Wraith Family

A STRIKING

PRESENCE

Power, performance, prestige – Wraith is the most powerful Rolls-Royce
ever built.

This is a car for the curious, the confident and the bold. Outstanding
performance is married with exuberant luxury, all delivered in a style
that exudes a sense of glamour and poise. Every aspect of the car’s
purposeful design creates an alluring sense of the noir and earns the
enigmatic name, Wraith.

Intended to push the boundaries of design and engineering, Wraith is the
embodiment of Sir Henry Royce’s vision: “Take the best that exists and
make it better. When it does not exist, design it.”

Presenting a perfect marriage of involvement and refinement, Wraith is
the only car with the power, style and drama to make the world stand still.

DESIGNED TO BE

DRIVEN

Wraith has all the sophistication one would expect from Rolls-Royce,
yet it is unashamedly designed and built to perform. A potent 6.6 litre,
turbo-charged V12 engine delivers an incredible 624 bhp, powering the
car from 0-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. This seamless surge of energy is
effortlessly delivered through the eight-speed automatic transmission.

Clever technology ensures Wraith maintains its poised composure over
virtually any surface, while the air suspension system compensates for
even the tiniest of movements.

CHALLENGING

EXPECTATIONS

While Wraith is both daring and unique, it is still a Rolls-Royce through
and through. The principal design statements that set this prestigious
marque apart are present in the classic 2:1 proportions of wheel to roof
height, the long overhang beyond the back wheels, and the signature
rear-hinged coach doors.

Wraith also challenges and pushes Rolls-Royce’s aesthetic boundaries.
When seen in profile, its elegant fastback design, deeply recessed vertical
front grille and twin exhausts give it a powerful, striking silhouette. Even
the Spirit of Ecstasy, which is angled further forward in a bold stance,
adds to the drama. The combined effect is a car that creates a unique
sense of theatre wherever it goes.

MAKE A

STATEMENT

Look closely into the paintwork of Wraith and you will see a perfect
image of yourself looking back. The flawless finish is the result of
layers of high-tech Xirallic® paint and the meticulous workmanship
of Rolls-Royce craftspeople. With the two-tone paint option that
accentuates the car’s bold lines, you can choose to make your Wraith
as subtle or as striking as you desire.

Choose from a range of exclusive 21" wheel designs to further
personalise your car. Available in painted, polished and part-polished
variations, as well as a bi-colour finish to create perfect harmony with
the paintwork. Whatever your choice, the self-righting wheel centres
will ensure the Rolls-Royce monogram is always correctly displayed.

EVERYTHING IS

CONSIDERED

Wraith’s coach doors open to reveal the most enticing four-seat
Grand Tourer, capable of accommodating the driver, three passengers
and their luggage with ease and in ultimate luxury. While the exterior
exudes purpose, the sweeping interior lines promise absolute comfort.

A selection of exquisitely hand-crafted veneers, created from one­of-a-kind arcs of wood, allows you to add your own stylistic touch to
Wraith. Choose Canadel Panelling to beautifully enhance the interiors,
as our master craftspeople gracefully curve this exceptional expanse of
open grain veneer around the contours of the coach doors.

Alternatively, select Elegant Piano Black lacquering to finish the veneers.
While brushed aluminium introduces a crisp, contemporary edge to
the sleek metal fascia.

SENSORY

DELIGHT

Within Wraith’s interior, every aspect of passenger comfort
has been carefully crafted. The deep lambswool rugs
underfoot are complemented by the softest and finest natural
grain leather upholstery.

Overhead, Wraith continues to delight. Cashmere headlining
comes as standard in either Seashell or Black. You can also
specify a fixed glass roof to bathe the interior in natural light,
or an intricately crafted and unique Starlight Headliner.
Up to 1,600 fibre optic lights are hand-woven into the leather
at assorted depths and angles, evoking the enchantment of a
night sky and with the possibility of mirroring a constellation
of your choosing. With a single switch, shift the ambiance
from softly lit and mellow to brilliantly intense.

ADVANCED

TECHNOLOGY

With its Satellite Aided Transmission, Wraith uses GPS data and its
navigation system to predict the road ahead and automatically selects
the right gear on the eight-speed transmission. In addition, Active
Cruise Control uses a radar to keep track of the cars ahead and will
brake automatically to maintain a safe distance, ensuring the smoothest
possible ride for both driver and passengers.

