Wraiths form an indelible part of Rolls-Royce history. The last Wraith, the 1938 25/30, would have cost its then owner a princely £1,700. Then there was the Silver Wraith, built between 1946 and 1959, the last Rolls-Royce model to be delivered in "chassis only" form, dependent upon bespoke coachwork designed and made by a specialist coachbuilders. You might well recall its successor, the 1977 Silver Wraith II, the imposing long-wheelbase version of the Silver Shadow II. These were all very different cars but they shared one thing in common. They were never limelight cars, instead performing a more discreet supporting role to other more extrovert models in the Rolls-Royce range. That's certainly not the case with the latest Wraith. It's the smallest car the company makes but it's also the most powerful. This Wraith is a continent-crushing gentleman's gran turismo, the like of which Rolls Royce has never had on its books before. Were he alive, this is the car Charles Rolls would choose to drive, or at least so the current proprietors claim. In naming the car, Rolls-Royce hint at something of the noire about this model, something a little more menacing than the stately Phantom and Ghost models.
The Rolls-Royce Wraith is always going to polarise opinion. Any car that needs to make such an extreme style statement wouldn't work if it were merely blandly handsome. It's a model that challenges your opinions, resets a few of your benchmarks and leaves you with a deep-seated admiration of its sheer engineering excellence. I couldn't even tell you whether it's a great car. I'm so far from the typical customer profile of this machine that I find it tough to fully understand their buying motivations, but there's certainly a specialness to it that's deeply ingrained. At this price point, buying an automobile is a deeply personal thing. It's not about facts and figures any more, rather whether you think the values and personality of the model in question properly reflect yours - or are merely aspirational. Dropping the best part of a quarter of a million pounds on a car isn't always the high-involvement decision many of us believe. Rolls-Royce's order books seem to suggest that the Wraith has enough of the right stuff for a long, long queue of customers.
