The Rolls-Royce Wraith is awash with several awesome standard and optional features through which the price can rise to as much as half a million dollars. Built for the super-rich, the Rolls-Royce Wraith exemplifies keen attention to finer details, quality craftsmanship, and class. The elegantly finished coupe comes with basic Rolls-Royce features, like the Spirit of Ecstasy ornament and the type of superior finishing enthusiasts of the brand have grown accustomed to.
But beyond that, Wraith is built to be noticed and achieves that with exceptional features that stand it out among other luxury cars, making it stake a claim at probably being the best coupe utility around. The Wraith is a statement car, and it delivers on that front with tons of superb components that justify its high price. Cherry-picking from a plethora on offer, these are the most awesome features on the Rolls-Royce Wraith.
10 Amazing Speed
Weighing more than 5000 pounds, the Wraith isn’t a sports car, however, it’s not slow either. With a twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V-12 engine which churns out an impressive 605 lb-ft of torque and 624 horsepower, the Wraith is one of Rolls-Royce’s fastest cars.
The car can sprint from standstill to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds. To get such a massive car moving at such speed is quite impressive. Furthermore, the Wraith has a lightly weighted steering, and the handling is superb, to put it mildly.
9 Satellite Aided Transmission
Almost every modern car comes with GPS navigation features and the Rolls-Royce Wraith is certainly no different as it also offers excellent navigation features, but with an entirely new twist. The car syncs its GPS with an 8-speed satellite-aided automatic transmission that scans the entire road ahead and changes gears to suit the road’s demands.
Apart from helping the driver navigate roundabouts and mountain passes, this feature also has a pedestrian warning system.
8 Night Vision
A handful of luxury carmakers have incorporated night vision into their vehicles, but the Wraith became the first car to offer the feature on Rolls-Royce standard cars. The night vision feature is beneficial in low visibility conditions, like fogs, torrential downpours, blizzards, etc.
Although the technology isn’t entirely new, it could be the thin line between bumping into other cars at full speed and driving with confidence in low light conditions.
7 Infotainment Screen
Most people who own a Rolls Royce are tied down to the car's iconic past, and it would take a lot of persuasions to convince them to embrace a new design of the car. Furthermore, being one of the most unique features of all Rolls-Royce, the manufacturer has done excellently in keeping the car’s dashboard pretty classic yet modern.
An infotainment screen was added to the car’s analog gauge cluster using a technology that slides the screen easily into the dashboard at the touch of a button keeping the car classic for the right moments.
6 Sheepskin For The Floors
Wraith takes the definition of a luxury car even further with its posh carpeting. Artificial fibers and nylon are the raves of the day when it comes to modern car floor coverings. This car defies convention and goes with warm English wool with a delicate layer of skin beneath it.
Firstly, this was unexpected and brought an additional layer of comfort to the car. Secondly, yes, you have to take off those muddy boots before getting into the car.
5 1340 Fiber Optic Stars
Why do you have to sit in the cold and wait for stars at night when you have a Rolls-Royce Wraith? Some serious work has gone into the production of this fantastic luxury car. The car’s headliner is fitted with 1,340 fiber-optic stars, all hand-woven.
The great news is that you can put on your “stars'' anytime you wish, but the best result can be had when the sun goes down. A new rivalry the actual stars in the sky didn’t see coming.
4 Suicide Doors
The Wraith’s door, though quite heavy, opens backward with a gentle nudge on its silky handle. The door’s substantial weight does not cause it to fly out recklessly. Instead, it rolls out in a manner that gives you enough time to adjust your clothes and step out gracefully.
As there is no shuffling or bundling out of the car, and with one swift movement, your feet are on the ground, Rolls-Royce has demonstrated the art of seamless departure.
3 Spirit Of Ecstasy
The spirit of ecstasy is one of several features that give the Rolls-Royce cars their identity. Perched on its spot above the legendary Rolls-Royce grille, drivers can preprogram the iconic feature to lower into the car’s body automatically when it is parked, while a plain cat figure takes its place.
Also, when choosing to leave the Wraith’s lady on the hood, it is quite safe, as any touch or forceful gesture would cause it to retract instantly.
2 Sound System
For a car of Rolls-Royce Wraith’s caliber, one would expect it has a standard sound system that could rival the best studios in town, but that isn’t the case here. The Wraith comes with an option to install an intriguing bespoke sound system that costs $10,000.
With a total of 18 channels and an output of 1300 watts, plus an additional 18 speakers, the car offers its money’s worth of sound. The sound system is optimized to produce the best timbre, pace, and general quality.
1 Iconic Rolls-Royce Umbrella
Several car brands try to add unique features to their cars to make them as distinct as they can be. For Rolls-Royce, one of such features is its umbrella. Calling it a “hallmark” feature of its lineup, the umbrellas are somewhat hidden, as they are slotted right into a specially crafted space on the door.
The umbrella costs around $700, and it’s made from strong and durable components which include carbon fiber. A drain and heater keep the umbrella dry in its special compartment.
