Rolls-Royce Reveals The Latest Edition Of The Wraith 'Inspired By Music'

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has contributed to the myth and legend of the contemporary music scene, since the birth of Rock and Roll. Over half a century later, this long standing love affair lives on, with some of the world's most celebrated artists choosing the marque as the ultimate affirmation of their success. In this spirit, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is delighted about revealing the Wraith 'Inspired By Music'. The car is the final entry in a trilogy of special Wraith models, with the 'Inspired by Film' 'Inspired by Fashion' cars having already been revealed. Designed to replicate the way live music is experienced, the system features state-of-the-art technology, including two 'exciter' speakers fitted into the headlining to bring the sound to ear level. Various microphones automatically monitor outside noises and adjust the volume and tone settings accordingly, to optimize the sound inside the car. Since the launch of the Wraith in 2013, customers have been able to commission their Rolls-Royce Wraith with Bespoke Audio, the most exhaustively designed sound system in the automotive history. Like every element of a Rolls-Royce motor car, its construction blends the finest components with the skill of the most eminent experts in their field. Now with Wraith 'Inspired by Music', these characteristics and the precious materials used in the Bespoke Audio system are brought very much to the fore.



Wraith 'Inspired by Music' appeals to those looking to Rolls-Royce for unique and creative motor cars. Its effortlessly cool appearance compliments the superior Bespoke Audio system. The contemporary use of copper creates an atmospheric setting for the most encompassing music system in the market. A lyrical copper exterior pint finish, presented with a blend of brushed and polished textures elegantly hints at the use of copper in only the very best audio systems. On opening the car's coach doors, attention is drawn to re-imagined speaker grilles, here presented in copper theme and engraved with the words 'Bespoke Audio'. The door panniers and floor mats have been crafted from finely woven leather to add and additional depth of tactility to the car's interior cabin. Copper colored door inserts, which start at the front of the cabin before tapering at the rear, have been included in the design to emphasize Wraith's characteristic internal curves. A book matched copper finish features for the first time on the Wraith's fascia, boldly extending the car's theme. The same copper tone extends to the Wraith's signature seat bullets.



The Bespoke Audio system was created from scratch by a team of the world's very best automotive audio engineers. The two year development process saw the team work closely with Rolls-Royce interior designers to ensure the system was perfectly tuned to the interior of the cabin. Indeed, this pursuit of aural perfection was deemed so important, that the interior designers had to consult with the chief audio engineer before making any changes. The extraordinary clarity of sound and dynamic range is delivered via a 1300W, 18 channel system compromising two highly powerful bass speakers, seven tweeters and seven mid range speakers. Two exciter speakers hand fitted in the cars headlining play a vital role in bringing the sound to the listener at ear level, ensuring the output perfectly imitates the way music is experienced in a live setting. The microphones constantly monitor ambient and exterior noises and will adjust volume and tone settings automatically to ensure no external agent detracts from the user's listening pleasure.



No changes have been made to the Wraith's running gear or engine, meaning it's powered by the same 624hp 6.6 litre V12 engine, as of the standard car. The Wraith can get to 100Km in just 4.4 seconds, despite the curb weight of 2435Kg.



Music is about youth, vibrancy and rebellion. So if you've got the dime then you surely need to add this unique edition of the Rolls-Royce to your garage. The price of the 'Inspired by Music' edition costs about £228,000.
