Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
confirms today that the new model Wraith will be with a fastback profile. The
Wraith will be launched at the upcoming Geneva Motor show. The final teaser image
illustrates the three lines that underscore the car’s striking profile.
Giles Taylor, Rolls-Royce
Motor Cars Design Director explains:
“The purposeful fastback
profile is Wraith’s defining element.
“Inherent in the graceful line
that sweeps from the top of the screen to the very rear edge is the promise of
fast, yet effortless touring. Yet, perhaps my favourite aspect is the
expressive gesture that comes from the side window graphic, gliding through
Wraith’s glamorous coach door.
“It works with a strong sense
of linear purpose from the shoulder line, which has the promise of potential
like the athlete in the starting blocks. In contrast, the line that cuts
through the shoulder line is a little more artful and adds that certain air of
effortlessness to Wraith’s dynamic statement.
“In my view the most
successful designs always come down to three or four lines.”
