New York 2015: Rolls-Royce Wraith 'Inspired By Film' Edition Revealed
Bringing the first press day of the 2015 New York Auto Show to a close in cinematic fashion comes the Rolls-Royce Wraith ‘Inspired By Film’ edition.
Honoring the automaker’s cinematic history in films like “Goldfinger,” “The Thomas Crowne Affair” and “The Great Gatsby,” the Wraith was built for a short film to coincide with the original model’s launch, “And the World Stood Still,” which was recently accepted by the British Film Institute National Archives according to AutoGuide.
Under the hood is a 624-horsepower twin-turbo V12, while the inside is adorned in Anthraite leather with Casden Tan accents and Maccassar Ebony open pore paneling, all draped in two-tone silver and jubilee silver paint, and topped with a solid silver “Spirit of Ecstasy” hood ornament.

- HotRod The Tunnel Turn at the "Tricky Triangle" (Pocono Raceway). I got to push a Nascar-style Dodge Intrepid harder than I ever imagined. I was miserable with shingles at the time, making the experience that much more memorable. But for a handful of laps I didn't feel anything but pure adrenaline.
- Redapple2 That is one busy face. Ford: Too much.
- SCE to AUX The video in the link is pretty damning, but the fix should be a simple mechanical repair. A code patch won't do it.
- SCE to AUX I get it, and yet I don't. Time has put a lot of distance between the 1964.5 and the 2025, and Ford has already sullied the Mustang name by putting it on a vehicle completely unrelated to this one.I guess 1965 somebodys will see fit to pay Ford and its local dealer a hefty premium to 'celebrate' the Mustang name.Are the 30th Anniversary Mustangs worth a nickel today? Better yet, how about the 10th Anniversary Mustangs?
- SCE to AUX Oddly, my 22 Santa Fe has higher HP and torque from its 2.5T/8DCT drivetrain, but it has similar fuel economy (22/28).Must be a different ECU tune for the Elantra N.

The name is very corny, though the interior is beautiful (minus the constellation headliner - this isn't a Town Car limo). But when it comes down to it, I don't want my RR inspired by film. I want it inspired by Britishness, and money.
I want "The Grapes of Wraith" edition.
