Living With the Rolls-Royce Wraith - $370,000 V12 Coupe Daily Driver (POV Binaural Audio)

I really love how you talk so quiet and calm in these luxury cars. Its so relaxing and refreshing from other peoples content where everybody screams at you like your some kind of deaf person.

what are the different kinds of deaf person? please elaborate

[@Maximilianboenicke]

@@CarQuizzical A person is said to have hearing loss (aka is some kind of deaf) if they are not able to hear as well as someone with normal hearing, meaning hearing thresholds of 20 dB or better in both ears. It can be mild, moderate, moderately severe, severe or profound, and can affect one or both ears.

[@ryangromoll9329]

$370,000 in 2016 equates to $464,000 in 2023 which means this thing didn’t just depreciated $170,000, it actually depreciated over a quarter of a million dollars accounting for inflation. Wild

any car will depreciate.... depending on miles trims etc. and it did not depreciate its called inflation and actually these things still can retail for FULL MSRP

[@VanceProduces]

3 things: 1. Indeed, the insulation is phenomenal. It's like a library inside. 2. The suspension adds to that experience. Especially in the Phantom, there's no other car on the road even CLOSE to having as smooth a ride. 3. Random, but the A/C and Heat are both insanely quick. Hopping into your RR on a hot summer day and you feel the heat escape when the door opens? No problem, blast that A/C and the entire cabin is frigid in 1-2 mins MAX. RR is truly the comfort KING!

The back seat of the Wraith is too small for bigger passengers. Especially if they expect RR comfort. The Dawn is much roomier in the back.

The POV driving was just pure relaxation to me. I am not physically in the car but I felt soothed!

[@Brookside975]

Agreed

[@danieleregoli812]

Two things I'd like to do: 1) test drive a RR on my local potholes, and finally see whether there is a way to make them disappear (and then dream of owning one!) 2) compare this with a Bentley, and see where we stand now in terms of comfort and quality, after so many years after the 'divorce'. P.s. that deer story just absolutely broke my heart and had me in utter shock man....

[@don_kandon6006]

Bentley continental probably has 80 or even 90% of quality and ride quality of wraith, but cost almost 3 times less- 630k msrp vs 230k msrp.

[@M_F754]

I completely understand what you mean about the analogue dials. It's like making high end watches all digital. It's cool for some cars to have digital displays but not all. Rolls Royce is my absolute favourite brand of car and to me it represents the best a car can be. It's not all about drama and speed and I think comfort and silence while on the move is like no other driving experience.

My favorite parts of the Wraith are those carpets and the seats. Your feet just sink into those carpets, and of course, those seats are the most comfortable in the world. Blew my mind.

[@yankee2yankee216]

An old friend of mine illustrated the biggest problem, after the cost, of driving an expensive car… people treat you differently! He bought a Ferrari, and he didn’t like it, because people started treating him “differently.” Poor people no longer spoke to him, except sometimes about the car, and rich people thought he was a poser, because his was the “cheap” Ferrari!”

[@liltre1321]

Thank you sooo much for the Wraith POV!!! Definitely respecting the drive ❤

[@richardmahoney9415]

This is real luxury not screens everywhere and all kind of electronics this is true luxury

[@pistonburner6448]

If anyone wants a low-cost version of this then the W205 Mercedes C-Class with the following options: air suspension and acoustic comfort package (the name of that extra sound insulation and double-pane window package can differ depending on market). The only thing missing from that car is the option for massage seats. Even better if you can snag one of the briefly available facelift cars from ~2019-2020...I guess some still available in 2021, at least in the US. IMO it's the world's best everyday car that offers supreme comfort and quiet, while also fun to drive. With the air suspension its softest mode really does approach Rolls-Royce-like 'waftiness' which separates the Merc from all the competition. And for the very first time I can recommend a Merc in this category for people who enjoy driving too: finally Mercedes doesn't offer horrible steering, in fact it's pretty good. Finally Mercedes doesn't have strange suspension setup, in fact it feels like an AMG-lite when you put the suspension in Sport or Sport+ mode! They've finally decided to make the car handle well, and IMO even though the car overall isn't as sporty as the BMW and Alfa they've actually made the handling perhaps even more cohesive and more pleasantly honed. So it's not as low-slung feeling, not quite as precise, nor as fast with its turn-in response, but overall to me it's better judged and overall more pleasant to drive fast...with the huge party trick of turning into a mini-Rolls at the press of a button! Seriously: go try a C300e with air suspension and acoustic package, I think you'll agree it's one of those automotive jackpots which happen along every once in a while. Especially now with the prices they go for slightly used! I prefer the W205 C-Class over the W213 E-Class just because of the feel and dimensions: IMO the E-Class doesn't really offer much over the C-Class. If you really absolutely need more space and are ready to then have a car that needs more space and is less handy in tight parking lots, on narrow roads, etc. then E-Class with the same options: air suspension and acoustic comfort package might make more sense. So in the US maybe go with that. Then you can also get massage seats which is a huge plus...it's fantastic on long journeys! My recommendation is the PHEV C300e as for the first time ever I'm ok with a 4-cylinder engine as it's so quiet it doesn't really matter...and modern snuffed-out AMG V8s almost sound the same as the 4-cyl when accelerating... There are the risks of PHEVs though of course, so make your own choice on the engine version. I just don't like the other engine options for the Merc: the non-hybrid 2.0 4-pots (C250 & C300) are fine I guess and maybe the smartest choice but most just won't want them, they want a bit more just because. The V6s are made to be annoyingly loud and they're IMO some of the worst sounding V6s I know...they annoy me actually. The C300e has astounding amounts of torque.

I drive a BMW 7 series from 2015 (full option, M-Sport package & Individual line) and even that car just feels soo smooth, very luxurious, spacious and sporty when in Sport mode. I can only imagine what an upgrade to a Rolls Royce would be.

[@johnro6659]

LOVE the car! I came close to buying a 2006 Phantom earlier this year from a friend for about a third of the average selling price. I drove it for about a day and as much as I loved it the maintenance costs turned me off. The ride was just amazing it was big and I felt like I was maneuvering a truck because it was so big and you forget it's big especially when you drive a Jag XJ8. I love the suicide two doors on these. I had a Lincoln Conv back in the day with suicide doors and a 4dr T-bird with suicide doors. I always loved the configuration since. Even thought I live in Boston my Jag mechanic is out that way. I have driven the same streets and have passed the school you went to. I got a little lost.

[@Adison29]

What a soothing half an hour. Beautiful 1st video of yours to watch after coming back from a little vacation. The spec is gorgeous. I was never a big fan of wood in the interior until this year I think. It might be the fact that I'm growing old but the combo of plenty of wood with white leather topped off with a silver & navy paint job makes for one hella gorgeous spec. Looks magnificent with all the rain drops when ceramic coated. I also am sad you had to give it back because I definitely wouldn't mind some more videos of it while you drive to do your chores.

[@dendemano]

I’m of a similar mindset to you, but I think back to the wooden facia and trim that was pretty much the same in all up market vehicles, just available different shades. It was highly polished and mottled, which is in stark contrast to what they offer today. Clean, simple, and modern Scandinavian design, such as the trim on this Wraith.

A small point of interest: these are not considered “suicide doors” as it is a 2 door car.

They had no quick/broad exit with the door openings facing each other. Love your RR, congrats!

[@Chris-gc1hw]

Ya I got like two of those or something! No seriously, you can appreciate the engineering here. When I was a kid, working at a very busy full-service carwash, I would get into a RR just out of the blowers and start it to drive to down to one of the doors.
