The Wraith coupe more than lives up to its Pop Explosion designation. It s finished in a two-tone GT Blue and Arctic White with a coachline in Koi Red. The flamboyant cabin is a blend of Arctic White and Muscari Blue with a special Starlight Headliner in red. The geometric patterns of the veneer are said to be inspired by the windows of skyscrapers. In the rear of the cabin, there is a Waterfall positioned between the two seats. Somehow, the Wraith pulls off this vivid color scheme while retaining the opulence inherent in every Rolls. Together, the three vehicles prove once again that Rolls-Royce is unsurpassed in its ability to craft the most unique luxury cars in the world.

Lincoln mid-April took the covers off of a stunning concept vehicle at the Shanghai auto salon, featuring a throwback name but throw-forward styling.
It’s called the Zephyr Reflection, and it uses Lincoln’s current “Quiet Flight” design language to envision a svelte and sexy sedan that is unexpected from the brand.
Shaved door handles and an aggressive front fascia makes this a properly modern take on an old-fashioned brand. There’s also an LED light strip that runs through the badge and connects the left and right headlights. Around the back is a full-width taillight, a style popular with just about every luxury car these days.
Please, please, please sell it in the United States.
Following the death of the Continental and MKZ, Lincoln no longer has any sedan models in its North American product lineup. The American luxury brand only builds crossovers like the Corsair, Nautilus, Aviator, and Navigator. But while sedans are no longer important in the US, they are still prevalent in China. That s why Lincoln has introduced an achingly pretty concept car called the Zephyr Reflection at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show.
We heard rumors that Lincoln could revive the Zephyr name back in 2019. Lincoln last used the moniker on a Fusion-based sedan model in 2006. This new Zephyr Reflection acts as a preview for a new iteration of Lincoln s Quiet Flight product DNA. A full production model will debut later in 2021 alongside a locally-produced Lincoln Corsair PHEV, the brand s first new energy vehicle in China.
Lincon is previewing the latest expression of its “quiet flight” design language with the Zephyr Reflection, which it’s calling a teaser in the shape of a concept car.
The sedan made its debut at Auto Shanghai 2021 today, where Lincoln says that demand for luxury sedans is still strong. With this modern take on American luxury, the brand hopes to take advantage of that demand.
“We gathered Lincoln’s global wisdom and Chinese design talent to create the Zephyr Reflection specifically for a more youthful, Chinese customer segment,” said Mao Jingbo, president of Lincoln China. “With a dynamic and futuristic exterior design, and a lightweight interior, the Zephyr Reflection embodies the current digital era with advanced, intuitive technology that redefines American luxury.”
