Rolls-Royce's 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 people's perception of the luxury marque（商品型号）, chief executive Torsten Muller-Otvos told BBC News.

"I'm confident it will attract a lot of new customers to the brand," he said.

'Not a competitor'

During a sneak² peek³ behind the large, black curtains that covered the car ahead of its official unveiling on Tuesday, the Wraith bore a passing resemblance to Bentley's Continental⁴ GT grand touring model, but Mr Muller-Otvos was eager to stress that he did not see it as a rival.

"I wouldn't see the Continental as a competitor, definitely not," he said. "We are operating in a different price segment, well beyond £200,000.

"But I wouldn't be surprised if some existing Bentley customers would buy the Wraith - many people in this segment don't see the Continental as exclusive anymore."
