Rolls-Royce Wraith: A Car Inspired by Earth and the Solar System
Tags:
Introduction
The Rolls-Royce brand refuses to limit its clients' imagination, offering them inspiration from anywhere in the world—and even the universe. This is clearly evident in its latest creation, the "Wraith inspired by Earth," commissioned by Rolls-Royce Abu Dhabi to embody the solar system and the view of Earth from space.
Exterior Design
The exterior design features a royal blue color that represents 75% of the Earth's surface covered by water. The most eye-catching element is the artwork on the hood, depicting the Middle East as seen from space. The United Arab Emirates is at the center of this panoramic view, which includes:
- Red Sea
- Arabian Sea
- Persian Gulf
- Gulf of Oman
This intricate design was hand-painted using a precision spray technique that took over 100 hours to complete. The exterior is further enhanced by a hand-painted "Coachline" in emerald green, symbolizing the sun and the eight planets in the solar system, which are:
- Mercury
- Venus
- Earth
- Mars
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Uranus
- Neptune
Interior Design
The interior design focuses on highlighting Earth's surface, human life, and the nature that inhabits it. The seats are crafted from Mokassin leather to mimic the sands of the UAE desert, with accents in navy blue and cobalt blue representing rivers and lakes, along with emerald green details symbolizing nature in all its forms. The stitching and the embossed initials "RR" are done in Arctic white to evoke clouds and flowing clear waters.
Additional Details
The rear cabin features a stunning visual between the two seats that represents clouds in the sky through embroidery with intricate details created using Photoflash technology. On the front, the piano-finish veneer displays a satellite image of the Middle East, so realistic that it resembles a photograph, yet it is skillfully painted with high precision.
The starry headliner is embroidered to depict all the planets orbiting the sun in the solar system. Other notable details include:
- Door sills
- A clock with a metallic radial background
- Inlays representing the planets in silver, with Earth highlighted in gold
