Product Overview

Rolls-Royce Wraith is a full-size luxury coupe in production from 2013. It is available with two tunes of BMW's bi-turbo N74 V12 engine that displaced 6.6 liters.
Built on the same platform as the old F01 BMW 7 Series, the Wraith has a modern yet timeless exterior that has aged exceptionally well. Many lament that the sloping roofline is a bit unstately, though the car carries its size well.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 94% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from carmagazine have found:
The Black Badge is the most powerful, fastest and most engaging to drive Rolls-Royce that we have ever made. The chassis engineers beam with pride when they talk of how they've been able to adjust the character of the way the Wraith drives. There's no upper limit on Black Badge production, although it is more complex and time-consuming to make than a regular Wraith.
Pros
  • Gorgeous looks
  • Impressive handling
  • Comfortable to drive
Cons
  • More expensive than standard Wraith

Reviewers from cnet have found:
Wraith's interior is immaculately appointed, but the dated dashboard tech is a dark mark. Wraith's safety technology feels a bit more modern thanks to the addition of an $8,325 Driver Assistance 3 package. You don't configure or spec a Rolls, you commission it like a unique work of art.
Pros
  • Gorgeous interior
  • Powerful V8 engine
  • Stylish interior
Cons
  • Dated driver-aid suite
  • Lack of safety tech

topgear[3]

Reviewer score 75% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from topgear have found:
Many buy a Rolls to be driven in, not drive, so this area's arguably more key than any of that driving-it-on-the-door-handles nonsense. Unlike some big GT cars, it simply never shrinks around you, and you'll know precisely how much it weighs every time you use the brake pedal. With a claimed 19.8mpg and 327g/km, this is not a car that's bought with sense or frugality in mind.
Pros
  • Gorgeous design
  • Beautiful interior
  • Fantastic tech
Cons
  • Not the most fun to drive
  • Lack of USB ports
