Custom Rolls-Royce Wraith Invites You To Take a Seat Inside, Would You Do That?
Rolls-Royce may have recently bid farewell to the Wraith after a successful ten-year production run, but the legacy of this luxury grand tourer continues to shine as one of the finest creations in the automotive world.
The Rolls-Royce Wraith, a name that echoes with elegance and opulence, has left an indelible mark on the automotive landscape. While the prospect of owning one might remain a distant dream for most due to its hefty price tag, the allure it exudes is undeniable. With recent low-mileage models commanding prices well into the half-million-dollar range in the used car market, it’s not uncommon to encounter customized versions fetching seven-figure valuations.
Replacing the Phantom Coupe, the Wraith inherited its foundation from the F01 generation BMW 7 Series and the smaller F10 5 Series. A commanding presence, the Wraith boasts the iconic Rolls-Royce grille flanked by modern-looking headlamps, and its signature coach doors are a striking touch. The car’s design is characterized by its broad shoulders, a seamlessly flowing roofline merging into the rear windscreen, sizeable wheels, and an interior adorned with top-tier materials and the occasional starlight headliner.
Despite its weight of around 5,500 pounds, the Rolls-Royce Wraith defies expectations with its performance. Beneath the hood resides a robust 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine, delivering an impressive 624 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. Acceleration numbers are brisk, with the sprint to sixty-two mph (100 kph) taking less than five seconds—a feat reminiscent of older supercars or some of today’s sporty hatchbacks.
But why all the chatter about a model no longer in production? The spotlight falls on a customized iteration showcased in the accompanying gallery. Believed to belong to a resident of Beverly Hills, this bespoke grand tourer flaunts an alluring white exterior. Every facet, from body panels to trims, has been adorned in this pristine hue, even extending to the oversized alloy wheels, equipped with Forgiato center caps and wrapped in purposefully slim tires to fit seamlessly within the arches.
Privacy takes center stage with tinted windows enveloping the vehicle, guarding the interior’s secrets from onlookers. Yet, a tantalizing glimpse of the cabin is granted—a cocoon of luxury characterized by sumptuous dark red leather upholstery and customary metal accents. While the full extent of the interior remains concealed, speculation runs rife about potential bespoke options enhancing its lavishness.
Shared recently on social media by Forgiato, the exclusive wheel manufacturer, the images tantalize without divulging much about the car’s specifics, except for its availability for purchase. Though the exact price tag remains undisclosed, the extensive modifications suggest a significant investment. The question lingers: What would this level of automotive artistry be worth to you?
In essence, the allure of the Rolls-Royce Wraith, particularly in this bespoke rendition, transcends its mere status as a car. It represents a blend of engineering prowess and artistic expression—a vehicle that not only takes you places but also envelops you in an experience of luxury, craftsmanship, and exclusivity that remains timeless even as the years go by.
