guess this will take its place
Daniel Eads Feb 18, 2013
Nobnard, actually it probably wouldn't make a sound.
Nodnarb Ydil Feb 18, 2013
Rolls has named their cars after supernatural entities for some time now. A V16 would be the shit though. Sound alone would be great
Pablo Herasme Feb 18, 2013
It went from a high end luxuary car to a luxuary car with an aircraft engine
Austin Lerner Feb 18, 2013
They are all halo vehicles!
Tim Preisinger Feb 18, 2013
Cian, yeah... I wish that would happen more often
Rodrigo Allen Feb 18, 2013
@Will Will - A long time ago.
Shelby Cassandra Feb 18, 2013
V16? Hell yes!
Cian Mac Gearailt Feb 18, 2013
Finally a car manufacturer upsizing engine rather then downsizing
Will Will Feb 18, 2013
And since when was bugatti an arch rival of rolls royce?
Dylan Bruder Feb 18, 2013
Sounds like a good idea
Johnny Matias Feb 18, 2013
@Harrison Holy sweet lord that's true and I almost died when I realized that
Harrison Armstrong Feb 18, 2013
I just realized the ghost, phantom, and now the wraith are all vehicles in Halo.
Jake Judges Feb 18, 2013
Now owned by Rowan Atkinson (I'm pretty sure)
Andrew McNeal Feb 19, 2013
This car isn't for going fast. It's for luxury and ride comfort.
Jackson Michael Feb 18, 2013
I don't think they do though
Miranda Nearlydriftingondreams Pavelle Feb 18, 2013
They better fix up the aerodynamics if they hope to go fast.
Adam Thomson Feb 18, 2013
V16 is a classy engine, so why not?
Description: Unfortunately it was ruled out from production, and the Phantom got a 6.75-liter V12 in its place. But with the smaller Ghost also using a V12, Rolls-Royce engineers are apparently eager to put the V1...

That's my Opinion n it would stop me from buying it plain n simple. It doesn't need the extra power but If there's a huge engine then I want big power whatever car it is. MY opinion.
Adam Reisdorf Feb 19, 2013
The power of a Rolls Royce shouldn't be measured and displayed as a number, it should simply be called "adequate".
Lou Guerrero Feb 18, 2013
700 is fine for the engine. It just needs to pull like a silky smooth freight train and make majestic noises in the process.
Samuel Breglia Feb 18, 2013
Just saying peak HP is not what they're going for in the V16.
Samuel Breglia Feb 18, 2013
Auto basics state more cylinders provides smoother idling generally. Granted track cars and sports cars are the exception, they're tuned for different purposes.
Pablo Herasme Feb 18, 2013
Obviously these people forgot that this is RR, they could make a V20 and no damns where given about horsepower
Ashton Summers Feb 18, 2013
Too much power and you'd warp the crankshaft over time. Sure its only 700hp, but it would be power and torque that comes in low, like 3000 rpm. Example, a 9.0 L flat six in a single engine airplane makes only 260-310hp, but at just over 2000 rpm.
Ryan Lopez Feb 18, 2013
Agreed and it's a rolls who gives a damn about power
Dylan Bruder Feb 18, 2013
Oh lord here we go with the whole peak hp smoothness power delivery discussion again
Johnny Matias Feb 18, 2013
A 9.0 liter V16? That should make 1,000hp just because.
Michael J Solimene Feb 18, 2013
Should made 800 horsepower at least
Jake Judges Feb 18, 2013
Maybe the wraith?
Jommel Marcella Feb 18, 2013
Invisible cars...
Max Müller Feb 18, 2013
Yeah...
Ryan Lopez Feb 18, 2013
Blank hmm
Jommel Marcella Feb 18, 2013
Meh...
Mike Carbaugh Feb 18, 2013
Looks Asian
Jackson Michael Feb 18, 2013
Oh shit...
Louis Valdivia Feb 18, 2013
They actually made one of these
Ryan Lopez Feb 18, 2013
Cares
Ryan Lopez Feb 18, 2013
It's a concept who care
Ryan Spencer Feb 18, 2013
Nope. Those headlights need to be changed.
Logan Delony Feb 18, 2013
Needs some touch ups but great overall shape
Jerrod Swenson Feb 18, 2013
The BMW z4 wants its side creases back
Zalmy Ny Feb 18, 2013
It right Hugo. Reminds me of an xj
Hugo Keller Feb 18, 2013
The back looks like a Jaguar
Jonathan Tjandra Feb 20, 2013
This thing is badass
Thomas Messina Feb 19, 2013
Is this the red skulls car? What is it?
Shawn Sullivan Feb 18, 2013
This picture is beautiful!
Nodnarb Ydil Feb 18, 2013
Yeah I think it was the Red Skull's. I thought his was based on a Mercedes though
Thomas Messina Feb 18, 2013
Was this the red skulls car? What is it?
