Rolls Royce is retiring its V12 Coupe, the Wraith, to the history books. To pay a prominent tribute to its super-coupe, the British carmaker developed a 12-unit-only Black Badge Black Arrow Collection featuring some bespoke Rolls Royce-esque touches. For instance, all Black Arrow collection Wraiths boast a gradient paint finish, one of the most complex surface finishes Rolls-Royce has ever produced, a 2117 fibre-optic ‘stars’ starlight headliner, new â€˜Club Leather’ interior surface treatment and each interior door panel featuring 320 marquetry pieces for a dramatic and tactile surface exhibition. This limited edition Wraith further boasts of design cues inspired by the former world land speed record-holding car, the Thunderbolt. The Black Arrow Collection Wraith is the final iteration of the V12 coupe before it bites the electrification bug.
