Felix Abraham Hernandez Garcia, best known as King Felix, seems to be enjoying the success he has been experiencing as a starting pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. The baseball star recently had Miami-based McCustoms auto shop preparing his Rolls-Royce Wraith, for the King to drive what he deserves.
The 28-year old sportsman is a Venezuelan professional baseball starting pitcher for the Seattle Mariners, having one of the fastest throws in the game. Hernandez throws a fastball between 92-95 mph, although he does not rely entirely on overpowering velocity. His repertoire of pitches also includes a hard curve, a power change-up, and a slider, all of which he can throw the batter.

On August 14, 2012, he threw the 23rd perfect game in Major League Baseball history against the Tampa Bay Rays in a 1-0 victory at Safeco Field. His career is similar to the way he throughs the ball, fast and agile. King was 14 when he was already able to pitch with 90 mph.

All this considered, it comes naturally for the guy to chose only the coolest cars out there, and the Rolls-Royce Wraith is definitely one of them. After all, it is reported to be the fastest British car to be built by Rolls-Royce. And when you think of that V12 twin-turbo 623 hp engine, you can already hear that out-of-this world growl.

And you haven’t yet seen the inside and look for the innovative engineering part. For instance, take the hand writing recognition system, or even better, think of the 8-speed gear box and its super GPS system, that anticipates the corners and hills to make sure the car is always in the right gear at the right time.
