Wraith set to haunt, April 2, 2007
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Confederate Motor Company, the American design company that created
the prestigous Hellcat, announces the release of the revolutionary radial twin B120 Wraith, according
to cheif executive officer and founder Matt Chambers.
Accoding to Chambers, Confederate chose the pre-1916 era of motoring and the courageous free
spirited nature of the board track racer as the inspirational starting point of the Wraith. Conceived in
the spirit of celebrating art and built with the motivation of creating an unparalleled riding experience,
the B120 Wraith is the premiere luxury sport vehicle.
The B120 Wraith features :
.
The world's first triple load path carbon fiber Monocoque chassis design, providing world leading torsion and bend ridigity, with extreme light weight.
.
The world's first carbon fiber multi-link double wishbone front suspension, which virtually eliminates stiction, while performing geometry, enhancing rigity and providing more accurate engaging steering feel with a smoother, more luxurious ride.
.
Light-weight single-sided aluminum suspension.
.
Multi-adjustable Penske titanium coil over shock dampeners.
.
The patented Confederate close ratio, verticle stacked five speed transmission with output shaft bearing support at the swing arm pivot, the industry's smoothest and most robust gearset.
.
Counter balanced 120 cubic inch 45 degree radial twin power, combining the world's leading torque to weight ratio with ratio with linear smooth operation from off idle maximum RPM.
"As Brough Superior, Vincent, and Crocker most connected emotionally to Hellcat, the 1911 Pierce would illuminate what the Wraith would be." Chambers said,
"which is, quite simply, the world's most luxurious, sporting two wheeled device."
The B120 Wraith is handcrafted at the Confederate Motor Company facilities in Birmingham, Ala. Only 250 B-series Wraiths will be created. Currently, 176
opportunities for ownership remain.
