Rolls-Royce Wraith Drophead Coupe confirmed for 2015 launch

Rolls-Royce has reconfirmed about the company’s plans to introduce a convertible version of the Wraith.

Rolls-Royce chief Torsten Müller-Ötvös said that the new model will be launched sometime around in 2015 and they hope that it will be successful in lowering the company’s average age of customers as well as increase the popularity of the Rolls-Royce brand. The executive further said that the Wraith has received positive reviews so far and that it brings customers who are at their first purchase of a Rolls-Royce.

The convertible is expected to get the same V12 6.6-liter engine outputting 632 HP (465 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. While the coupe is able to complete the 0-62 mph (0-100 kmph) sprint in 4.6 seconds, the convertible can be expected to be a bit slower due to the added weight. In terms of pricing as well, we can expect that the price of the convertible would be more than coupe’s starting price of 245,000 EUR.

The details are limited as of now about the convertible model but we can surely expect more details to be out soon regarding the coupe and convertible both.
