Overview

There's really nothing on sale today that's quite like the Rolls-Royce Wraith. There are cars that are as expensive as the Wraith, and those that offer a similarly deep level of customization, but just about all the competition aims at being both sporty and luxurious. Rolls-Royce eschews a pretense of athleticism. With the Wraith, it focused on making one of the most comfortable, well-appointed and exclusive coupes on sale today.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2020 Rolls-Royce Wraith 2dr Coupe (6.6L 12cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.78 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

This isn't a coupe meant for tackling winding back roads. That's not to say the Wraith isn't nice to drive, but this coupe was made for city streets and highway cruises. For those who do want a little more performance, the Wraith Black Badge offers more torque from the V12 engine.

The Wraith is Rolls-Royce's only coupe (the Rolls-Royce Dawn is essentially a convertible Wraith) and comes with a suitably regal interior. And that's before diving into the extensive options for personalization. Everything from the paint to the color and texture of the leather can be changed to your heart's content. Do you want a Wraith with a gold-plated Spirit of Ecstasy on the hood, a three-tone leather interior with bright red sheep's wool floor mats, and a contrasting steering wheel? Rolls-Royce will do it.

Competition is few in this league. The Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, McLaren GT and Ferrari 812 Superfast are all big, expensive coupes with long options lists and — with the exception of the V8-powered McLaren — and powerful V12 engines. While those may be faster and sharper to drive than the Wraith, none have quite the presence or lavish level of comfort as the Rolls.

Which Wraith does Edmunds recommend?

There's only one trim level and an endless list of configurable options, so picking the right Wraith comes down to personal preference and what you want your Rolls-Royce to say about you.

Helpful trims summary and side-by-side comparison chart

2020 Rolls-Royce Wraith models

The Rolls-Royce Wraith comes in a single well-equipped trim level that allows for extensive customization. All Wraiths are powered by a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V12. It makes 624 horsepower and 605 lb-ft of torque in standard guise, but opting for the Black Badge package ups torque significantly to 642 lb-ft. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Expect people to stop you and ask about this car. You will be seen driving this car. It is not a daily driver for instance you will not drive this car to Wal Mart. It's performance and design is the best I have ever seen. It is hand made with technology that is superior to most. The warranty is superior to most. It is covered bumper to bumper. It includes all maintenance. When it is time …

Simply the best
