Wraith Black Arrow marks end of R-R V12 coupes

One last special edition as Goodwood gears up for Spectre EV.

This Wraith is a big deal, then, and the specification reflects that. It’s based on the Black Badge model, already the most powerful R-R ever at 632hp, with a design concept inspired by Thunderbolt, a land speed record car from the 1930s. That’s not just been randomly plucked from the archives, either; not only was the Thunderbolt powered by a pair of Rolls-Royce V12 aero engines, it’s the fastest V12-powered car ever built.

Not least with so much to look at inside. The Black Badge Wraith Black Arrow is treated to Black Wood for the doors - of course - albeit made up of ‘over 320 multi-directional and lasered marquetry pieces that mimics the cracked, irregular surface of the Bonneville Salt Flats’. The dashboard brings the V12 into the cabin and was another two months’ work, engraving into black coated aluminium to again evoke the land speed record car.
