With just a few days to go until the Gumball 3000 2024 supercar event, the organizers have surprised automotive enthusiasts worldwide by including two unexpected vehicles in the line-up for teams 4 and 14: the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Ranger Raptor. This move has been deemed unprecedented, and the reason behind it remains unclear.
In addition to these two vehicles, a Rolls-Royce Wraith has also been recently added to the global supercar event, and it will be driven by two participants from Ukraine. This brings the total number of Wraiths in the Gumball 3000 2024 to two.
It is unknown if there will be further adjustments to the participating vehicles in Gumball 3000. So far, three new models have been registered: the Toyota Fortuner, Ford Ranger Raptor, and most recently, the Rolls-Royce Wraith for team 113.
The Rolls-Royce Wraith that will be driven by the Ukrainian participants features a matte black exterior, with a unique touch of yellow-tinted headlights and two additional yellow LED lights on the front bumper.
The Rolls-Royce Wraith is designed to cater to young entrepreneurs who desire a super-luxury vehicle with a sporty character. Its signature suicide doors and spacious four-seat interior set it apart.
The newly added Rolls-Royce Wraith participating in Gumball 3000 2024 is a Series II model, powered by a V12 engine with a 6.6-liter capacity. It delivers a maximum output of 623 horsepower and a peak torque of 800 Nm.
The engine in the Rolls-Royce Wraith is paired with a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, enabling the supercar to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 4.6 seconds, reaching a top speed of 250 km/h.
