Yet, perhaps my favourite aspect is the expressive gesture that comes from the side window graphic, gliding through Wraith's glamorous coach door.'

Scheduled to make its first official appearance at the Geneva Motor Show on March 7, the Wraith could attract more than its fair share of admiring looks from clients that would otherwise be heading straight to the Ferrari, Bentley or Mercedes stands in search of something with four comfortable seats tied to a massively powerful engine.
