First Drive: 2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith
When you get an invitation to drive a car like the all new Wraith through the gorgeous Arizona desert there is always a part of you that believes it cannot truly be real.

When that automotive icon is leading the charge out front of 624 horsepower churned from a twin-turbo V12 – you assume your smiling body will soon be laid cold in the Sonora desert. The word “wraith” by definition references the apparition of a living person after their death so I suppose its fitting that I may in fact be writing this article posthumously – but regardless – here is what I (or my apparition) thought of the new Rolls.
