this is the most powerful rolls-royce ever made. do you need to know anything else? they've been developing this wood for 10 years. they sure took their time. it doesn't seem to be anything special. ok, it's nice to the touch. i've been told they filled in all the tiny holes to smoothen it out. ladies and gentlemen, i give you wraith. with an 'i', not wrath. the word has its roots in scotland and holds the same meaning as ghost, but that's a different rolls-royce. that one isn't bad, but this is the true automotive pornography. 2,360 kilograms of pure comfort and statement. i bet even paris hilton would feel at home in this car, but she would probably prefer to sit in the back.
whereas this is the true driver's car and the most sporty of all their models with this beauty on the bonnet. they call it the spirit of ecstasy. i can tuck her in nicely so she won't become a living room decoration. this isn't their largest model, it measures 5.3 meters in length. it only has one pair of doors, but these are probably one of the biggest ever. but they close automatically, so it's no big deal. you won't lose this car, it stands out more than a space shuttle. the front really is aristocratic and the 21 inch rims are almost twice the size of those of an opel corsa. this truly is one of the most luxurious things you can buy. it costs 262,000 eur in slovenia, vat not included. 370,000 with the included extortionate tax.
i doubt anyone will register it in slovenia. you'll notice the true luxury once you open the door. the finest materials all around, leather, aluminium, wood, all top-notch. cows which contributed the leather grazed on meadows with soft fences so it's scratch-free. it probably takes more time to stitch the dashboard than it does to make a whole mini. the wood is angled at exactly 55 degrees, practically a rolls-royce's trademark. the carpet is thicker and softer than the one in my living room. and probably more expensive, it's lamb wool. you even have a starry sky in here. i know, opel adam has stars inside, too, but you can pick your own constellation here!
the rich usually tend to drive in the back, but the wraith is a driver's car. for a very attentive driver when driving in the city, because it's huge. not only the steering wheel, which is huge by itself, but the car. it's easy to make out where the front ends due to the spirit of ecstasy, but i can only guess where the rear ends. luckily there's a bmw's camera to aid me when parking. but when the road widens, this isn't nearly as clumsy as it looks. there isn't much body roll, and considering the large mass it's very convincing. the feeling inside is a bit strange, because you can't hear the sorroundings at all. it's like being enclosed in our soundproof studio.
the air suspension is on a whole different level than anything else. it makes sense when they say it's like driving on a cloud. however, matej says the ride is a bit firmer than phantom's. i just don't get it why i have 90 percent of power available at all times. actually, i do, i keep forgetting i have 632 horsepower under the bonnet. i could burn the tires in a second, this rear-wheel drive monster only needs 4.4 seconds to hit 100 kph. that's m3 speed. the 8-speed automatic gearbox works with the gps system to predict the turns and shifts to the appropriate gear. i think it's smarter than i am. well, at least it gives me more time to enjoy the comfort and all 18 speakers.
or the acceleration! who would have thought a car the size of a house could take off so quickly. overall, it's an incredible car. an amazing vehicle which will probably stay a wraith on our roads.
