For Rolls-Royce, inspiration is everywhere. The swankier carmaker of them all is inspired by many things to create bespoke luxobarges. The latest car to wear the Spirit of Ecstasy is the Nautical Wraith, a one-off inspired by racing yachts, one which captures the streamlined gracefulness of a sea vessel.
The luxurious grand tourer wears a two-tone paint job, blending Arabian Blue with English White. This is a great come together of two cultures. If Lawrence of Arabia were to live, he would exchange his squadron of armored Rolls-Royce cars for this exquisite machine created by the British manufacturer’s Bespoke branch.
The pinstriped coachline is the detail that completes the exterior makeover of this Rolls-Royce Wraith. Once you open the door, the Nautical Wraith urges you to take control of the helm. See the intricate marquetry in the dashboard? That pays homage to the decking on fast-paced sea vessels such as the Riva Aquarama, the most famous of Carlo Riva’s designs.
There’s an anchor motif inlaid into the veneer found on the dashboard, a kind reminder of the maritime inspiration that went into the making of the Rolls-Royce Nautical Wraith. Everywhere else you look inside the cabin, there’s Forest Fall leather finished with Navy Blue piping. The Starlight Headliner makes it all a bit more special. And yes, each Starlight Headliner features a one-of-a-kind pattern.
Under the hood of this Rolls-Royce you’ll find a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 with 624 horsepower and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. As such, the Wraith is the most powerful model in the lineup. I wouldn’t have it any other way considering that it is longer than a Chrysler minivan and seats three fewer souls. Pricing for the Wraith starts at $304,350 and the possibilities are endless provided that your account balance is fat enough. In related news, there's a cheaper Rolls-Royce than the Wraith. Cue the Ghost Series II.
