[h=2]still not as fast as the lambo but the rolls royce has a new car
http://money.cnn.com/2013/03/08/autos/rolls-royce-wraith/index.html?hpt=hp_t3
Rolls-Royce unveiled the brand's fastest production model ever, but being that this is a Rolls-Royce we're talking about, the Wraith isn't exactly a sports car.[/h]The Wraith is very big, weighing about 5000 pounds, despite being only a two-door car. It was among the hundreds of vehicles that were unveiled this week at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland, including new models from the likes of Ferrari andLamborghini.
Despite its heft, the Wraith is capable of surprisingly respectable performance along with the luxury features that owners have come to expect from a Rolls.
With its 624 horsepower V12 engine, the Wraith can hurtle from zero to 60 miles an hour in just 4.4 seconds. The car's 8-speed transmission gets information from a GPS unit so that it can select gears based in the road ahead. For instance, it can downshift the moment a hill or curve is approached. That helps with both performance and fuel economy, Rolls says.

His long flowing mane is legendary in its own right. Don't get me started on the mustache.
More to the point that was Colin McRae beating the shit out of a Subaru. It's not the engine it's what you DO with it

When that car came out, i wanted one because it was simply Unreasonable. (That bar's been raised since then. ZL-1, anyone?) I wanted a garage so i could partner it with that other high priest of the automotively Unreasonable. cn
