Description
The 2015 Rolls-Royce Wraith is a striking grand tourer that pairs classic British luxury with genuine muscle. Under its long hood sits a twin turbocharged V12, matched to an 8 speed shiftable automatic transmission and rear wheel drive, delivering effortless thrust with the kind of silence and composure only Rolls-Royce can make feel natural. It was the most powerful Rolls-Royce of its era, rated at 624 horsepower and 590 lb ft of torque, and it could surge from a standstill with surprising authority for a car weighing about 5,380 pounds.
Designed under Giles Taylor, the Wraith gave Rolls-Royce a more dramatic, fastback profile, blending formal elegance with a more spirited character than the Ghost sedan on which it was based. The cabin is exactly what you would expect from the marque, hand finished, richly appointed, and built to make every drive feel special. In black over black, this example has a commanding, understated presence that suits the car’s mysterious name and confident stance.
The Wraith was launched in 2013 and remained in production through 2022, and while Rolls-Royce does not publish official model by model totals, UK registration data and sales records show it was never a mass market car. That rarity, combined with its unmistakable shape and V12 character, gives it lasting appeal for collectors and drivers who want something rare, imposing, and genuinely rewarding to own.
This is a luxury coupe that does more than arrive. It makes an entrance.
