Rolls-Royce recently debuted the newest addition to its luxury line of vehicles, The Wraith, at the Geneva Motor Show. The Rolls-Royce Wraith sets itself apart from the current line-up with its elegant fastback design and Rolls-Royce decided to take it a step further making it the most powerful Rolls-Royce in history. The Wraith boosts a 624-bhp V12 engine reaching 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds.

The interior gets the exquisite craftsmanship that Rolls-Royce is known for with it’s premium grade leathers and woods but the addition of Canadel Paneling gives the Wraith, a contemporary and yacht-like interior cabin feel. Rolls-Royce also added a Starlight Headliner, a Bespoke feature available beyond Phantom family cars for the first time.

The Wraith also gets a set of new features such as Satellite Aided Transmission, a technology that uses GPS mapping data to ensure the correct gear is always pre-selected for the road terrain ahead. Rolls-Royce has also made improvements to its voice activation commands which they call ‘on-board valet’. A one-touch call button is now placed on the steering wheel and a destination can now be entered via voice command.

Pricing starts at €245,000 ($319,000USD), with the first deliveries made to customers in the final quarter of 2013.

Calvin Klein’s former apartment recently hit the market for $35 million. 55 Central Park West was owned by Klein twice: first in 1983 and again during the 1990′s, and during that time he certainly made the place his own installing a hot tub on the roof and tearing down all of the interior walls in an act of minimalism.

The apartment has 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 1 half bath. One of the biggest perks about this place is its large glassed-in pavilion which offers breathtaking views overlooking Central Park. The apartment is currently owned by Steve Gottlieb,a former indie label record executive who is the owner of Shindig.com, a video chat platform, who acquired it from Calvin Klein for $8.6 million.

Gottlieb has kept the property in tip-top shape only using it to throw occasional parties. “Since Calvin lived here the first time he owned it,” said Mr. Gottlieb, “nobody has really lived here.”
