2016 Rolls-Royce Wraith Review – Leave the chauffeur at home

The 2016 Rolls-Royce Wraith is something of an outlier for the British luxury brand – it’s the Rolls you drive yourself, rather than enjoy from the more traditional perspective of the rear seat. Past that, however, it’s also a car that intends to make your time behind the wheel a bit more engaging than what your chauffeur would experience piloting the four-door Ghost sedan on which the Wraith is based. Either way, after driving this two-door behemoth in and around Montreal, there’s one thing I can state without reservation: regardless of where you’re sitting, being inside the Rolls-Royce Wraith is an event in and of itself.

It’s only natural that a car measuring 17 feet in length would have an impact on a crowd regardless of the badge, but the Wraith takes the ripple made by its mammoth size one step further by pinging the bling detector of every pedestrian and passerby within a 50-foot radius. Even those who really have no interest in anything automotive instinctively recognize that the Rolls-Royce Wraith is something special as it floats silently down the street like some fantastical steam-punk conveyance pulled directly from the mind of Terry Gilliam.
