Exterior Design

The masterpiece of Pavle Trpinac, the Wraith Inspired by Music, succeeds the Inspired by Film and Inspired by Fashion models. It offers an aesthetic experience as much as an aural one. Paying homage to its long-standing love affair with the music scene, the Wraith Inspired by Music dons a deep copper hue, highlighting the immaculately detailed chrome along the bodywork.

Broad haunches and a distinct waistline are complemented by ebony embellished 21-inch wheels, signifying the Wraith’s performance affinity. Created over 450 hours, the Wraith embodies perfection, beautifully marrying class with dynamism.

Interior Features

Offering an experience that matches, if not surpasses, the extravagant first-class cabins of world-class airlines, the interiors of the British coupe are adorned in supple leather and book-matched copper trim, among other exquisite materials. Copper-colored door inserts emphasize the Wraith’s contours and accompany delicately designed speaker grilles.

The door panniers and floor mats, crafted from finely-woven leather, add additional depth to the cabin. Mahogany wood, chrome, and glass finished buttons elevate the experience, making it look as impeccable as it feels.

Safety & Features

Staying true to its roots, the Wraith is equipped with advanced technology that astonishes. From a satellite-aided transmission that uses GPS data to select the right gear to a Wi-Fi hotspot allowing complete connectivity and voice commands to control the infotainment system, the Wraith distinctly stands in a class of its own.

The pièce de résistance of the Wraith Inspired by Music is the Bespoke Audio system, composed of copper and developed over two years. Designed to deliver an unrivaled aural experience, the system pumps out 1300 Watts through 18 speakers, rivaling a live performance and delivering goosebumps.

Performance & Drive

True to its enigmatic presence and fastback silhouette that exude elegance and power, the Wraith Inspired by Music is powered by a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine, generating 624 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque.

With immense grip, the Wraith remains composed even at the edge of physics, utilizing an intelligent array of technologies to adapt to minor road surface changes. The air suspension system continuously studies the surface to ensure all occupants experience the synonymous ‘magic carpet ride’.
