ROLLS-ROYCE WRAITH

The Rolls-Royce Wraith redefines the Grand Tourer genre, and that’s not overstating it. The Wraith is probably the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever created, and it won’t be long until you are head-over-heels in love with this innovative and game-changing GT.

The Wraith is a powerful machine, drive by a 6.6L turbo-charged V12 engine that will take you from 0 to 60 in under 4.5 seconds. It displaces some 591hp and is controlled via a cutting-edge 8-speed satellite-aided automatic transmission. This state-of-the-art system makes use of satellite information to scout the road ahead and adjust transmission and suspension accordingly to fit road conditions.

The modern technological twists in the Wraith don’t stop at the transmission. The entire car, while retaining the very best traditions of hand-crafted quality, luxury and opulent style that Rolls-Royce is known for, also brings a new edgy chic. For example, the interior is accented by greater use of brushed aluminium, which is a nice contemporary touch. You also enjoy advanced air suspension that compensates for any lateral movement making for a stable and dynamic drive on any surface.

Other tech treats include active cruise control, which uses radar to automatically maintain safe distances from cars detected ahead of you. There’s also touch-handle car opening thanks to a smart key. That same key also stores your seat preferences, as well as wheel position and driver head-up display settings. At the centre of your console is the touchpad rotary control system, which puts everything at your fingertips for easy and quick control of the cars features.

Be under no illusions, though. The Wraith is Rolls-Royce through and through; the 2:1 proportion of wheel to roof height, the long overhang beyond the back wheels, the rear-hinged coach-style doors and the self-righting wheel centres that remain in upright position even when the car is moving along on its stunning 20” or 21” alloy wheels. You can even choose two-tone paint if you like, which sets off and accents the gorgeous lines and makes it even more of a head-turner.

Finally, the individualised, handcrafted nature of the Rolls-Royce Wraith leaves plenty of room for your own extra touches. Add on treadplates with your own customised text, for example, or go for the “coachline.” This exclusive hand-painted pinstripe line adds an accent to your Wraith, and is created by hand with immaculate precision by a single craftsman. Your Wraith, your rules.

Discover the Wraith and put yourself into the very best of Rolls-Royce.
