Rolls-Royce is offering luxury car fans a last taste of the velvet hammer.
Rolls Royce has announced an extremely limited model - the Black Badge Wraith Black Arrow edition in a move that marks the end of the line for the Wraith coupe and its sumptuous V- 12 engine. Rolls-Royce is only making 12 of the cars, in keeping with it being the last V- 12 coupe.
As the last examples of this landmark motor car are about to leave Goodwood, we commemorate Wraith's status as the last series V 12 coup we will ever make, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars CEO Torsten M ller tv said in a statement. This magnificent final V 12 coup collection captures both the significance and spirit of Wraith through the marque's hallmark and peerless Bespoke capabilities. The Wraith debuted in 2013 and was a big hit for Rolls-Royce fans looking for a modern interpretation of a Rolls-Royce coupe. The British automaker says it has brought in a new younger generation of buyers for the brand - with the coupe featured in popular movies and music.
In keeping with Rolls bespoke capabilities as stated by M ller televisions the Black Arrow edition will use special open-pore Black Wood veneer for its internal panels, including a rear waterfall panel that separates the rear seats.
The seats, door details, and lower dashboard panel will be lined with special new club leather materials that feature enhanced color contrast and more natural leather markings. Rolls says this is to give drivers a more club-armchair type of driving seat. The V- 12 engine is the most important feature of this special edition. Here the 12 cylinder that is so smooth, one can barely hear it displaces 6.6 liters and outputs 624 horsepower and 605 lb-ft of torque. Yahoo Finance reviewed the standard Dawn Black Badge the Wraith's convertible sibling and it was a smooth, powerful and rather unique driving experience.
This amount of luxury and exclusivity does not come cheap. Pricing was not released for this special edition Black Arrow, but the standard Wraith coupe starts around $350,000.
As the Wraith heads off with this last special edition, it will be replaced by the face of Rolls-Royce's future - the Spectre EV couple. The Spectre EV will begin deliveries later this year, as the brand is poised to go fully electric by 2030.
