  Wraith is also the name of a new coupé announced by Rolls-Royce in 2013.
  Wraith is an old Scottish word meaning "ghost" or "spirit", continuing Rolls-Royce's new nomenclature that they had adopted, using words relating to silent, gracious, elegant, rarely seen and highly sought after for these reasons. In fact, the Wraith name originated from a 40/50 h.p, that was named "The Wraith" by its original owner.
