Luxury car of the month - August

|THE DEN|


The Rolls-Royce Wraith offers the greatest in luxury and comfort and is targeted for the extremely wealthy. Rear-hinged doors and the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy hood emblem are

standard on all models of this striking coupe. Beyond that, customers can add all kinds of personalisation to their chariots, turning their Wraiths into commissioned works of art.



For instance, the body panels of this automobile are manually brazed before the seams are meticulously sanded in preparation for painting. That doesn't, however, speak to the quite superb body it has built for this sporty coupé, which manages to infuse just enough energy into Rolls' distinctive style to increase the heart rate—but not enough to raise an eyebrow.


The Rolls-Royce Wraith is available in a single model that includes a wide range of features, including adaptive headlights with an auto-leveling system, rain-sensing wipers, LED taillights, and power-folding, auto-dimming side mirrors. All of the chairs in the interior are heated, and the front row seats are eight-way adjustable.



The Wraith's impressive 6.6-liter twin-turbo V-12 engine pairs with an eight-speed automated transmission to deliver 624 horsepower and 605 pound-feet of torque. This Rolls-Royce only has a rear-drive configuration, which results in poised and controlled handling.


Four passengers can fit in the Rolls-Royce Wraith coupe, two in each corner on bucket seats. The cabin combines traditional workmanship with contemporary features. The front seats offer a massaging feature that helps relieve sore muscles on lengthy rides, and the centre stack is embellished with two stylish circular air vents.



However, some of the iconic Rolls-Royce eccentricities require some getting accustomed to. The eight-speed automatic transmission has no manual override at all, and the engine has

no tachometer. Rolls-Royce says that the leathers are the softest in the industry, and they truly will feel that way. A multi-million dollar superyacht would be adorned with the similarly tactile, bookmatched "Canadel" wood panelling that runs throughout the fascia and doors.
