Talk:Rolls-Royce Wraith (1938)

2013 model vs. 1938 to 1939 model
This page needs to be restructured to better reflect the two totally different models of the same name from different eras. Possibly, the page should be split, maybe with a short page about the model name, with split to a page each for each vintage. At least there needs to be a page which deals with the current model, while acknowledging its heritage. Enquire (talk) 18:38, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree this article should be split into two separate articles. There is no direct relationship between the two cars - they were made by two different companies. The company that manufactured the 1938 Wraith is now called Bentley Motors Limited and is owned by Volkswagen Group. The 2013 cars is manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited, a company that was created new by BMW Group in 1998 and is not related to or a successor of today's Bentley Motors Limited or its predecessors. The 2013 car can not rightly be called a second generation of the 1938 car because they vehicles were manufactured by two different companies. The Phantom has separate articles named by model years to account for this unusual Bentley/RR situation. 174.21.245.82 (talk) 18:41, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

2013 model top speed
So apparently the top speed for the new Wraith is about 204 mph. None of the sources given in this article mention it, though. Has RR issued an official top speed figure? --98.246.156.76 (talk) 05:04, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Hood ornament?
The standard hood ornament for the Wraith was the kneeling version, right? It was also the first RR of several models to carry that hood ornament. Would the standing version seen in the 2nd photo in the article be aftermarket, then? --2600:100F:B021:AE45:0:45:CCBF:A101 (talk) 00:48, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
