December 3 was National Day in the UAE, marking the
46th anniversary of the union of the seven emirates into the federation that
stands today. So how best to celebrate such an occasion? With a special
Rolls-Royce, of course.
Commissioned by Abu Dhabi Motors – one of the
largest Rolls-Royce dealerships in the world, this special-edition Wraith is
“inspired by the Spirit of the Union.”
It's done up in Infinity Black with a subtle
coachline in the colors of the Emirati flag. The wheel hubs feature special red
outline, and the interior's decked out in black and white with red trim.
Of course, this being a Wraith, it's already the
most dynamic and powerful vehicle that Rolls-Royce has ever made its 6.6-liter
twin-turbo V12 rated at 623 horsepower. The only model with more muscle is the
Black Badge version of the same, which boasts the same power rating but with
642 lb-ft of torque instead of 590.
