Rolls-Royce Wraith (2013)

The Rolls-Royce Wraith is a full-size ultra-luxury car/grand tourer manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and based on the chassis of the Rolls-Royce Ghost sedan, which is also shared with the Rolls-Royce Dawn convertible. The Wraith shares its nameplate with the 1938 model by the original Rolls-Royce company. The body style is a two-door pillar-less coupe with suicide doors. This body style was most popular in cars during the 1950s and 1960s, and was known as the hardtop body style, not used by Rolls-Royce since 1955.
