It was back in 2009 when the first rumors of a Rolls-Royce Ghost Convertible emerged and, after quite some waiting for the good things to come, here we are, showing you the first spy photos of the elegant motor vehicle.
Since Rolls-Royce has released the Wraith subsequently, the vehicle you see here will be presented under the Wraith Drophead Coupe designation. Surrounded by perfectly trimmed grass, the Sir-like prototype immediately draws attention, as its sports a different roof line under all the heave camo.
This is quite a visual trick here, as the Wraith is anything but a mere coupe - it won’t be easy for the designers to match the prestige of the Wraith’s fastback designs, but we’re pretty sure the resulting canvas sculpture will be at least on the same level of elegance.
Of course, this means that not just the profile, but also the rear view will bring differences between the two. Alas, the overly faux exhaust tips of the Wraith are still in place.
And speaking of the Wraith comparo, we are expecting the Drophead Coupe to make more sense. You see, while the Ghost sedan left a superb impression on us, the Wraith didn’t quite live up to our expectations. For instance, the same body roll that was totally acceptable on the Ghost made the Wraith feel weird, especially when Rolls Royce market it like this - “Consider piloting Wraith in its natural environment, through the twisting roads of an Alpine pass for example.”
It definitely feels silly to drive to actually drive a Rolls like that, but we’d only wish the carmaker would learn a thing or two about body roll from Bentley.
Judging by the way in which the Wraith Drophead Coupe leans in the adjacent images, we’d say this matter will not change. Nonetheless, the open-air nature of the car inspired a completely different atmosphere, one that does not take you into the aforementioned issue’s area.
