2019 Rolls-Royce Wraith RWD Automatic

Model Highlights

The Wraith attracts buyers who understand that they are getting the best of everything out of their car. The Wraith's power comes from a twin-turbocharged 6.6L V12 that makes a staggering 624 horsepower, sent to the rear wheels through an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Despite weighing over 5,000 pounds, the Wraith can reach 60 mph in a claimed 4.4 seconds. But of course, few drivers plan to take their Wraith to the local drag strip to see what it can do; Rolls Royce built the Wraith with sustained, high-speed cruising in mind. Thanks in part to its long wheelbase, the Wraith features one of the best rides available, yet because of its advanced chassis, well-damped suspension and 20-inch wheels, it corners without much body roll. The cruise control will even slow down for corners and speed back up when exiting them. There's much that can be said about the Rolls-Royce Wraith's styling: the front of the car looks upright and traditional, while the rear has a sloping fastback roofline that is both elegant and edgy. Rolls-Royce likes to say that the car has a touch of noir to it. Overall, it's a bit of a departure from the normally conservative styling that Rolls-Royce is known for. Being a Rolls-Royce, virtually everything is customizable. Exteriors are available in single shades or in myriad 2-tone combinations. The interior color palette is also customizable, featuring a dizzying array of options including things like bespoke stitching in the leather or a buyer's choice of 16 different types of wood paneling. Seats can be optioned with a massaging function in addition to being heated and cooled. Even the kickplates come in a choice of three different styles. More conventional amenities are of course available as well. The standard stereo system is a 1300-watt affair with eighteen speakers. Convenience features available include a "Comfort access" system which unlocks the door at a touch of the handle, and a trunk that can be accessed via a sweep of the foot under the rear bumper. Lambswool carpeting and a roof stitched with LED lights to resemble a starry night are just a couple of the other outlandish options available on the Wraith that help to make it one of the finest luxury touring cars money can buy.
