Super luxury car maker Rolls-Royce on Monday launched the Wraith priced at Rs 4.60 crore (ex-showroom, New Delhi).

As the most luxurious four-seater coupe in its segment, the Wraith with 624 brake horsepower, is the most powerful Rolls-Royce motor car ever made, the company said.

First delivery

It has a twin-turbo V12 engine with 8-speed automatic ZF transmission that can achieve 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds.

The company will deliver the first Wraith (to one of the customers) by the year-end.

“Rolls-Royce has enjoyed a great and lengthy history in India, and we are happy to greet our customers here with this exceptional new model,” Herfried Hasenoehrl, General Manager for Emerging Markets-Asia, Rolls-Royce, told presspersons here.

Expand dealership

The company has seven different models available in India now between Ghost and Phantom series, he said.

Herfried Hasenoehrl added that the price range starts from Rs 3.60 crore to Rs 7.50 crore (all ex-showroom, New Delhi). Looking at the growth in sales for such customised vehicles, the company will also expand its dealerships network by adding one each in Ahmedabad (by end of this month) and Chandigarh (in October), he said.

Rolls-Royce has three showrooms one each in New Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad as of now.

The company sold 3,575 units globally last year and hopes to sell 3,800-3,900 units this year.
