劳斯莱斯发布最强大车型——幽灵 Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is officially unveiling its fastest and most powerful model yet at the Geneva motor show. 劳斯莱斯汽车公司在日内瓦车展上正式发布旗下最快、最强大的车型——幽灵。 Rolls-Royces Wraith will be more expensive than coupes sold by Bentley ? The 624 horse power Wraith will travel from 0-60mph (0-100km/h) in 4. 4 seconds and cost more than ￡200,000 ($300,000) when it goes on sale later this year. ? The car was designed to change peoples perception of the luxury marque（商品型号）, chief executive Torsten Muller-Otvos told BBC News. ? Im confident it will attract a lot of new customers to the brand, he said. ? Not a competitor ? During a sneak peek behind the large, black curtains that covered the car ahead of its official unveiling on Tuesday, the Wraith bore a passing resemblance to Bentleys Continental GT grand touring model, but Mr Muller-Otvos was eager to stress that he did not see it as a rival. ? I wouldnt see the Continental as a competitor, definitely not, he said. We are operating in a different price segment, well beyond ￡200,000. ? But I wouldnt be surprised if some existing Bentley customers would buy the Wraith - many people in this segment dont see the Continental as exclusive anymore.
