Overview

Competing in the midsize coupe segment, the 2016 Rolls-Royce Wraith Coupe is a direct competitor to the rivals with a much lower price tag such as the Aston Martin DB11, and the Bentley Continental GT Speed. With a single trim on offer, the 2016 Rolls-Royce Wraith starts off at an MSRP of $304,350. Each trim is offered with a 6.6L twin-turbocharged V12 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 624 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. That said, through this powertrain, the Wraith manages a 0-60 of 4.7 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 15 MPG.

Buying Advice

There is only one trim level available for the Wraith, however, you can choose only everything from paint, wheels, and interior trim, to options. You won't find a more feature-rich coupe in this segment in terms of features, safety, and craftsmanship.