For a more informed drive, the intelligent Head Up Display projects
critical information in to the natural field of vision. Not only does this
lessen eye-strain, it also ensures that the driver’s attention can focus on
the road ahead.

Cameras offer a 360-degree view around the car for assistance with
manoeuvres while, at night, an infrared eye positioned in the front grille
is able to detect potential hazards, such as people and animals, up to
an impressive 300 metres away. The assisted ‘night vision’ extends far
beyond the headlights’ beam and provides the driver with more time
than ever before to react to the road ahead.

REFINED

PLEASURES

Finely tuned by Rolls-Royce experts, Wraith’s eighteen­speaker Bespoke Audio System produces incredibly rich
and deep sounds, aided by external microphones that
automatically adjust the settings to compensate for exterior
noise. Whether you choose the ‘studio’, ‘theatre’ or ‘larger
than live’ sensation, high-precision Dirac® technology
eliminates loud and quiet spots within the car to produce the
smoothest, purest acoustics imaginable. Finally, the distinctively
dark speaker grilles and cones add to the sense of theatre,
with an exclusive copper-hued grille in the Wraith Inspired by
Music that exudes timeless style.

Adding to the levels of sheer convenience provided by
Wraith, a Comfort Entry System enables you to lock and
unlock your car simply by touching the door handle. The key
even stores individual preferences such as seat adjustments,
steering wheel position and Head Up Display settings.

You have unprecedented control inside the car too. The Spirit
of Ecstasy Rotary Controller lets you manage everything from
your journey planner to your address book, with just a swipe
of your finger across the touchpad surface.

STEP INTO

DARKNESS

An irresistible invitation for the risk-takers and rule-breakers. For those
who crave the bolder side of life. This is a twist on the world’s most
iconic automotive marque.

This is Wraith Black Badge.

The most arresting aesthetic ever to grace a Rolls-Royce. Black Badge is
the boldest expression for those who dare to be different.

COMMAND

ATTENTION

At rest, Wraith Black Badge has a bewitching aura. In motion, it exudes
formidable prowess. Subtle, yet powerful, design features create its
bolder edge. Chrome is darkened and paint can be deepened.
The darkness has taken over.

The sculptured front bumper and dark chrome grille emphasise its
muscular presence whilst the 21” carbon fibre composite wheels
make a distinctive statement. Wraith’s LED lights guide you through
the night with the transformed Spirit of Ecstasy, fashioned in a
rebellious black, leading the way into the darkness towards
undiscovered adventures.

This is a motor car with true purpose and real intent. A motor car
that lets your daring side take over.

A DARKER SHADE OF

LUXURY

The seductive, deep shades of Black Badge are continued within
Wraith’s sumptuous interior. Black tones dominate, accentuated by
your choice of striking accent colours. A dramatic Piano Black veneer
gives the cabin a darkly refined aesthetic.

Every detail has been meticulously designed to fur ther enhance
Wraith’s daring attitude and desire to push the limits. The clock and
rear seat centre have been adorned with an infinity symbol, a subtle
reminder to the driver that anything is possible.

Add to the ambiance and embrace the darkness with an optional
Starlight Headliner. Be engulfed in your very own star-filled night sky
with your personal stellar scene. With the brightness of each star
adjustable to suit your mood, in Black Badge, you control the night.

THE POWER TO

PERFORM

Beyond the imposing exterior, energy lies poised. The uprated 6.6 litre
V12 engine creates a feeling of endless power and potency. Married
to a new gearbox, it delivers more torque and lower ratios that
bolster the straight-line performance.

The Black Badge powertrain has been crafted specifically to react
intuitively to driver input. The result is sharpened responses. And with
enhanced steering and suspension that deliver exceptional contact
with the road, this is a Rolls-Royce driving experience like no other.
For those who feel the unmistakable pull of adventure, this is a motor
car with the performance to dominate the darkness.

finished to your taste.

And, for a final flourish, contrasting coachlines, embellished with your
monogram, can be meticulously hand painted with a brush made from
ox and squirrel hair. More than simply a car, this is your canvas.
