Rolls-Royce Black Badge Wraith Black Arrow Revealed

British luxury automaker Rolls-Royce recently revealed the Black Badge Wraith Arrow to mark the end of production of the iconic model. It is inspired by the land-speed record holding Thunderbolt from the 1930’s. Launched in 2013, the Wraith is the sportier sibling of the Phantom and Ghost. Now, with the brand going fully-electric for its upcoming cars, it is also the last V12 engine-powered Rolls-Royce ever. Only 12 units will be made, and all of them have already been sold out.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge Wraith Black Arrow: What is new?

The New Black Badge Wraith Black Arrow’s exterior features a new ‘gradient paint’ which, depending on the viewing position, transitions from silver to gloss black. Rolls-Royce states that the car is polished for over 12 hours to get a glass-like finish on the complex paint job. Like the Thunderbolt, the special-edition Wraith also gets yellow detailing on the front bumper, wheels and even on the black Spirit of Ecstasy insignia.

Inside, it provides a black and yellow interior theme with an unique artwork on the dashboard that depicts the V12 engine. There is also a new starlight headliner that features a record 2117 fibre-optic lights, and door cards with 320 pieces of marquetry to create a textured wood veneer. The vehicle also features an illuminated scale model of the Thunderbolt land-speed record car between its front doors. engineered and driven by Captain Edward Thomas Esyton, the Thunderbolt was a teardrop-shaped, aluminium race car that holds the record of the fastest V12 engined automobile ever. The record speed, 576 kmph, is inscribed beneath the watch face in the Special Edition Wraith.
