// 2014 ROLLS-ROYCE WRAITH SIM P LY SPECTACULAR The new Wraith is the Rolls-Royce for people who drive themselves, if those Rolls customers exist

BY J.P. VETTRAINO

IT’S FUNNY TO THINK OF ‡ any automobile as an upgrade from the 557-hp, $164,000 Mercedes-Benz CL600 coupe. That might be the best way to describe the 2014 Rolls- Royce Wraith, nonetheless. The more obvious Wraith association would seem to be the Bentley Continental GT, but that doesn’t work well either, and not because the Wraith costs at least $90,000 more. The all-wheel-drive Contin- ental GT is more overtly sporting and maybe less chivalrous, with available GT Speed and Supersports configurations. The new Wraith is stunning in certain respects, a throwback and a landmark in others, and the most powerful Rolls-Royce we haven’t precisely seen in decades.

©2013 by MacNeil IP LLC Laser Measured FloorLiner™ It’s not easy to become a WeatherTech® FloorLiner™!

The designers and engineers at WeatherTech® have worked tirelessly to develop the most advanced vehicle floor protection system available today!

The main goal in the WeatherTech® FloorLiner™ design process is to achieve a consistently perfect fit for each and every vehicle. A perfect fit protects the front, back and even up the sides of the vehicle’s foot well where possible.

We start by 3D laser measuring the interior floor surfaces, then we process the raw data and design the FloorLiner™ using aerospace strength “Class A” surfacing software. A full 3D prototype part is created that we fit into the actual vehicle to ensure a perfect fit. The next step is machining the mold out of aircraft grade aluminum and water-cooling it to maintain consistent production quality. Finally, the WeatherTech® FloorLiner™ is manufactured from a patented multilayer material that has a rigid core for strength, that helps retain its shape, while offering a soft tactile feel on the top surface, which feels good underfoot. All WeatherTech® FloorLiners™ feature channels that carry fluid and debris into a lower aft reservoir, away from shoes and clothing. The lower reservoir uses additional channeling to minimize fluid and debris movement while driving. Easy to clean, Easy to install, Easy to order. Available in Black, Tan or Grey for cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans. www.WeatherTech.com or 1-800-441-6287

■ Chris Hemsworth, left, as James Hunt, and Daniel Brühl as Niki Lauda in a scene from the forthcoming Formula One epic “Rush.”

JULY 4, 2013: RATHER THAN ‡ relaxing at home on Indepen- dence Day with family and friends, Ron Howard is facing a tough test, and he admits to feeling a little stressed. MAKING “Rush,” the much-anticipated film about the 1976 Formula One World Championship battle between James Hunt and Niki Lauda—the project Howard has for the past two years spent much of his M AGIC life working on—has already been screened How ‘Rush’ made it to the big screen to select, appreciative audiences. But here at Germany’s Nürburgring, in a theater BY ADAM COOPER located behind the main grandstand, the COMP \\ ‘RUSH’

crowd is rather different. Not only does it contain Lauda himself, but also F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, along with assorted F1 drivers, team principals, technical directors and various other paddock insiders. When the final credits roll, Lauda leads a solid round of applause, and Howard fi- nally breathes a huge sigh of relief. “Rush” has passed its biggest test to date. Will “Rush” do what “Grand Prix,” “Le Mans,” “Winning” and many others have failed to do and satisfy motorsports afi- cionados while also appealing to a general audience? It has a good chance. Howard is the movie’s public face and, via his Twitter feed, gave movie buffs and orating on a racing movie. tween an Austrian and Englishman, it felt racing fans an unprecedented insight into “What happened was a producer very quickly like it was going to the heart the film’s production.

Meanwhile, Greengrass had the opposite problem: He found himself double-booked. “Peter called me and said, ‘Paul is going to do ‘Captain Phillips,’” Howard recalls. “It was a movie that had to work at a par- ticular time due to weather and Tom Hanks’ schedule. “It was being made at Sony and was a great project, so I was only a little bit sur- prised and excited when Peter called. He said, ‘I’m showing ‘Rush’ to a few direc- tors, to be fair. But you raised your hand, were you serious about that, or were you just being polite?’ I said, ‘I’m very serious; ‘Dark Tower’ is not coming together in a timely way, but I’d love to read ‘Rush’...’” Howard liked what he saw and signed up quickly. “It was undeniably great drama, with Niki’s comeback and the conflict between these characters,” he says. “The way Peter was writing it was very entertaining.
