THE world will stand still at this year’s ‘festival of
speed’ as the newest model in the leading super-luxury marque’s stable, Wraith,
dominates the famous Goodwood hill climb during the supercar run this week that
is held in the grounds of Goodwood House, West Sussex, England.
The most powerful and dynamic Rolls-Royce in history,
Wraith will be on familiar turf, with the home of Rolls-Royce within sight of
Goodwood House.
At the heart of Wraith lies hallmark Rolls-Royce
attributes of luxury, refinement and hand craftsmanship, but the new model,
from the world’s leading super-luxury marque, also presents a unique character
defined by power, style and drama.
The elegant fastback design hints at the dynamic prowess:
624 bhp/465kW, 800 Nm from 1,500 rpm: 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds (0 62 mph in 4.6
seconds).
The ultimate gentlemen’s gran turismo, Wraith can be seen
between hill climbs in the Supercar Paddock.
In addition, Rolls-Royce will have a significant presence
at this year’s festival of speed, including:
Centenary Alpine Trial ‘Works Team’.
Having successfully completed the 1800-mile Centenary
Alpine Trial two weeks ago, Rolls-Royce is delighted to present the ‘works
team’ that joined 47 ‘silver ghosts’ – many over 100 years old ¬– on this
historic and challenging event.
The original event led commentators to declare that
Rolls-Royce built the ‘best car in the world’.
In celebration, the original 1913 ‘Radley Car’ and the
new 2013 Alpine Trial Centenary Ghost will travel up the hill climb side by
side four times each day.
Moving Motor Show
Rolls-Royce is providing invited guests with the
opportunity to drive a brand new Rolls-Royce Phantom or Rolls-Royce Alpine
Trial Centenary Ghost around the Goodwood Estate during the Moving Motor Show
today.
A new Rolls-Royce Wraith will be on static display on the
Rolls Royce stand throughout the weekend.
Soapboxes
The return of the ‘soapbox challenge’, in celebration of
the twentieth anniversary of the festival of speed, would not be complete
without the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars team.
The Company’s two four-wheeled gravity racers, until
recently on display at the Home of Rolls-Royce, will be taking part on Saturday
and Sunday.
