Did Rolls-Royce stop making the Wraith?

I’ll cut straight to it: yes, Rolls-Royce stopped making the Rolls-Royce Wraith. If you’ve been eyeing one, you’re shopping used now—and that’s not a bad thing. I’ve done a few long hauls in Wraiths over the years, and it still feels like driving your living room couch down a French autoroute at 120 mph. Quiet. Effortless. Slightly decadent. And now, officially, a modern classic.

Did Rolls-Royce stop making the Wraith? Here’s the short answer

Production of the Rolls-Royce Wraith ended in 2023, marked by the Black Badge Wraith Black Arrow special edition—the last of the breed. In the U.S., Wraith (and Dawn) quietly bowed out earlier due to regulations. The spiritual successor in the range is the all-electric Spectre, another two-door grand tourer but with a very different character.

Global production of the Rolls-Royce Wraith ended in 2023.
U.S. availability wrapped earlier than that due to changing regulations.
Rolls-Royce doesn’t publish exact production totals; expect relatively low volumes.

What the Rolls-Royce Wraith is like to drive

I remember the first time I really leaned on a Wraith—rolling into a sweeping on-ramp where lesser coupes get fidgety. The Wraith just gathered itself and went. You feel the heft (about 5,380 pounds), but the twin-turbo 6.6-liter V12—624 hp and 605 lb-ft—turns mass into momentum. 0–60 mph in about 4.4 seconds, which is amusing when you’re sitting on what looks like a Windsor chair. The eight-speed auto reads the road via GPS and downshifts proactively; on a mountain route it felt like it could predict my next move. Witchcraft? No, but it’s the most Rolls-Royce kind of tech.

Engine: 6.6L twin-turbo V12 (624 hp/605 lb-ft)
0–60 mph: ~4.4 seconds; top speed limited to 155 mph
Drive: Rear-wheel drive, air suspension as standard
Economy: About 12/18 mpg city/highway—bring a fuel card
Vibe: Like driving in slippers, with the torque of a tugboat

Living with a Rolls-Royce Wraith day-to-day

It’s long (nearly 208 inches), so plan your valet situations accordingly. The coach doors are a theatre piece—brilliant in tight kerbsides, a bit of a reach if you park nose-in on a steep driveway. The back seats are usable for adults on dinner journeys, but not quite “Paris-to-Nice” comfortable unless your friends are forgiving. The cabin is whisper-quiet—you will hear your kids squabbling about who gets the umbrella. Infotainment is old-school BMW under the skin, which works, though some 2015–2017 cars can feel a step behind today’s glossy systems.

Did you know? The Starlight Headliner isn’t just dots. You can spec constellations, shooting stars, even custom patterns. I met an owner who had the night sky from his wedding date stitched into his Wraith. That’s the brand, right there.

Rolls-Royce Wraith vs. the rivals

Shopping used? Here’s how the big coupe stacks up against similarly decadent GTs. Specs vary by year and trim, but this paints the picture.

Car	Power	0–60 mph	Drivetrain	Character
Rolls-Royce Wraith	624 hp (V12, twin-turbo)	~4.4 sec	RWD	Effortless grand tourer; whisper-quiet luxury
Bentley Continental GT Speed	650 hp (W12)	~3.5 sec	AWD	More athletic, still plush; sport-luxury mix
Aston Martin DB12	671 hp (V8 twin-turbo)	~3.5 sec	RWD	Driver-focused GT with sharper edges
BMW M8 Competition	617 hp (V8 twin-turbo)	~3.0 sec	AWD (switchable)	Brute force, high-tech, less “occasion”

Still, nothing rides like the Rolls-Royce Wraith. If you want theatre, tranquility, and that unmistakable presence, it sits in its own corner of the room.

Protecting the cabin: AutoWin floor mats for the Rolls-Royce Wraith

I’m picky about accessories in a Rolls. They need to look the part, not just fit. The AutoWin floor mats I tried in a 2019 Wraith fit snugly around the pedal box and footwells—no awkward gaps, no sliding about when you toe the throttle. Materials feel robust and tactile; after a winter of wet shoes and the occasional gravel car park, they cleaned up easily and kept the lambswool carpets pristine.

Want a little flair? There are sheepskin options that actually play nicely with the Wraith’s opulent vibe:

Side tip: If you’re speccing lighter leathers, protect the driver’s side kick area—scuffs show quickly in Wraiths. A custom-fit mat and a gentle leather cleaner go a long way.

Pricing, value, and what to watch for on a used Rolls-Royce Wraith

When new, a Wraith typically started around $330,000–$350,000 before bespoke options (and the sky’s the limit there). Today, used examples range anywhere from roughly $150,000 to north of $300,000 depending on year, mileage, specification, and whether it’s a Black Badge. The Black Badge Wraith, with its extra attitude and dynamic tweaks, commands a premium and feels a touch sharper on a favorite back road.

Service history matters—prioritize cars maintained at Rolls-Royce or trusted specialists.
Check for curb rash on those large wheels and any parking dings—this is a wide coupe.
Electronics have BMW DNA; software updates can smooth out early infotainment quirks.
Fuel economy is…let’s call it “optimistic.” If that’s a worry, the brand-new Spectre might be your future.

Conclusion: Did Rolls-Royce stop making the Wraith?

Yes—production of the Rolls-Royce Wraith has ended. But the car’s appeal hasn’t. As a used luxury GT, it serves up a rare blend of serenity and thunder, with that unmistakable Rolls-Royce theatre every time you pull the door closed and watch the stars twinkle overhead. If you’re bringing one home, a little protection goes a long way: the AutoWin floor mats I used kept the cabin spotless without spoiling the mood. The Wraith remains a special way to travel—quiet enough to hear your own thoughts, and quick enough to outrun them.
