Rolls-Royce is set to launch its most powerful car ever, the Wraith, in India on August 23.

The Ghost-based coupe is its most dynamic car ever, according to Rolls-Royce, and will come powered by a 624bhp V12 engine capable of accelerating from 0-100kph in 4.4 seconds.

The Wraith is 183mm shorter in terms of wheelbase than the Ghost, 130mm shorter in overall length, 40mm wider in rear track and 43mm lower in height. The suspension has also been stiffened to minimise body roll and ensure the driver gets a better sense of feedback when cornering. The steering weight is also heavier at high speeds and lighter at low speeds to encourage spirited driving.
