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.

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.

  The Grapes of Wraith edition will be all around in the dark. It’ll be eveywhere — wherever you look. Wherever there is a fight so hungry people can eat, It’ll be there. Wherever there is a cop beatin’ up a guy, It’ll be there. It’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry and they know supper’s ready. And when our folks eat the stuff they raise and live in the houses they build — why, It’ll be there Or, it will just be haunted by the ghost of Tom Joad.

George How Could the old car have any connection with the new car as performance and wheel size?
ToolGuy Spouse drives 3 miles one-way to work 5 days a week. Would love to have a cheap (used) little zippy EV, but also takes the occasional 200 mile one-way trip. 30 miles a week doesn't burn a lot of fuel, so the math doesn't work. ICE for now, and the 'new' (used) ICE gets worse fuel economy than the vehicle it will replace (oh no!). [It will also go on some longer trips and should be a good long-distance cruiser.] Several years from now there will (should) be many (used) EVs which will crush the short-commute-plus-medium-road-trip role (at the right acquisition cost). Spouse can be done with gasoline, I can be done with head gaskets, and why would I possibly consider hybrid or PHEV at that point.
FreedMike The test of a good design is whether it still looks good years down the line. And Sacco's stuff - particularly the W124 - still looks clean, elegant, and stylish, like a well tailored business suit.
Jeff Corey thank you for another great article and a great tribute to Bruno Sacco.
