Something which weighs 5,200lbs (2360 kg) should never be considered sporty, not unless it's got a jet engine and delta wings. But somehow, this is clearly that. It's the new Rolls-Royce Wraith, the fastest and most powerful RR ever.
Now, we know these are trying times when money is tight, so not a lot of folks can afford to even fuel up a 6.6-liter V12 car or pay the taxes. So we thought we'd show you a little bit of what it's like to have one of these bad boys.
The Wraith is based on the Ghost but has a fastback coupe body. Powered by a 6.6-liter V12 engine with an output of 624 bhp and 590 pound-feet of torque, Rolls-Royce's new coupe can reach the 62 mph mark from a standing start in just 4.6 seconds.
The car officially debuted in March at the Geneva Motor Show, but has recently made its dynamic debut in front of the thousands gathered at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2013. This non-official video shot by Shmee150 shows track action and amazing flybys from the 2+ ton monster.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
