Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Wraith

POWER. STYLE.

DRAMA

The traditional Grand Tourer has long been associated with elegance,
pace and beauty. Now, with this new incarnation of Wraith, Rolls-Royce
redefines the genre. Quite simply the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever
created, this enigmatic motor car sets the benchmark as the ultimate
luxury GT.

Wraith opens the door to an entirely new level of driving experience.
This is a motor car for the restless seekers, built on that same insatiable
thirst for the ultimate of experiences.

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

It is a seamless marriage of performance, control and style. A motor
car that will transport you, physically and emotionally, to the most
exhilarating places.

DESIGNED TO BE

DRIVEN

As in every Rolls-Royce, a calm sophistication is a part of Wraith’s DNA.
However, this unruffled exterior conceals a heart that beats pure power.

The potent 6.6 litre, turbo-charged V12 engine can launch you from
0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, and just as swiftly on the journey of a lifetime.
It delivers 624 bhp in a seamless surge of energy, effortlessly delivered
through the eight-speed satellite aided automatic transmission.

Clever technology also ensures Wraith maintains its composure over
virtually any surface, with a state-of-the-art air suspension system
compensating for the tiniest of lateral movements.

This is Grand Touring as a fine art, exquisitely transforming every
journey, however long or familiar, into the ultimate driving experience.

BEAUTY IS

POWER

While Wraith is daring and unique, the principal design signatures
that set every Rolls-Royce apart are still very much in evidence; the
classic 2:1 proportions of wheel to roof height, the long overhang
beyond the back wheels, and the signature rear-hinged coach doors.

Underpinned by these pedigree features, Wraith challenges the
Rolls-Royce aesthetic boundaries in other areas. Its elegant fastback
lines promise seamless performance and an adventurous spirit, while
twin exhausts add a hint of controlled aggression to its powerful,
striking silhouette. The combined effect is a motor car that draws
covetous glances wherever it travels, finding beauty in the drama of
every drive.

MAKE A

STATEMENT

Whatever your journey or destination, Wraith adds a powerful,
dramatic presence and immaculate sense of style, distinctively illustrated
by a flawless external finish.

The mirror-like bodywork is the result of many layers of Xirallic
partnered with the meticulous workmanship of Rolls-Royce craftspeople.
Two-tone paint options can accentuate the car’s bold lines, allowing you
to make your Wraith as subtle or as striking as you desire.

Further personalise with a range of exclusive 20" and 21" wheel
designs. Painted, polished and par t-polished variations create options
to harmonise seamlessly with the paintwork. Whatever the choice,
the self-righting wheel centres make sure the Rolls-Royce monogram
stands proudly upright at all times.

EVERYTHING IS

CONSIDERED

Wraith’s coach doors swing wide to reveal the most enticing four-seat
Grand Tourer – a motor car comfortably capable of seating the driver,
three passengers and their luggage with space to spare.

The sweeping interior lines promise unashamed luxury that reflects
the discerning taste of the driver. A selection of exquisitely hand-crafted
veneers, created from single arcs of wood, offer license to display
individual style.

Wraith’s immense power is reflected throughout the cabin in a striking
union of Black and Seashell leather, with a dramatic Piano Black lacquer
to finish the veneers. Alternatively, select bookmatched Canadel
panelling, an open grain veneer reminiscent of ocean-going yachts, to
frame the flowing contours of the coach doors. For the sleek fascia,
a brushed aluminium can introduce a crisp, contemporary edge that
combines new world beauty with GT brawn.

SENSORY

DELIGHT

Within Wraith’s interior, every aspect of passenger comfort
has been carefully attended to, from the deep lambswool rugs
underfoot to the softest natural grain leather upholstery.

Overhead, Wraith’s exceptional attention to detail is further
exemplified. The cashmere headlining is available in either Seashell
or Black, or specify a fixed glass roof to bathe the interior in
natural light.

For true drama, choose an intricately crafted and unique
Starlight Headliner. Consisting of up to 1,600 fibre optic lights,
each hand-woven into the leather at assorted depths and angles,
to bring the atmosphere of the night sky inside, and can even
mirror a constellation of your choosing.

Further effects can be created with the flick of a single switch to
shift the ambiance from softly lit and mellow to brilliantly intense.

TECHNOLOGY AT YOUR

COMMAND

Wraith’s Satellite Aided Transmission predicts the road ahead, automatically
selecting the right gear on the eight-speed transmission to make long-distance
touring natural and effortless. In addition, Active Cruise Control is radar-enabled
to keep track of vehicles in front and automatically maintain a safe distance,
ensuring the smoothest possible ride.

For a more informed drive, the intelligent Head Up Display projects critical
information in to the natural field of vision. This lessens eye-strain and ensures
you can enjoy the ultimate driving experience free from distractions.

Strategically placed cameras offer a 360-degree view around the car for
assistance with manoeuvres, while an infrared eye in the front grille detects
potential hazards at night, such as people and animals, up to 300 metres away.
This assisted ‘night vision’ extends far beyond the headlights’ beam and
provides you with invaluable time to react to potential dangers.

REFINED

PLEASURES

Finely tuned by Rolls-Royce experts, Wraith’s eighteen-speaker
Bespoke Audio System produces incredibly rich and deep sounds.
External microphones enhance its clarity by automatically adjusting
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.

A Comfort Entry System puts convenience at your fingertips,
enabling 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. For instance,
the Spirit of Ecstasy Rotary Controller enables you to 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 grille surround 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 an enhanced gearbox characteristic, it delivers more torque and
quicker shifts 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.

INSPIRATION IS

team can bring it to life in your car, to reflect your tastes exactly.

YOU

monogram, can be meticulously hand painted with a brush made from
ox and squirrel hair. More than simply a car, this is your canvas.

PORTO CERVO

WRAITH

Tucked away on Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda lies Porto Cervo,
one of the world’s most glamorous destinations. Porto Cervo’s
commission, Dusk, a two-tone silver Wraith, perfectly captures
the feeling of night softly setting in the magnificent marina.

As the day draws to an end, Porto Cervo’s nightlife is set
in motion. The subtle shift is reflected in Wraith, where a
deliberately understated exterior draws attention to the
vibrant interior. Tailored Purple, Purple Silk and Powder Blue
leather pay homage to the colourful hues in the sky above the
Sardinian coast, mimicking the promise of Porto Cervo’s
night-time hours. Ostrich leather on the centre console and
door panniers adds further depth, texture and an exotic touch
to the exquisitely furnished cabin.

BESPOKE

FEATURES

From adding hand embroidered motifs or insignias to the
headrests to making an entrance with illuminated treadplates,
there are countless ways to further personalise a Rolls-Royce.
Our customers have gone to new lengths in making their
own Wraith unique, with one commission showing a virtuoso
display of world leading craftsmanship.
