2016 Rolls-Royce Wraith Review,Specification and price


The 2016 Rolls-Royce Wraith revels in its outsized price and heft

 Review

The 2016 Rolls-Royce Wraith deftly blends modern technology with traditional craftsmanship in a stylish coupe that makes no excuses for its lavish excess.  
 
   Just over a decade ago designer Marek Djordjevic established a new design vocabulary for Rolls-Royce, and the Wraith shares its elegantly muscular look with stablemates such as the Ghost sedan and forthcoming Dawn convertible. It's defined by rectangular headlights on either side of a simple-but-bold grille, slab sides, and a bluff, neatly sculpted tail. The design lends itself to the two-tone paint schemes used by Rolls-Royce for most of its history. There isn't much precedent, however, for the Wraith's fastback styling—sportier coachwork usually graced Bentleys—but the retro-inspired slope looks good from most angles.

the Wraith is built on a variant of the BMW 7-Series platform,exactly like the Ghost.A 6.6-liter twin-turbo V-12 rated at 624 horsepower propels all 5,203 pounds of the Wraith to 60 mph in a swift 4.4 seconds, according to Rolls-Royce. (This makes it a few quicker than the Ghost.) And a Wraith will charge all the way up to an electronically-limited top speed of 155 mph.

 An innovative ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic transmission uses GPS and terrain data to pre-select ideal gears for smoother performance through sharp turns, hills, and dales. Twenty-inch wheels are standard, while 21-inchers are optional. A stately ride quality is as much a Rolls-Royce trait as the Spirit of Ecstasy on the car's bonnet, and it's achieved in the Wraith with an electronically controlled air suspension. This all contributes to the change "waftability" that Rolls-Royce wants to achieve in its cars.

Rolls-Royce has always turned out top-notch interiors, and the Wraith doesn't disappoint. Rich, soft leather, finely crafted woods, and machined metal trim elements surround occupants in all four seats. Buyers who are willing to wait for a special order can ask for almost anything, even if it's not on an option list that already includes plenty of outré features like a fiber-optic light system that mimics a star-filled night sky. Those who prefer to gaze at the real stars may specific a fixed glass roof with a leather sun blind.

Propelling you from 0-60mph in just 4.4 seconds, Wraith hosts the most powerful Rolls-Royce engine ever. Alive with the latest technologies, including the satellite-aided transmission that predicts the road ahead, Wraith retains its cool and calm composure, even at speed.Leaving you to enjoy the effortless drive. It's more fuel-efficient than the larger Phantom Coupé, but the Wraith can't escape its significant and massive potent engine. The EPA estimates gas mileage at 13 mpg city, 21 highway, 15 combined.

It takes 450 hours to build and craft Wraith. And the effort spent perfectly bookmatching veneers and working the leather is merely a glimpse of the craftsmanship involved in creating the power, style and drama of Wraith.
