Exterior Design

A masterpiece by Pavel Tribunyk, the design of the Wraith has previously drawn inspiration from films and models, and now from music, which is a remarkable opportunity to appreciate its beauty. The stunning copper color adorning the car highlights the chrome accents along its body.

The broad shoulders and distinct waistline are complemented by a set of 21-inch wooden-themed wheels, giving the Wraith a sporty appearance. This exquisitely designed car is the result of 450 hours of craftsmanship.

Interior Design

Upon entering the cabin, you will feel as if you are in the first class of a global airline, if not more luxurious. The soft leather enveloping the interior, along with copper accents matching the exterior color and other premium materials, creates an opulent atmosphere. Copper-colored door panels extend from the front to the back, accompanied by elegantly designed copper-mesh speaker grills.

The interior features the finest leather, complemented by side door bins and deep carpeting that add depth to the cabin. Mahogany wood, chrome, and glass buttons contribute to making the Wraith’s interior irresistible.

Safety and Technology Features

As is customary with Rolls Royce vehicles, the Wraith is equipped with an impressive array of technology. From a satellite-supported transmission that uses navigation to select the appropriate gear to a Wi-Fi hotspot for connectivity and voice commands for the infotainment system, this car stands out in terms of technology.

The Wraith's audio system, inspired by music and crafted from copper, is the result of two years of development, featuring 18 speakers positioned throughout the cabin with a total output of 1300 watts, delivering an unmatched audio experience.

Driving Experience

With its powerful and elegant exterior, the music-inspired Wraith is equipped with a 6.6L Twin-Turbo V12 engine, generating 624 hp and 800 Nm of torque. This makes the Wraith the most powerful Rolls Royce to date. With rear-wheel drive, the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds, weighing in at 2,360 kg, reaching a top speed of 250 km/h.

With exceptional grip, the Wraith utilizes a smart array of technology to transcend physical limits and harmonize with minor surface changes. The air suspension system continuously analyzes the terrain to ensure that all passengers enjoy their journey on this magical carpet ride.
