Rolls-Royce Wraith Submodels
The Rolls-Royce Wraith nameplate spans two distinct eras. The original Wraith was a pre-war chassis built from 1938-1939, serving as a base for custom coachwork and representing the pinnacle of late pre-war luxury. In 2013, Rolls-Royce revived the name for a fastback coupe based on the Ghost. This modern iteration is the most driver-focused car in the company's modern lineup, featuring a potent 6.6L twin-turbo V12 producing 624 horsepower.
Collectors are drawn to both versions for different reasons. Pre-war Wraiths are cherished for their rarity, historical significance, and the unique craftsmanship of their coachbuilt bodies. The modern Wraith is prized for its dramatic styling and its unique ability to blend traditional Rolls-Royce comfort with impressive performance. Special versions like the Black Badge, which offers more power and a darker aesthetic, are particularly sought after.
The market reflects this dual identity, with a wide value range. Pre-war cars and highly specified modern versions like the Black Badge or bespoke commissions occupy the top end. The bulk of the market consists of standard 2013+ models, which have experienced significant depreciation from their original sticker price, creating a compelling buying opportunity for a V12 grand tourer.
Buying Tips
- Verify the service history on modern Wraiths. The 6.6L twin-turbo V12 is complex, and deferred maintenance at a Rolls-Royce specialist is extremely costly.
- Test the air suspension system thoroughly. Check that the car sits level and cycles through its height settings correctly, as replacing components is expensive.
- Scrutinize all interior electronics, from the infotainment system to the Spirit of Ecstasy's retracting mechanism. If equipped with the Starlight Headliner, ensure all fiber optics are functional.
- For pre-war models, documentation is paramount. Confirm the provenance and originality of the coachwork, as this has a massive impact on value.
Prices for the Rolls-Royce Wraith range from $35,250 for project cars to $1,130,000 for concours-quality pre-war examples or bespoke modern editions.
