On the heels of the New York International Auto Show, Rolls-Royce has unveiled the Wraith Luminary Collection. A limited collection of just 55 Wraiths, these cars join the highly exclusive ranks of collectible, bespoke masterpieces.
“Wraith Luminary is a stunning collection car,” began Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “It speaks directly of our contemporary Rolls-Royce brand — progressive and trailblazing, the pinnacle in hand-crafted luxury. This is a motor car that celebrates visionaries who achieve eminence in their respective fields. Indeed, this collection is for the world’s luminaries.”
Energy courses through this highly-charged edition of Wraith. Upon opening the coach doors, you’ll be met by a statement of modern luxury as light flows from the front into the rear passenger compartment. The collection’s defining feature, Tudor Oak wood — as sourced from the forests of the Czech Republic — was selected for its depth of color and the density of the grain structure. And for the first time, that wood is illuminated. The light of 176 LEDs permeates through an intricately perforated design in the unique Tudor Oak veneer, allowing for a mesmerizing pattern reminiscent of the trailing light of a shooting star. Linked to the controls of the starlight headliner, the cabin’s veneer surrounds Wraith’s occupants in an ambient glow of light.
And speaking of shooting stars–the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective, a talented group of engineers, designers and craftspeople at the home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, West Sussex, England, has brought further theater to the cabin of Luminary in the form of brilliant shooting stars. In the prized Rolls-Royce starlight headliner, a handwoven configuration of 1,340 fiber optic lights that act as a glittering night sky put on a playful display of light that creates wonderment and awe for the car’s passengers. The remarkable success of Wraith in attracting a new generation of drivers to the marque is reflected in this distinctive motor car’s masterfully incorporated, innovative expressions of pure luxury.
